 Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 11:40 pm Post subject: USB Wave files not visible to PC or Mac |
 |
|
I just finished recording a little ditty (a theme song for a friend's YouTube show), and everything went great. My Kronos 88 is a DREAM! I bounced all the tracks to disk, and selecting the thumb drive I had plugged in, and the Kronos created a WAV file for me. I verified that it was a viable file via the Disk menu, and even played back the WAV. No problem.
However, the files created by the Kronos are completely invisible to both my desktop PC and my MacBook. Shows the drive as empty.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible that there's more than one partition on the thumb drive?
On the Mac, you can find out this way:
1. Open Disk Utility.app
2. Select the physical USB device in the left panel of Disk Utility (as opposed to the logical volume(s) on the device)
3. With the physical device selected, the Partition tab will appear.
4. Go to the Partition tab, and see what it shows.

Thanks Dan. I checked via the Disk Utility app and it's a single 8GB MS-DOS (FAT) partition... so it probably should be FAT32 at that size.
I'll reformat the thumb drive with the proper format type and see if things change. |

| Formatted and verified FAT32, 8GB - one partition. Kronos only sees some 215Mb that's otherwise invisible to any other PC/Mac. I'll try a different thumb drive next. |

I had problems loading/reading samples from a USB drive that had been formatted on a Mac (FAT32). The problem was solved by formatting the drive/stick on the Kronos under DISK>UTILITY. It does mention in the Manual that drives should be formatted on the Kronos.
Give it a try, it may just sort things out for you.

I heard it from more devices (also cameras) that it is always advised to format some media (sd card, usb stick etc) on the device itself. Mostly the PC/Mac is more forigiving about a (slightly) different format structure.

Well, I formatted a different (smaller, 512Mb) thumb drive at the Kronos. Format went well... bounced the tracks to the thumb drive... still completely invisible to my PC. Frustrated. |

I have a 2G stick, formatted on K Fat 16.
I see all the files, but if I put the stick in my iMac to copy a folder to it,
and then place it back into K, there are always the same additional files added:
Spotlight-V100
Trashes
_Trashes
.fsventsd
Only one partition..
Anyone have a clue why it does this?

| What happens if you mount it on a Linux box and do a 'ls -la' ? Any files there? What attributes set? |

Thanks Michelkeijzers!
Odd, it never did this on my Mac Pro, just my iMac..
At least it's nothing and I have been deleting the extra files with no problem.

Affirmative. I had to blow away the partition on the thumb drive and recreate it on the Mac w a MSDOS master boot record. Then I brought it to the K and dumped my wav without problems. |

Glad to hear. One would think to have better results formatting on K.
Go figure..
