    What you’re trying to do is not possible, because the SD card only holds the content part of the installations but no none of the other vital information. Thus the M+ has no idea all that content is already there.

    You have to use the installer.

    That is the way.

    attempting copy of contents of maschine+ sdcard (downloaded expansion packs), from og 64 gig to new 1tb that matches specifications


    tried copying expansions packs from pc too - maschine+ does not recognize these, tho files are present on the target media

    attempted verbatim copy of og 64gig sdcard data via linux ~


    sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 | gzip -9 > masc.dd.gz


    unmount, swap to target sd, then ~

    gzip -d masc.dd.gz - | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 ******=1M


    put target sd into windows machine, scanned for errors, ... no errors...


    ...maschine+ still does not recognize expansion packs even with verbatim partition copy



    is maschine+ locked down by unique sdcard id ? I suppose I can get hardware to try something like this as on github

    anybody get this worked out ?


    I leave a few breadcrumbs here in case somebody else stumbles along similar path
