Hello
Elektron´s Octatrack has a compactflash card to store the samples.
Because big CF Card are expensive and do not have 200gb+ of storage i would like to replace the Compactflash Card with a IDE Harddisk.
It seems that Compactflash Cards use the IDE standard.
Would it possible to use a IDE to CF adapter (but the other way round) to connect a HDD to the Octatrack ?
Maybe with such a adapter: http://www.pcengines.ch/cflash.htm
I would need to create some sort of gender changer to connect the adapter to the CF slot of the Octatrack.

Check first if Electron give a max. size of CF card the unit can handle. This will most likely be the case, and is due to the file system implementation they are using. Chances are that larger hard drives will not work because of this, even if your adapter would do the job properly.

I wonder what to do with 200+ GB of samples in a live instrument anyways? Searching them would take a year if not two…

Unless of course it’s a sampled grand piano and the software takes care of it
