Hi
I have used the extreme's 2 ch mix to media function to mix down a song to a wav file. I created the wav file okay on my CF card (pre formatted on the extreme) but when I played it back only about 1/3 of the song had been converted. I am using a 16GB CF card. Any suggestions please?

Maybe the wave file itself is incomplete.
Triton extreme has limited sampling compared to the kronos but that shouldn't affect the song data in sequencer to media mode.
I bet you checked the media for haow much memory is available, and i bet you have tried a brand new unused media freshly formatted on the triton.
A single song would be measured in kilobytes. Kronos has 8 full flare demo songs from the factory to demnstrate the full range of the kronos and that should be near the high end of memory per major song.
Kronos has 8 of demo somgs that use sequencer and audio tracks and they only use up 1 megabyte total file space.
So your one song is not an issue of capacity on the CF. It could be the capacity of your wave file packet or a formatting glitch.
Formating on the kronos actually has 2 kinds of FAT formats. One is a quick format and the other is a full format that takes quite a while to complete. A full format is recommended if the triton doesn't have a one and only option.
Not sure what the details are on the triton for setting up a wave file conversion. But maybe there is something more to the conversion if not a glitch in the system on an old device.
CF is not the only option. I stopped using CF and switched to USB stick when i had the triton extreme. Because its more compatible with other devices.
Try using a new USB memory stick, instead of CF. There may be a glitch or dirt in your CF slot. If The USB slot does the same thing, then you may consider looking at an internal glitch or something you are missing in the process of making the wave file. Is there a limit to the size of wave files you can make on the Triton and is there a way to check the wave file capacity.?
Formatting glitch?
Dirty CF slot/pins?
Internal glitch?
Wave file packeting issues or limits?
Tried using the USB port with a USB drive?
Just some suggestions. I Would try the USB stick first and work down the list of suggestions from there.

A stereo wave file of the TEX format (48KHz, 16 bit) is roughly 11MB per minute. I don't know your song tempo but it's definitely a lot more than a few KB. 19naia is thinking of saving as an SNG or SMF file, which only saves note data and program information, not audio.
I don't actually know how the TEX does this but there's a chance it uses sampling RAM as a buffer. Have you tried increasing the tempo of your song and seeing if you get more measures in the WAV file?

Thanks - 19naia also suggested RAM as the possible issue. I investigated but am already maxed out to 96mb so that wasnt it.
It looks like I just need to use a fully formatted USB stick as opposed to cf card..have ordered one so we shall see..

Problem solved..I specified media on the drop down in the sampling tab on the sequencer mode, set the sampling time to 10 minutes (using a fully formatted fat32 cf card) and it fully recorded the track.still doesn't recognise the formatted sub stick as destination directory but I can copy from cf card. Thanks guys for your help.
