LOADING PROJECT FAILED

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello my dear Maschine Community.

First of all: I have the latest and newest firmware and software on the M+, and also latest version of Sonoma, and latest versions of M2 and M3 desktop.

I have a really scary issue I need some help with. My new sd card won’t allow me to open projects created recently. I’ve been using the stock micro sd inside an adapter that came with the M+ when I bought it at the release of M+ and never had this issue before. However I thought it was time to upgrade it so I bought one of these:

Kingston Canvas Go Plus SDXC - 256GB / UHS-I U3 / V30 - Lagring | Webhallen

I started by formatting the SD card inside the M+ itself. After that I downloaded all my available content directly inside the M+ of course. After that I transferred loads and loads of really old soundpacks, one shots and loops and stuff, all in wav format. I’ve been playing around with the sounds and loops and everything works great, or so I thought.

All my old projects can be opened and they work, but I’ve tried to create 2 new projects and I get the same error message on M+ AND the same error on my m1 laptop. I’ve tried in both M2 desktop and M3 desktop. Same issue. I will post some images here and see if anyone can help me.

This is the info I get from the SD card. Exfat, 197gb available. ”Sharing and permissions” is a bit confusing, it says I have ”customized/partial access”. And created in 1970??!!

And what are these 3 files? They don’t exist in my copied backup folder, only on my new sd card:

Does anyone have any idea what this could be about? Please help me.

return the SD card to the shop you purchased it from… highlight the issues, provide the pictures as a reference & hope for the best… and ask them to replace it, or get a refund

the alternative is you keep the SD card… choices

i guess what im trying to say without saying it… is you may have a faulty sd card?

what are the chances?

ask chatgpt.. " are there reports of the Kingston Canvas Go Plus SDXC - 256GB having issues"

who knows what it will reveal

”There’s no widespread defect; it’s mostly reliable. A few users experienced device or reader-specific issues, so it’s wise to test it in your camera or reader early and be open to warranty replacement or trying another brand if problems persist.”

According to my new best friend ChatGPT.

“mostly reliable“ - is insufficient in my opinion (and reminds me a bit of the HHGTTG „mostly harmless“ statement about planet Earth).

Personally, I avoid Kingston memory and data storage products.

ok, but that doesn’t solve my issue. Does anyone know what to do? Is the sd card broken somehow or is it just something weird that’s happened? Anyone who knows what I can do about it or is the sd card surely ”broken”??

What is the file size of the Project files which cannot be opened?

Did you try to create and save more than the above mentioned two projects? Did you try to save other content like a Group or Sound?

Can you create new Projects/Groups/Sounds on the computer, copy them to the SD card and successfully open those?

i have an identical sd card which I haven’t used yet. I used disc utility to format it to fat32. I inserted it in the M+, telling me it was wrong format, so the M+ formated it for me. I put the sd card back to computer and when I watched info it again said that the volume was created in 1970, January 1st 01:00. Could it be that the formatting of M+ is doing something nasty?
