Operation
While the [PLAY/STOP] key is held down, the display shows the
currently selected sample number. Use the [-] [+] keys to change the
sample number.
When a selected sample is being optimized, the indication "oPt-XX"
(XX is the sample number) is shown on the display. When all samples
are being optimized, the indication "oPt-AL" is shown on the display.
After optimizing is completed, the unit reverts to the normal play
mode.
• When several waveforms out of a single sample are assigned to
pads, unused parts are not optimized.
• If a sample has not been transferred to the internal backup
memory or an external data card, it cannot be restored after
optimizing.
Samples that are not assigned to pads or any unused portion can be erased to free up memory in the main
memory. This is called optimizing. The process can be applied to a specific sample or to all samples.
