Optimizing Samples

Samples that are not assigned to pads or any unused portion can be erased to free up memory in the main memory. This is called optimizing. The process can be applied to a specific sample or to all samples.

STEP 1

To optimize only a specific sample, hold down the [PLAY/STOP] key and use the [-] [+]

keys to select the sample number.

 

 

 

 

 

 

While the [PLAY/STOP] key is held down, the display shows the

STEP 2

To optimize the selected sample only, press the [OPTIMIZE] key. To optimize all samples,

hold down the [SPECIAL] key and press the [OPTIMIZE] key.

 

 

 

 

When a selected sample is being optimized, the indication "oPt-XX"

 

 

 

 

(XX is the sample number) is shown on the display. When all samples

OPTIMIZE or SPECIAL + OPTIMIZE

 

are being optimized, the indication "oPt-AL" is shown on the display.

STEP 3

Press the [OPTIMIZE] key again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After optimizing is completed, the unit reverts to the normal play

mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE

• When several waveforms out of a single sample are assigned to

 

 

 

 

pads, unused parts are not optimized.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If a sample has not been transferred to the internal backup memory or an external data card, it cannot be restored after optimizing.
