cacibi Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Not being versed on Micro SD cards (types, formats, what the numbers on the front mean, if they are made by Keebler elves...etc), I have this to work with from the manual: Quote Helix Stadium can utilize a microSD card with a minimum capacity of 32 GB, HC type, and U1 speed class (or higher). I have two Micro SD cards at hand, photos attached, which are both XC but my pal...Google...says that XC cards should be backward compatible with HC. I am assuming that, as long as I am able to successfully format a card in Maintenance Mode....it is good to go and that the worst that happens if you were to insert an incompatible card is a polite message?

silverhead Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Be aware that the Stadium device ships with a microSD card already installed. Is that not working? Is this a rhetorical question or are you actually having a problem with your own cards? Have you been able to format them using Stadium? If so, have you tried using them?

I am aware that it ships with a card but, if you are going to start utilizing the Showcase feature to import multiple tracks per song for a good number of songs, 32GB is not going to last very long. Then you start adding in loops, preset clips, samples or whatever else it will hold in future firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacibi Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Also, my original unit is on the way back to L6 after going into an unrecoverable state while trying to import Showcase files via the Stadium App. I guess you would say I have an abundance of caution about trying this again on a non-OEM card. So, non-rhetorical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found some information concerning having a SD Card reader to attach to my computer for the purpose of copying the folder/file structure of the 32GB to another SD Card. I am awaiting delivery of different size SD Cards and a reader just for this testing purpose. So, don't take this as fact until I can report back. I've set this post to be followed by me. Once I get the parts AND have some time I can report back though it may be a few weeks as I have some new studies and some darn home & motorcycle repairs to deal with. Glad I have the life to have a life! ;-) jpd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
