2.3 SD Card Structure
The Micro SD Card is an integral part of Synth and must be inserted to
operate correctly. An alert message is displayed if Synth is powered up
without an SD Card installed. It is important that the correct format is
applied to the Micro SD Card. This should be FAT32 with Master Boot
Record (MBR) Partitioning.
The default le structure will expand as different functions are used.
Files and folders can be accessed with a PC or Mac. A USB SD Card
adapter is supplied with Synth.
Micro SD Can be connected to a PC / Mac
with the supplied USB adapter.
