MEMO
5 Both the loaded samples (tones, drum instruments and vocal takes) and
recorded vocals (p. 37) use the same region of memory in this unit. As
there is only a certain amount of memory, you should delete any samples or
vocal takes you don’t need to free up memory (p. 39, 44).
Check the amount of memory used in “U.SmplUsage” on the MEMORY INFO
screen (p. 44).
5 When sampling, the free memory area used by the looper (p. 33) is used.
To make sure there is enough sampling time, delete unnecessary looper clips
(p. 20) and use the Looper Optimize function (p. 44).
Check the amount of memory used in “LooperUsage” on the MEMORY INFO
screen (p. 44).
