Usb Memory - Roland Fantom G6 Features Manual

The three types of memory shown are:
•
SAMPLE— shows you what's going on in sample RAM.
•
USER— shows you the amount of available storage space in internal
flash.
•

USB Memory—

shows you the amount of storage space available on
your USB stick.
Each type of memory appears as a bar graph, with relevant information
shown underneath:
The SAMPLE bar graph shows that there's 30 MB, or 94.3 percent, of sample RAM still
available. The text beneath it explains that you have 32 MB of sample RAM from the 32 MB of
factory memory with no extra DIMM memory installed. Beneath the USER and USB Memory
bar graphs are the sizes of each memory area.
How Much Space Do I Need?
Each minute of a stereo sample requires 10 MB of sample RAM and storage
space. A mono sample requires 5 MB per minute. The Fantom-G allows you
to check out the size of your samples before saving them. To learn the size
of:
•
any currently loaded sample—
area's SAMPLE button once or twice to display a list
of all of the current project's samples. The size of each
currently loaded sample is displayed to its right.
press the LIST/EDIT
If a sample's already been saved in the project, it has a little page icon
to its right. If it hasn't, it has the red checkmark that any edited-but-
not-saved item has in the Fantom-G. (Sample 0003 in the screenshot
above hasn't been written into the project yet.)
•
the entire contents of sample RAM—
display's Sample readout described above.
If space is tight in the memory area to which you're saving your
data, it's possible you'll have room for your samples, but not quite
enough for your song—if so, the Fantom-G will display a "Memory Full"
message.
USB Memory
What Kind of Memory Stick Works
The Fantom-G officially supports the use of the Roland M-UF1G
USB memory stick, which can hold 1 GB of data. Any standard
USB memory stick should work, though Roland obviously can't
guarantee that quality of other manufacturers' products.
