If
you wish to record longer samples than this, you will need
to erase some of the factory samples, or sample to a separate-
ly sold memory card (SmartMedia).
This means that you will be able to record samples totaling
only 12 seconds (for Hi-Fi) or 6 seconds (for stereo sam-
pling).
When shipped from the factory, the SP-202 contains eight
samples in bank A, with a total of approximately 20 seconds
of data.
Can't record a sample
• The currently-playing sound stops when I turn
effects on
O As shown in the table on page 19, when more than four
notes are requested simultaneously, one of the previous-
ly-playing sounds will be turned off before the effect is
turned on.
• Effects don't apply to reverse playback
O Effects cannot be used with reverse playback.
• Can't use any effects
O Effects cannot be used on stereo samples of banks
C/D.
O If you are using reverse playback, effects cannot be used
even on mono samples of bank A/B.
• Can't use Time Stretch or Delay
O
These effects cannot be used on a stereo sample.
O
These effects cannot be used on samples of banks
C/D,
even
if
they are mono samples.
O
These effects cannot be used if you are using reverse play-
back.
When effects are used on the SP-202, the polyphony (the
number of voices that can be played simultaneously) will
decrease because of the additional processing that is
required. As far as the available number of voices, using an
effect is equivalent to playing more notes simultaneously.
The table "Number of voices used" on page 19 will tell you
whether or not an effect can be used and the number of voic-
es that will be available.

Troubleshooting
After initialization has been completed, the SP-202 will be in
the same state as when the power has been turned on nor-
mally.
If the Power is turned off in the above situations, the display
will indicate "Err" the next time that the power is turned on,
then initialize the internal data automatically. (This
will
cause all internal data to be lost.)
• While loading data from a memory card (the REC but-
ton is
lit)
*
Also do not attempt to remove the card at this time.
• While the decimal points in the BPM display are blink-
ing
Never turn off the power in the following situations.
• While a sample is being deleted (the DEL button is
lit)
• While Truncate is being performed (the DEL button is
lit)
Various data necessary for operation of the SP-202 is kept in
internal flash memory. If the power is turned off while data
is being written to the flash memory, writing will not take
place correctry, and subsequent operation can be affected.
When the power is turned on, the BPM dis·
play
indicates
