Lexar has a pretty good reader that won't break the bank: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013TRZI2

Photo/video users may prefer a UDMA model that has more throughput but this one should work fine for Solaris users (actually that one technically does do faster speeds than most USB based ones anyway, I use it for my sdhc cards & my Canon 60D).

Of course, all editing of the data and folders on the CF card must be done on a computer. You must have a CF card reader to do this (some computers have this built in.) Any editing/copying/pasting/backup is all done on the computer.

I learned the hard way to always have two SRAM cards for my Andromeda. We should be able to easily back up presets to our computers, right?

I just returned from Office Depot with a new CF Card.
Never hurts to have a spare.
Chance favors a prepared mind...

I will try your suggestion right now.
I use a PC so that will be fine by me....

[quote="scope4live"]BTW, I love the way you can use the toggle wheel fully left to create a space. I never liked the tedious chore of searching for the space on other hardware synths. Having a fast way to create spaces is most appreciated....[/quote]

For Mac users, we also have a Preset name editor available (so you can type in the Preset name). Let me know once you get your Solaris if this of interest.

[quote="scope4live"]I am starting to make and save presets. Bank 0/1/2/3 are already occupied, but there are plenty of free spaces there.
Should I just go and get another card and begin making that the card I will use....?

Jimmy,
You don't need to get another card to make your own bank of presets - just download the INIT Preset object from the Forum here (under Data Files - Preset Files- New INIT Preset Update). Follow the instructions I posted.

You can fit 128 Banks on your card, no problem! So far, only 3 Banks are being used.
