Title: Expansion Memory
Post by: MusicMan on January 15, 2020, 12:12:37 AM: Hi

Can the user memory or the USB21 memory be used to story Expansions. My 3gb is running out of room.

Thank You

Styles go in the User memory so can be transferred to USB.

I understood that the 2.x firmware update expands the 3GB to 6GB, but my brain started working before the end of WW2, so could be some "wires crossed" in the interim! ;D

I think 2.x increased the amount of expansion memory from about 1.8 to 3 GB. I think I read this was possible by reducing the amount of internal reserved space for Audio drum styles.

Well i haven't heard any other explanation for the almost doubling of memory other than a substantial increase in the compression of the voice samples.
