− | '''Should I try to play a MIDI track with Zynthian as a multi instrument expander (different instruments on different channels)? If I have such a setup: how can I store it? I think this isn'n implemented yet, or not?'''
| + | === I just wrote my 16/32/64 GB SD card with a Zynthian image, but from Zynthian's console i only see a part of SD's total space and i've no free space left in the partition. How can i make available all the space on my SD Card? === |
| | | |
− | You can create such a setup using the channel list and configuring different presets on each channel. This will work with the next Engines: | + | After writing the Zynthian image in the SD card, you have to "expand" the partition to fill all the available space. |
| + | |
| + | Procedure: |
| + | |
| + | + login into Zynthian by SSH |
| + | + execute "df" command to see the size of your partition and the available space |
| + | + run "sudo raspi-config" and select the first option to expand your partition |
| + | + reboot Zynthian |
| + | + login again and execute "df" command to see size of your partition and the available space |
| + | |
| + | You should see the difference ;-) |
| + | |
| + | '''Important:''' If you don't expand your partition, you will have problems when updating zynthian software or library, as you will run out of space. |
| + | |
| + | '''UPDATE: From 2016-12-23, the Gorgona SD image solve this problem. Now, in the first boot, the partition size will be auto-expanded.''' |

| + | While using MOD-UI, the channel list doesn't appears, but you can setup a MIDI splitter/router inside Carla and configure different plugins/effects in each channel or create more complex setups. No limits (well, CPU ;-). |
| + | |
| + | Remember that currently you can only work with one engine at a time, but using MOD-UI you can load all the engines as plugins, so you create complex multi-engine setups. |

| + | The files dropped directly inside "gig" directory wont be shown. You must create some subfolder (category) inside the gig folder. The same is true for SFZs soundfonts. |
