Verifying the Total SIMM Memory Capacity after Installation on a 9000PRO

The 9000PRO Owner's Manual, page 187, states that after installing SIMM memory, the 'REMAIN TIME' value in the 'SAMPLING/RECORDING' screen will match the total amount of memory (in seconds) on user-installed SIMMs. Actually, the 'REMAIN TIME' value displays the maximum amount of sample time (in seconds) available for a single Sample. Since the maximum amount of total sample time can be up to 772.7 seconds (64MB), and the maximum size of a single Sample can only be up to 380 seconds (32MB), the 'REMAIN TIME' value does not necessarily reflect the TOTAL available SIMM memory.

For an accurate determination of the total SIMM memory capacity after installation, the 9000PRO must be put into 'TEST' mode and then the SIMM Memory Check must be performed.

1) Press and hold down the [I] 'SONG' button and the [SONG PLAYER] button simultaneously then power ON the keyboard.

2) Press the [NEXT] button repeatedly until '007:SIMM Chk1' is displayed in the screen.

3) Press the [START/STOP] button. The screen will display the current total SIMM memory.

4) Power the keyboard OFF and then ON to return the keyboard to normal operation.
