Troubleshooting
What common on-screen messages mean and what to try next.
Projects and storage
| Message | What it means | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| Storage full | Aggregate free space is exhausted | Delete a project you no longer need, or check Storage Info |
| Fragmented - compact it | Free space exists but is split into holes too small for the save | Run Compact Storage from Storage Info (Internal side menu) |
| Directory full | The project list cannot grow further on this storage volume | Delete unused projects, or free space via Storage Info |
| Save failed | The S32 could not write your project | Try Save Project again; if it keeps failing, check Storage Info. After a failed New Project, Save Project still writes the project you were on, not the unsaved Empty or DAW Defaults set. A failed Rename of a microSD project leaves that card file in place |
| Project needs older firmware first / Project needs newer firmware (at boot) | The last project cannot be opened on this firmware | Save Project does not overwrite that slot. Install matching firmware to open it, or save the empty set as a new project |
| Load failed - project reset | The other project did not finish loading | If the knobs went blank and no project has a checkmark, Save Project will not overwrite the project you were on — including a project on the microSD card. Load it again from Library, or use Save As for the empty set. If the knobs still show the previous project, that project is still in memory, including its snapshots. |
| Unsaved changes | You edited the current project but have not saved | Save Project, discard, or cancel before switching away |
Racks and devices
| Message | What it means | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| This rack is full (10 devices max) | The chain already has ten devices | Remove a device, or start a second rack in the same project |
| Device dimmed in the picker | That type cannot be added right now | The rack may be full, or you already have the maximum of that device type — see Rack chains |
| Not enough memory | The S32 cannot duplicate or add this chain right now | Remove devices or use a simpler chain, then try again |
