I’ve owned two Ramples, in most ways they’re great. But I find that the sample files become corrupted frequently and it’s maddening. I always turn off any gate signals to the Rample before I switch off case power, as I’ve learned from experience that can corrupt files. Yet still I find that every couple of weeks I’m reformatting my SD and installing my backup. I use the recommended SD formatting app and far as I know, I’m following best practices. Any suggestions? ---

Posting in this forum is like posting to a regional train modeling forum built in the days of BBS, populated by geriatric enthusiasts, half of the members are dead and the last post was in 2014. ---
