So I just got my Kasina and I downloaded some sessions onto my computer from the Library section on this forum. I then transferred (tried to anyway) files onto the micro sd card. It said copying files and then when the window closed I took the micro sd card out and put it back into my kasina but was unable to find the session that I tried to download. I also tried downloading it directly to the device. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and happy holidays! :)
Hello and Merry Christmas!
Did you unzip the sessions?
No I did not. That must be why. Sorry for being technologically impaired but how would I do that?
No problem. Just double-click on the file and choose "extract all". Pick a folder that's easy to find (like your desktop) and it will create a folder there with an .mp3 file inside that you can drag to your Kasina.
(I'm assuming you're on Windows. If you're on Mac, I'm sure the process is very similar.)
Write back if you're still getting stuck.
Ok so I extracted all from the session I downloaded and when I tried dragging the extracted file to the kasina it said "The disk is write protected. Remove the write protection or use another disk". Could this be due to the fact that my kasina wasn't new? I bought a new one but when I got it it had a max volume setting on it and plastic screen protector looked like it had been pulled off and put back on. Maybe the previous owner did something to the sd card? I'm fine with having a used device as long as it works properly as I don't really want to do a return and have to wait to use my kasina again. Or maybe it has nothing to do with the fact that it was used, just an idea. I don't even know what write protection is...Thanks for all the help. You guys have awesome customer service!
Ok, glad that you were able to extract the .mp3 files from the .zip archive.
There are 2 ways to get tracks or files onto the Kasina micro-SD card. You can leave the micro-SD card in the Kasina and use a usb cable to connect it to your computer. This is easiest, but is slow if transferring big files.
The other way is to remove the micro-SD card from the Kasina and put it into the included micro-SD to SD adapter, and insert that into you computer if it has an SD slot, or use an SD card reader if it doesn't.
If you're using the 2nd method, there is a switch on the side of the SD card adapter that sets it as protected from writing. Flip the switch the other way and you should be good to go.
Let me know how you make out.
I did the second method. All I had to do was change the switch! Thanks So much! I am now going to download a bunch of sessions.
Sorry to bother you again but if I bought and downloaded some hemi-sync would the process be pretty much the same?
Maybe have a little read up on Hemi-Sync first...

If you have questions about using Hemi-Sync with the MP products, ask in one of those threads (if applicable) or start a new one.
You can load any mp3 or wav file. Just keep in mind that HemiSync tracks wouldn't have light encoding. You could still use the Color Organ.
Ok. Thanks. I will read on those threads Andy posted to learn more about hemi-sync on mp products. Are there additional mindplace sessions available for purchase?
There are lots of AudioStrobe titles for sale here: http://www.mindplace.com/b/2983584011 SpectraStrobe sales are in the pipeline.
You know about the free sessions available here, right?Quote:

I like both of those sessions that come with the kasina and would be interested in owning all the songs on the cd but would rather just do a digital download. Thanks again guys!
We can't host digital files on our Amazon webstore right now and the encoding in other venues like the main Amazon site, iTunes and such likely wouldn't preserve the AudioStrobe signals. They have to be done at high bitrates with low compression. So, we (meaning me) have to roll our own solution. If you purchase the CDs we can give you access to download files I'm sure. It would save you the trouble. Just contact the support link at the bottom of this page after purchase or add notes when checking out (if you can do that, don't remember)
Ok cool. Thanks. By the way I followed you and mindplace on soundcloud. cool stuff! I like eco entrainment.
Thanks for checking me out on SoundCloud. Most of the stuff I have up there now is part of my ongoing quest to let go of perfectionism and just put out the things I create, even if they don't appeal to everyone or fit within a certain genre. It entertains me and I had fun making the songs, so that is all that matters.
haha I feel ya man. I do art and nothing is ever quite finished is it? And sorry Andy I didn't see your post until now, and yeah I know about the sessions on the forum. I downloaded a few of them. And neuroasis do you make some of the sessions for mindplace? Like the ones that come on the kasina?
Yeah, here is a listing of the sessions with the artist included. http://mindplacesupport.com/kasina-s...-descriptions/
