Before the SP-202 can use a newly purchased SmartMedia
card or a card which was used by another device, the card
must be formatted (initialized) by the SP-202.

Formatting a memory card
When you insert a memory card into the SP-202, the decimal
points of the BPM display will blink for a while, and the unit
will temporarily not accept button operations or MIDI mes-
sages. The same applies when the SP-202's power is turned
on with a memory card already inserted.

If you record long samples to card memory, the backup
area will be correspondingly decreased, but you can
increase the backup area by recording short samples.
(More backup areas)
In
addition to the 16 samples of banks C/D, a 2 Mbyte mem-
ory card (SmartMedia) can store (backup) up to 3 sets of
internal data, and a 4 Mbyte card can store up to 7 sets of
internal data in a backup area.
Once this portion is used as a backup area, the possible
sampling time will be correspondingly less. If you wish
to use long samples, either re-format the card or pur-
chase additional SmartMedia cards.

Inserting a memory card
Making sure that the memory card (SmartMedia) is oriented
correctly, insert it all the way into the slot.
For details on using SmartMedia, refer to the
SmartMedia owner's manual.
As memory cards, the SP-202 is able to use two types of
SmartMedia (S2M-5/54M-5) sold by Roland.
S2M-5: 2 Mbytes
S4M-5: 4 Mbytes
