Help needed : OT set disappeared !!! 12 Years, 9 Months ago
Bonjour !

Has any one of you already faced this problem ?

As usual this morning, after powering my OT, i wanted to load a project.

I then realized that my SET has somehow disappeared... No more audiopool, no more projects, no nothing !!!

All my savings seem to have vanished during the night...

TEST MODE is helpless.

When checking the 4Go COMPACT FLASH from a PC, its memory looks occupied as should be (1 Go free) but no file is reachable, like they don't exist at all...

Any information is welcome !

Thanks in anticipation.

if you are using the memory card it came with the unit, best checking if it can be accessed using a computer, if not try formatting it, I have seen cases where the card just burns out

When i check the card via computer, it appears that most of its memory is used (with my samples and projects ?) but no file appears (audiopool, projects, parameters...)...

I don't want to format it now as i have not made a copy on computer and don't want to lose my sounds and projects...

At least until i'm sure i can't get my files back...

Thanks !

I had the same problem with my original CF card, but it wasn´t important stuff.

Many years ago, after a bad computer crash I bought "Stellar recovery", an app
that finds deleted files on various drives (also CF cards). It really helped me a lot.

I was curious and tried to recover the stuff, which was on the broken original
elektron card I mentioned and was able to recover everything.
Since your memory on the card says that it is not empty, you are able to revover
it, but "Stellar" is not for free or cheap, but I think you can test it and check if it
recovers your files. I don´t know how important you stuff is and if it´s worth to buy
a recovery app, but it´s the only option I can think of.

French I guess ?!, so:

Thanks for your help !

The analysis of the card reveals my files are still on it. That's good news !

But, as i can't reach them, i have to pay 40 bucks for the software to get them back...

I think i'll wait for a free solution !

Merci,
