Stash files on your SD card.

Post by mallblimps »

did a quick lazy search to no result cuz I wasn't sure if this was even possible....but...

did you realise you can use your SX's SD formatted card (whatever brand doesn't matter) to basically hold any other data and it doesn't fuck with your samplers regular operation? opens some cool possibilites.

did a small experiment....create a folder in the root of the card, name it STASH for instance, (dunno if char limits would matter in the root dir but was just being safe). Then fill it with whatever files you need to have on the go in addition to your SP's data. I turned my machine back on with it fully loaded with pdfs/movies/apps/subfolders/longass file names etc and my sp behaved perfectly normal for the 30 or so minutes I tested it.

no idea how this might affect resampling glitches/transfer rate, but I've never had that prob with any card I've used yet.

I'll leave it up to y'all for potential possibilities, but for me this means I can use the unused other 20 or so gig on my card for file and movie storage on my tablet, where I use the same card to organise sp sets. pretty dope. enjoy and please post if you run into any glitches/problems trying it out

since the SP only reads the folders and doesnt create a partition when its formatted, its totally fine to put anything you'd like on the card otherwise. as long as those folders aren't disrupted
