Exchanging Sample Pad Assignments; Checking The Remaining Sampling Time - Roland SP-404 Owner's Manual

Chapter 3. Sampling
Exchanging Sample Pad
Assignments
You can change the pad to which a sample is assigned by
exchanging samples between two pads.
You can also exchange assignments between a pad to which a
sample is assigned and a pad to which no sample is assigned.
1.
Make sure that [PATTERN SELECT] is not lighted.
If it's lit, press [PATTERN SELECT] to switch it off.
2.
Hold down [DEL] and press [REC].
"CHG" appears in the display and [DEL] and [REC] both light.
Pads to which samples are assigned start blinking.
3.
Use the bank buttons and the pads to select one of the
samples that you want to exchange.
The pad you pressed changes from blinking to lit.
4.
Use the bank buttons and the pads to select the other
sample you want to exchange.
The pad you pressed lights, and [REC] starts blinking.
Except for the two pads you pressed, all other pads go out.
If you decide to cancel the exchange operation, press
[CANCEL].
5.
Press [REC].
[DEL] and [REC] both light, and the dot in the display starts
blinking.
The pads being exchanged light.
When the exchange is complete, the dot goes dark.
When exchanging samples between internal memory and a
memory card, "FuL" appears in the display if there is not
enough space in internal memory and the memory card, and
the exchange will not be possible.
Never turn off the power while the dot in the display is
blinking. Doing so may destroy not only the samples being
exchanged, but also the entire contents of internal memory and
the memory card.

Checking the Remaining
Sampling Time
1.
Make sure that [PATTERN SELECT] is not lighted.
If it's lit, press [PATTERN SELECT] to switch it off.
2.
Choose the memory for which you want to check the
remaining time.
If you want to check the remaining time for internal memory,
press BANK [A] or [B] so it's lit.
If you want to check the remaining time for a memory card,
press one of the BANK [C/G]–[F/J] buttons so it's lit.
The result is the same whether you press BANK [A] or [B] (or
any button of BANK [B/G]–[F/J]).

Press [REMAIN].
The display shows the remaining time available for sampling at
the "STANDARD" "monaural" setting.
minute
There will be a small amount of inaccuracy in the remaining
time indication.
When viewing the remaining time on a memory card, the
method of displaying the minutes and seconds will depend on
the amount of remaining time. If the remaining time is greater
than ten minutes, only the number of seconds in the ten's place
and higher will be displayed.

If the remaining time is greater than one hundred minutes, the
number of seconds will not be displayed; only the "minutes"
will be shown.
