I had banks of really important nord rack2 patches and performances on my pcmcia card. I was working out some stuff on another synth to go with the nord patches. I go to power up the nord, and my pcmcia card had been ejected and sitting there for a week or more unplugged.
I plug it in and go to load my patches, and they were all gone. There were what i think came with the card, files for some other synth. The nord can read them and i tweak them to useable files...but anyway,
Is there any way to recover the lost files? And why did it lose them in the first place?

Re: Pcmcia card data loss
Maybe the nord is the problem....almost all of my card’s banks are now the same exact sound

Re: Pcmcia card data loss
Does that card require a battery? Maybe worth checking if it's any good.

Re: Pcmcia card data loss
If all the sounds are the same that is a definite sign of data loss due to power loss/low battery. A test would be to edit one sound on the card and let it sit out for a few days. If the battery is removeable you should be able to put a battery tester on it.
I remember I had PCMCIA cards for my D50 and the batteries did not last forever.

Re: Pcmcia card data loss
Yep, stupid me and a $6 battery. There is only one patch that was irreplaceable, now i have to tweak for months to get it back. Did not even record it. It started out Amon Tobin Supermodified-ish, had BOC devil in the details lfo delay, ended with Autechre LP7/ Aphex bouncing ball goodness. Pretty angry about losing that one particular patch.
But yeah, it was all about a dead battery. And my pc has no pcmcia slot.

Re: Pcmcia card data loss
When life hands you lemons - maybe you'll end up with a better version of your patch
Good luck.
