Getting Around on the E4K

LISTENING TO THE DEMO SEQUENCES
SoundSprints are great for auditioning sounds and for solo playing, but for
live performance or multi-timbral sequencing it's usually better to load up an
entire
Bank
of presets. This gives you instant access to every preset in the
bank. This is also where RAM (memory) comes into play. The more RAM you
have in your E4K, the more sounds can be loaded at one time. The E4K
comes standard with 4 megabytes of RAM, but can be expanded all the way
up to 128 megabytes
(See the Appendix chapter of the operation manual for
details).

5. Select one of the demo banks using the cursor keys, your choice. Press
Load
to load the selected bank.
6. A dialog box will appear informing you that you are about to overwrite
the data in memory. Don't worry, this only erases the data in RAM. All
your sounds are safely stored on the internal hard disk. Press
Yes
(F6) to
load the bank.
7. A progress bar will appear, then you're back to the main screen.
