Re: SP initializes then no samples play

Today I formatted the FC and uploaded the V1.04 upgrade via USB cable. I then installed the 15 midi files. I am able to record a mic sample now to the C-J banks but when I turn the machine on the 16 A bank lights will not turn on. No Samples. What else can I try???

Re: SP initializes then no samples play

I received the 2G Roland flashcard today and formatted it. I can record mic to samples now but very weak and distorted. Tried onboard mic and condensor mic - same. Very pronounced hum.

Re: SP initializes then no samples play

I recorded with the mic and it played but i didn't know how to enter it into a sample. The power supply quit working around that time so now I have wait on the postman. Should I be able to record audio on an empty bank? Would that be REsampling and there is no sample to over-dub so I assumed it ...
