Check Available Memory (Free Mem) - ION Electronic Drum Kit Owner's Manual

Background You may just want to load one Song from tape rather than all data. A Song being loaded from tape
will take its original position in memory (e.g., SONG 32 will reload back into SONG 32) and will overwrite any data
currently stored in that location.
7.10 PAGE 7: CHECK AVAILABLE MEMORY (FREE MEM)
When you select Page 7, the display will show the approximate amount of free memory
available (expressed as a percentage of the total amount).
Background It is important to check memory from time to time because the IDM01 always requires some free
memory for proper operation. If the available memory falls below 15% or so, immediately save the IDM01's data
as previously described in this chapter.
Some operations may not be possible even if a small amount of memory is left. This is because the IDM01
duplicates a Pattern before it is modified (length change, offset change, etc.). If you try to alter a Pattern that
takes up more memory than is available, the display will tell you that there is no more memory left.
Immediately save the IDM01's data, and determine whether you can erase any unwanted Patterns or Songs to
free up some memory.
