Style Banks in Direct mode

Post by pa4x_user »

I am using Direct mode (on internal Disk) to store my various custom styles.

Now I thought I read previously on the forum that one of the advantages of Direct mode is that you can keep expanding the size of your style storage.

I am just about out of space now (13 libraries of 6 pages each), but I can't see how to add either extra library or pages.

So... is it actually possible? Advice appreciated.

No you cannot expand - it is limited purely like any other SET

Nothing to stop you having multiple SETS though.

True, but I got the impression that pa4x_user was wanting to expand the Direct SET in order to have more banks instantly playable....maybe I misunderstood....

Hi,

may be I missunderstood you.

But "direct" is NOT for INTERNAL DISK, it´s to be used for USB-Sticks.

And if you´ve more than one folder on your stick you can change it in the settings.

Pete understood me correctly.

And thanks Snoopy, I understand you can have multiple direct sets, but not what I was after.

"Direct" can be allocated to and accessed from a folder on any storage device, internal or external.

Yes,

but using it with internal HD doesn´t make a lot of sence in my opinion.

If you use it with USB you can use one stick for different keyboards ;)
