Re: SmartMedia Questions.

I went down to Wal-Mart and got the cheapest 32 MB SmartMedia card I could
find ... turned out it was a Memorex ... no problems with it so far. I have
the SanDisk reader which works fine for me.

OK, so have you figured out the idiosyncrasy with transferring samples to
your Electribe-S yet??

Files must be 32 KHz PCM wave files which can be a real pain when your are
resampling a bunch of files you want to beat match ... and they must be
saved to the SmartMedia named 01.WAV, 02.WAV, 03.WAV etc to be read.

It's a great little machine, but my other issues with it are your ability 
to
only use one effect at a time, you have to "split" a sample to the sample
pads to real-time stretch it, and it doesn't do odd-time signatures very
well, if at all.

I wish I could somehow get the features of the Yamaha SU700 and Korg
Electribe-S in the same form factor machine somewhere ...
