Hoping someone techsavvy can help me out. in preparation for an upcoming live gig, I accidentally deleted my usb files (i.e. sequenced songs--around 50 of them--samples, special programs) ARg..
Now I used a recovery software on my laptop to try and get them back, but the Triton does not recognize them, or simply puts FILE Unavailable. Does my triton need to be updated? if so, I'm kind of out of luck being that I don't have a compact flash disc. Everything was working before with usb drive.
Any help is MUCH MUCH appreciated.
Best,
John
issue with Korg Triton Extreme:

Was the file deletion event a re-formatting of the USB memory? If so, it will be very difficult to get much back.
The key to successful file recovery after deletion is, after the fateful deletion event, to do absolutely nothing that could possibly write any data to the affected USB memory, and to recover the files to another location e.g. on the computer's hard drive. After that, try to copy any remaining undeleted files on the USB back to the hard drive in such a way that you're able to rebuild the file structure that existed on the original USB drive. If unsure, place a fresh USB memory stick into the Triton Extreme, and save some files e.g. a Song, and a PCG backup, then look at where the Triton placed those files. Use that file structure as a basis for copying the recovered files onto another fresh USB memory device.

thanks bpoodo,
First, I'd like to know if that's a costly enterprise? Is there any way to extract the files from the Korg itself, like via usb cable to computer or compact flash? I am So frustrated because, my unit is not cooperating; it doesn't even read compact flash media (which I purchased on Amazon), and the hyper drive doesn't take the CF either (too big I guess).
But back to the Korg. A series of error messages, like File Unavailable when I try to load the deleted files. Illegal SMF? and also Media type error--when powering on with Locate and Enter held.
It sounds like the Triton itself is having issues, no?
Any feedback once again is greatly appreciated. You can also pm me. John

Recuva is free for the non-premium version. So it may be worth a try to see if it can recover your files. I used it once, and it was able to recover some, but not all, of the files from a corrupted SD card.
Program / Combi / Global data is retained in your Triton non-volatile memory, so those files can be saved off to a USB flash drive using Media>Save>Save All. Sequences / Songs / Sample data are not retained in your Triton non-volatile memory, they are gone after you power off your Triton.
I don't know if it's the media gone bad or the Triton or both. Check if the data is on the USB flash by connecting it to your computer and seeing if the directories and files are there. If they are not there, try Recuva to see if you can recover all or some of the files.

Thanks again for your input. Even after using Recuva, the Triton rejects the file format. At this point, I may have to admit defeat. Do you by any chance know why the Triton would give the following error messages: File Unavailable, Media Type Error (when powering on with Enter and locate held down), and Illegal SMF. That's what I basically read.
Korgusa also responded to me, saying that the files were corrupted by initial recovery effort, and probably not coming back. any other ideas, voip, boodoo etc?

Sadly, I think it's one of those "put it down to experience" things. The problem with most filetypes is that if something in the file gets corrupted, the file is no longer useful. There are some exceptions, like document files, where we can take a look at the document and, provided not too much corruption has occurred, make some attempt at fixing the errors.
For anything that matters, make backups.
