Description
Processing is not possible because the SD card was removed.
* Don't remove the card while the power is on.
The SD card is locked. The SP-404SX will be unable to function properly if the SD card is locked. ("L o C" will appear in the
display.) Make sure that the SD card is not locked (p. 10).
There is no sample, pattern, or backup data to delete.
There is no backup data to load.
There is no WAV or AIFF to import.
Invalid data was found, and it was repaired or deleted.
Processing could not be performed because of insufficient memory.
While sampling, the sample exceeded 2 GB (approximately 180 minutes for stereo). Sampling was stopped.
Processing could not be performed because Protect is enabled.
If you want to continue the operation, turn off Protect as described in "About the Protect Function" (p. 38).
Processing was halted because the WAV or AIFF was in a format not supported by the SP-404SX.
