Help, Patches not loading correctly from mp3 files

I wouldn't use MP3 format, it's lossy data compression.

It worked fine in the past, just not loading properly

I use MP3 files all the time for many old keyboards. It’s much better quality than the original cassette tapes were. If you get “Good” but the sounds are not there, it must be a different problem. Is this a file of your own patches, or the original factory patches? Have you tried more than one file? Is it always the same “few” that do load okay?

From the original tape, it's worked fine in the past.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
