Tbh if you're just rocking all pad samples, you can cram A LOT of samples into that ram.... I mean it's a sampler.. not a tracker. It's not really meant for tracking... its meant for sampling. If you dont have and keygroups in memory and use the 16 levels buttons to transpose one shots you can get away with ramming a crap load into one project. 2gb of ram doesn't go far with 24bit pcm. If memory is a concern drop the bit rate... but then you lose clarity. I can only see this ending in club catasrophy..

Using the machine for what it was designed to do (‘nother convo because it fails at some of this too), 1 project uses the whole machine and it’s capabilities, is it’s strength, which is why it seems to be able to do alot.

Using/making it do things it’s not designed to do could end up in failure. People need to know this and purchase/use accordingly.

“Live” is just a name, like anything else.
