Help loading Collections on FA06

Post by kellin »

So, Ive come to realize the sounds I loaded on my FA06 from the SD card aren't the ones I downloaded? Helps to read the directions.. but that being said, I still can't seem to load them.

1. Downloaded bin file
2. Copied to root of SD Card
3. Insert into FA06
4. Boot up while holding down the Preview button.
5. Supposed to show on the expansion list? Pressed Pad #1, still nothing shows up...

What am I doing wrong?

What you're doing wrong is using the SD card for that. You need a USB drive formatted as FAT32 instead.
Repeat everything you did, but connecting a USB stick to the port on the back in place of the SD card, and you'll be just fine.

EXP sounds are installed from a USB drive as ONJ said.
The other sounds from the Integra are loaded from the SD card.
Which are you trying to do.

Usage

1. Copy the downloaded file (EXP**.bin) to the root directory of the USB memory.

2. Plug the USB memory into USB FOR UPDATE connector.

3. While pressing the [PREVIEW] button, turn on the power.
Hold the [PREVIEW] button until the FA boots in Wave Update Mode.

4. The screen will display the file names corresponding to the pad numbers.
For example, if you only have EXP07.bin in your USB memory, you will see 01:EXP07.bin on the screen.
01 is pad number 1, 02 is pad number 2, and so on.

5. There are two wave expansion slots. First, press one of the pads to select the wave expansion data for slot 1.
For example, if you only have EXP07.bin in your USB memory, press pad 1 to select EXP07.bin.
If you have more than one EXP file, press the pad number that is displayed on the screen. 

6. When you press one of the pads, it will show the EXP name.
For example, [SLOT1] -> [EXP-07: Brass Collection]

7. The import procedure for slot 2 is the same as slot 1.
If you do not want to load anything to slot 2, press the [EXIT] button.

8. When the screen displays "Are you sure?", press the [ENTER] button to load the sounds.
If you would like to start over, press the [EXIT] button.
If you decide not to load any sounds, turn off the power.

9. When the FA-06/FA-08 is loading the sounds, "Writing..." will be displayed on the screen.
It will take approximately three minutes to load per slot.
When the FA-06/FA-08 is done loading the sounds, "Complete" will be displayed on the screen.

10. Reboot the FA-06/FA-08. 


The EXP series is PCM based. There are two ways to select the sounds.

- In the STUDIO SET PLAY screen, select the Category Lock icon and 
turn the dial to "UNLOCK" it. Next, change the TYPE to PCMS or PCMD,
and change the BANK to Ex**. You will now be able to select the
sounds in order from this screen.

- Press the category buttons and turn the dial to scroll through 
until you reach the Ex** banks. You can also press the category 
buttons and then press the [ENTER] button to show the TONE LIST.
