"Memory Full" - but I still have 2 empty pad banks!

[Moe Shinola]

I see from the manual that a maximum of 2 minutes of sampling time is all that can be stored in the 505. So all the samples I'm using are 16-bit mono, but It looks like I've still maxed out the internal memory. Is there a way to change the bit depth of the samples I've stored, or do I have to do it the hard way by taking the card out and exchanging 16-bit files for 8-bit files?

one way space gets used up is if you have samples (esp. the internal ones) sitting in the pitch bank or chop banks. so if you remove those you can usually get a bit more space.

and you can resample and reduce bit depth.

Cool thx!

I figured out the resampling, and now most of the samples in there are "mono-long". lo-fi sounded pretty bad so I didn't do that. I have one more open sample bank so I'll just convert the rest of the stuff in there to mono-long cuz it's giving me the memory full error msg again. I hope I'll still be able to use the Pitch and Chop banks even after I fill all the sample banks.
