This operation will overwrite the internal memory;
use caution, and make sure that you are not over-
writing important data you want to keep
With the factory settings, memory protect is turned
on, so it will not be possible to load samples. Turn
memory protect off before you execute the Load
operation. ( p.83 "Memory Protect")
If the sample you are attempting to load exceeds
the remaining free space in memory, a message
of "MemFull" will appear, and you will be unable to
execute the Load operation. Delete unneeded
samples to increase the amount of free space, and
try the Load operation once again.
