No Vox, no Farfisa--at wit's end!

Post by sourwookie »

So after years of dumping downloaded samples here and there, creating and storing my own organ settings, and storing voices in little pockets for "gig order" I decided it was time for a clean slate and do a factory restore. Which I did.

I downloaded this link from Clavia, opened my soundmanager, restored, and pointed it at the downloaded .neb file. After a prompt, everything seemed to upload just fine.

Pianos are there, B3's are there, as are some Mellotron samples that I don't believe were on this when I bought it several years ago (though many of them I had loaded on my own in the past). But when I go to a Vox or Farfisa patch--nothing except a low click on the Farfisa. What gives?

Make sure you have your machine has the most current code version, make sure that your Sound Manager 5.0 or later, download the restore file here (for an Electro 3):

Hi Castleif,

Are pianos working okay? How is your instrument connected? You might want to have a look at audio output routing settings in System Menu.

Also, performing RESTORE operation will do nothing for organs. Because they are modeled and not sampled, they reside in the OS and not in a BACKUP file. Reloading OS may be a good idea if the audio routing settings are normal.

Please feel free to contact me at work:
