PSR-2700 Digital Sampling s Editing Samples The following functions provide a range of useful sample editing capabilities. q Clearing Samples NOTES • If the sample data cannot be edited the following messages will appear on the LCD display: "No Wave Data" if there is no data in the pad; "Protected Voice" is the data is protected and cannot be edited by the PSR-2700.

"XXXXKByteFree" will then appear, indicating the amount of RAM remaining after the data has been processed. • When a sample pad is cleared, the mapping applied to that pad is also cleared and the default mapping will be restored.
