7.Select the load-destination sample number. The pa- rameter display will show “LoadTo,” and the value display will show “(sample number in the ESX-1’s internal memory).” (You can press the SHIFT key to see the name of the sample.)

This operation will overwrite the internal memory; use caution, and make sure that you are not overwriting important data you want to keep

With the factory settings, memory protect is turned on, so it will not be possible to load samples. Turn memory protect off before you execute the Load operation. (☞ p.83 “Memory Protect”)

If the sample you are attempting to load exceeds the remaining free space in memory, a message of “MemFull” will appear, and you will be unable to execute the Load operation. Delete unneeded samples to increase the amount of free space, and try the Load operation once again.
