SAMPLES

QA Banks
Press the QA BANKS soft button to view the QA Bank Edit page. The QA Bank Edit page
allows you rename, move or delete user edited QA Banks.
To move or rename a single QA Bank, use the PREVIOUS/NEXT buttons or ALPHA
WHEEL to highlight a QA Bank in the list, then press the SAVE button to the left of the
display to view the Save dialog, which allows you to Save the bank to a different ID or
rename it.
To move or delete one or more QA Banks, use the PREVIOUS/NEXT buttons or ALPHA
WHEEL to highlight a QA Bank, then press the SELECT soft button to select each QA
Bank. Selected QA Banks are marked with an asterisk, and multiple QA Banks can be
selected at the same time. Press the MOVE soft button to move the selected QA Banks to a
different ID. Press the DELETE soft button to delete the selected QA Banks.
SAMPLES
Press the SAMPLES soft button to view the User Sample Memory page. This page is useful
for seeing how much user sample memory is available for loading WAVE/AIFF audio files
and user samples into the K2700's flash memory.
The Total available field allows you to monitor how much user sample space is available.
The Largest free chunk field shows you how much contiguous user sample space is available.
This represents the size of the largest single sample that can be loaded.
When some user sample memory has been used, it is represented on this page by solid white
squares. If you have loaded and deleted many samples, the page will likely show many groups
of white squares with empty spaces in between (known as fragmented memory).
Large user samples must be loaded into adjacent blocks of memory. If the memory has
become fragmented, you may be unable to load a large sample, even if there appears to be
enough available memory. For example, if the memory is fragmented and the Total Available
field shows 100 MB, you may not be able to load a 50 MB audio file (but you may be able to
load ten 10 MB audio files).
To clean up the user sample memory when it has become fragmented, you can back up all
user objects and samples to a USB device, delete all user objects and samples by performing
a hard reset, then reload the saved user objects and samples. For details see Store All on page
9-14, Hard Reset on page 9-39, and LOAD on page 9-15.
