Howdy, I've been using my blackbox for a while now and just started running into this issue after loading more samples onto the SD card.
I'm running firmware 3.0.9. I've tested with A1 and A2 SDcards and can replicate the issue on both. The A1 card is 32gb and I bought a new 128gb A2 card to test with, both exhibit the sample issues described below.
I've read several of the other posts about similar issues and I've tried several of the recommendations. Only a the first few milliseconds of the sample will load and the rest will get cutoff, sometimes a few more milliseconds of the sample will popup in the middle, This happens with both factory samples and samples I've loaded from my Splice library so I think we can rule out encoding issues. This seems to be related to how many samples are on the SD card in total, not how many pads I've loaded. I tested loading one longer sample from the SLAmbientDrones preset into a new preset on just one pad. With just factory samples on the SDcard everything works ok, when I add more files to the SDcard the factory sample will not load entirely. Sometimes it will eventually load, but it's not consistent. I deleted everything from the SDcard and just copied over the one SLAmbientDrone sample, loads just fine. I add more files to the SDcard, the sample only loads the first few milliseconds. I thought maybe my blackbox was the issues as I bought it secondhand, I ordered a new device and can replicate the issue with the new device that has a serial number 9000 units higher than my secondhand unit.
Is there a max library size I should be targeting? I wrote some code to better organize my Splice library for use on the blackbox and I'm frustrated samples won't load with larger library size on the sdcard. My Splice library is ~5gb.
Let me know if more details will help. Thanks!
