hi all.. we have still sample ram problem with new os.. i tried to load 1 mb msp to sd1 but sd1 used about 4 mb from ram for this file...i hope AJ will fix it very soon.regards necdet

I also installed 4.0b-- yes, it is still showing the memory usage more than 3 times the actual data size.

I do not see this as a 'problem' with OS.

I think no one of us knows exactly how samples are stored in the SD1. Realize the SD1 is NOT an 'ordinary' PC.
I expect the SD1 does a kind of conversion before putting it in memory. (e.g. WAV to ??-format)

The SD1 has NO ram-problem..... it's just a fact that will never change as long as Ketron uses this way of doing it.

Roel,

Everybody knows that SD1 is not an ordinary PC. But when you say "memory" (specially RAM) there is somewhat a common sense across all devices.

If SD1 converts wave files internally to its own format that is 4 times the original size but Yamaha 9000Pro doesn't do that, then SD1 memory management is poor, and that is a problem! And we should point that out. In that case designating 64MB to Yamaha 9000Pro and 16MB to SD1 is misleading. SD1 should be designated only 4MB of memory.

If the specification said that SD1 has only 4MB of RAM (or if there is a warning saying that SD1 internally uses 4 times the data size loaded into it), I would have definitely bought Yamaha 9000Pro instead of SD1.

Fortunately, AJ has already stated that there is a GUI problem in OS 4.0a where it displays the wrong amount of remaining memory, and SD1 doesn't use memory 4 times the size of the loaded files. AJ has also stated that the problem would be fixed in OS 4.0b. Necdet's post of this thread is regarding that issue.

I did not know about an earlier discussion and the fact that the wrong amount of left memory is displayed...... sorry.

I only use a few samples and the RAM amount for samples will not be an issue for me to switch to the 9kPRO. (not even if the pro would have 512 Mb )

Perhaps the next SD1 OS release is able to handle MP3 format ?!

AJ has also stated that the problem would be fixed in OS 4.0b. OK I INSTALLED OS 4.0B BUT PROBLEM IS STILL RUNNING.I QUES IT WILL BE FIXED WITH NEW OS 4.0C???
