synthmania Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I am troubleshooting an issue on my sammichSID; basically I see that all the 24LC512 memory chips are installed; there are 5 of them. When using the SS, I can see bank A, B, C and D, but E, F and G give me the "no bank" message on display. I am curious how does the memory on the SS works, with these chips. Is each chip hosting a bank? In which case I should see banks A through E; but the last bank seems to be D. Do I have to initialize again the chips, or maybe some went bad? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00dawg Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Check this out, specifically: Five “BankStick” slots, so you can store 4 banks of 128 patches, plus 128 “Ensembles” (engine and patch configurations) So what you're seeing is correct - A through D are normal banks and G is the ensemble bank (and yep each chip equates to one bank). I can confirm this is how it's working on my sammichSID as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise-Generator Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Yes. Bank E F G is not present because they don't exist but it's software enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthmania Posted June 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Thanks! I was wondering why there was also a couple of banks that are not usable. And totally forgot about the bank reserved for the ensemble. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00dawg Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 All good. Enjoy your Sammich! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
