Button/Explanation
[F1] (RENUMBER) button
Packing user sample numbers forward (RENUMBER)
If you repeatedly import and delete user samples, the numbers will become
discontinuous.
This function lets you pack the user samples forward. The user sample
assignments for drum kits are also updated so that they will sound correctly.
If you execute RENUMBER, the user samples that are assigned to drum kits
will no longer be correctly reproduced if you load previously-saved backup
data (that does not include user samples).
* If you executed RENUMBER, and then load previously-saved backup data
or kit backup data (that does not include user samples), the user samples
assigned to the drum kit will no longer be correctly reproduced.
[F2] (OPTIMIZE) button
Optimizing the user sample area (OPTIMIZE)
If you repeatedly import and delete user samples, the user sample area
might become fragmented, reducing the number of user samples that can
be loaded.
This function optimizes the area so that user samples can be loaded.
NOTE
5 Be sure to back up before executing this (p. 39).
5 This process might take more than an hour in some cases (This will vary
depending on the number and size of the user samples).
5 Never turn off the power while this operation is in progress. If you do so,
the user samples might be lost.
5 In some cases, optimizing might not produce results.
[F3] (DELETE ALL) button
Deleting all user samples (DELETE ALL)
All user samples in the user memory are deleted.
NOTE
All user samples used in drum kits are also deleted. Pads to which a user
sample is assigned will no longer produce sound.

Select "OK" and press the [ENTER] button.
The selected function is executed.
