8. RAM Test
RAM is an acronym for Random Access Memory. RAM is used to store
presets and samples in the ESI's bank. There is also another block of
RAM used by the ESI's main computer. This function allows you to test
the memory by first filling it with numbers and then reading them back.
A RAM test should always be performed after you have updated the
amount of sample memory in your ESI. The test will verify if the new
RAM is working and has been correctly installed.
1. Activate Master/Global module.
2. Select Special (8), Ram Test (8). The following screen will appear.

Caution: Dangerous voltages are present
inside the ESI enclosure. Consult your local
