• If you press WRITE while you are in the Record page,
the sample in memory will be saved into the Sample
area of the card.
• If you press WRITE while you are in the Slice or
Extend page, the single sliced samples will be saved in
the Sample area of the card, and the MIDI Groove data
will be saved into the AUTOLOAD.SET folder of the
generic data area.
Note: When saving a MIDI Groove (".GRV" file), the file
name will be changed to an MS-DOS-compliant one.
Spaces and special characters (/, |, \, ?, >, <, etc.) will be
removed, and the name reduced to the 8.3 format (eight
character name, dot, GRV extension).

them using the Card Backup operation (see "Page 10 -
Card Backup" on page 17-17), or export a multisample
(see "Page 7 - Export KMP" on page 15-8). You cannot
delete single samples from a card
Note: Due to the slow writing speed of the Flash Card
technology, the Write operation may take some time,
depending on the sample size. (Reading, on the other side,
is very fast).
Note: When saving, a new multisample and Program is
automatically created, with the new sample assigned to
the C4 (Root Key), and transposed to the remaining
notes of the scale. Transposed notes play faster (higher
notes) or slower (lower notes) than the original sample.
