Zoom ST-224 - Manual (Page 36)

You can delete a specific sample or all samples from the main memory. This is useful for example to
remove all preprogrammed samples or to remove unwanted samples in order to free up memory.
Also when all samples are erased, the preprogrammed samples of the ST-224 can be
restored by initializing the unit.
While the [PLAY/STOP] key is held down, the display shows the
currently selected sample number. Use the [-] [+] keys to change the
sample number.
When a selected sample is being erased, the indication "ErS-XX" (XX
is the sample number) is shown on the display. When all samples are
being erased, the indication "ErS-AL" is shown on the display.
After erasing is completed, the unit reverts to the normal play mode.
To cancel the erase process, press the [EXIT] key instead of the
[ERASE] key.
Take care that you do not erase a sample you wish to keep. If a
sample has not been transferred to the internal backup memory or
an external data card, an erased sample cannot be restored.
• Also when a specific sample is erased, the numbers of the other
samples do not change.
• Also when all samples are erased, the preprogrammed samples
of the ST-224 can be restored by initializing the unit.
