Uploading Banks to the Fusion's HD

[parametric]

Scottyoo1 said . . .

Hello again, I have tried to download the hollow sun banks using a Windows 10 laptop and a Windows 7 laptop. Neither have been successful for me. I even went back in toy global on the fusion and format the hard drive again. After that, I redownload the hollow sun banks again on the laptop. After they downloaded I clicked on the first hollow sun bank and I extracted the file. It came up as a folder saying hollow sun #1 bank. I then plugged my USB in my laptop and the fusion drive came up in the laptop as F. I did as the instructions you sent me said to do. I took the hollow sun bank and put it right beside the word volume in the fusion drive. It started copying it to the drive. Once it was done I unplugged the USB cord from the laptop. My keyboard started loading. Once that was done I went an push the global button on the keyboard and went and push items. There, was a list that said songs, patterns, samples, users and etc. I never seen any hollow sun banks. I went programs on the list and never seen the hollow sun banks there either but I still push verify there but nothing happened.

Am I doing something wrong ? Do I need to load a certain type a driver in my laptop? I really need your help.

Thank you! Again, Scott

Read my previous replies in <Messages> for more detail.

I prefer to conduct these discussions in the Forum, so everybody can benefit . . . .

I just checked MY copies of the HS Freepack#s and if you open any of them there is a <volume> folder inside

THIS is the Folder you drag to the ROOT of the Fusion's HD - NOT the HS Freepack# Folder!

All EXCEPT HS Freepack#13.  My copy of this is Malformed with NO volume folder inside.

If you <PM> you email addy to me, I'll attach the corrected version I've made, or better still, I'll send you ALL the HS Freepacks - AND Joeri Peeter's document too.

Ok, I finally was able to load the banks in my alesis fusion. What I had to do, using Windows 7, I loaded all the banks downloaded on my computer. Next I extracted them. Then I opened them. For a example, hollow sun 1, when I opened it up to the volume folder. From there I open up the volume folder to where it said multisamples, programs, samples. I clicked on programs where it didn't open up it. I right click it and used the copy option. Then I when and clicked the fusion drive on my computer.from there, I put my mouse pointer right beside volume and right click and chose paste. It readed on my computer screen copying to volume folder. I unplugged the USB cord and went to global button. I push items button. I mark all in there and them pushed process. From there a new screen came up. I push the dec button till I got to program and then push verify. I push yes and it loaded.

GOOD to know that you have succeeded . . . . !

Two points:

You do NOT need to go INSIDE the Volume folder when adding Banks.

simply right-click on it and select <copy>

Then OPEN the Fusion HD, and (as you said) right-click NEXT to IT'S Volume folder and select <paste>

It's that simple.

You can copy/paste MANY Banks BEFORE you disconnect the Fusion.  The <Verify> process will deal with ALL that you have copied.

N.B. - When you Verify, tick ALL the options SONGS, MIXES, PROGRAMS, PATTERNS, MULTISAMPLES, SAMPLES . . . .

It may not be relevant for simply adding Banks - but as you do MORE, they WILL become relevant, so best to tick them all . . . . .

The SECOND Point is - DO NOT simply pull out the USB cable when you have finished.  Doing this may corrupt your data . . . .

FIRST - Close all Explorer Windows that are open*.

Right-Click on the Fusion HD and select <Remove Drive> and let Windows TELL you that it has removed the Drive . . . .

AS SOON as you do this, the Fusion will reboot by itself . . . . . THEN you can remove the USB cable . . . .

*Note: Windows cannot remove the Drive if it is open in a Window . . . . .

So now you can enjoy all your new sounds . . . .

Chris is right, you simply copy the volume folder to your Fusion's Hard Drive Root directory
