When you select a file to open as a voice data file in SY Manager, it checks to see that the file really contains valid voice data. If it doesn’t or there is anything else in the file you get the above error. Most commonly the error occurs when downloading patches to the PatchView window in SY Manager using the Get All button. This does as it says – it downloads everything your SY has to offer which includes multis, samples (SY99) and waveforms (SY99) in addition to voice data. So when you save the download and then attempt to re-open the file you get the above error. To avoid getting the corrupt file error message whilst downloading in PatchView: • Select the voice patches you want to download – click on the first voice, press and hold the shift key and then click on the last voice. • Press the Get button. • Confirm the download buffer only contains voice patches. • Press Save Buffer and choose a file name for the patches. • Open the file for editing etc.
