Sampler operations
■ When you press a pad there is no sound, or the
wrong bank is heard
• Have you selected a bank to which the waveform is
assigned?
• A bank change may have been specified in the
SONG screen TEMPO MAP page.
■ The sound is not what you loaded, or the sound is
different depending on whether you are stopped or
playing
• If the playback mode is set to LOOP, the sound will
play according to the monitor tempo specified in the
SAMPLE screen SETUP page while the recorder is
stopped, and will play according to the song tempo
while the recorder is playing.
■ The sound you loaded only plays part of the way
• Have you made trim settings to shorten the Start–End
region?
• If the playback mode is set to GATE, the sample will
play only while you continue pressing the pad.
• If the playback mode is set to LOOP and Slice is
turned off, the sample will play only for the length of
a measure.
■ The display indicates MEMORY FULL, and you can't
sample or import
• Access the SAMPLE screen MEMORY page, and
check the amount of used memory. Execute ERASE or
EXTRACT to increase the amount of free memory.

Song operations
■ Can't save a file
• Is there sufficient space on the internal hard disk?

when you last turned off the power? *

down operation will shorten the lifespan of the hard
disk and CD-RW drive, may damage the hard disk and
CD-RW drive and disc, and may result in loss of data.
■ Song file size is unnaturally large

erase a track or other data, that sound file will remain
on the disk. Execute the Optimize command in the
SONG screen LIST page.

increase the available space.
