The Events Þeld on the top line displays the number of events that you can store in RAM. 375 K 
in the above example represents maximum available memory with P/RAM installed. The 
maximum is 121 K without P/RAM. Note that this Þgure shows the number of free events, each 
of which takes up about four bytes of RAM. ThatÕs why the number you see here is typically 
about 25% of the free RAM (in kilobytes) you see in the Samples Þeld in the top line of the Disk-  
and Master-mode pages.
When the Song Status is REC READY or RECORDING, the Events Þeld changes to Used, and 
indicates the percentage of the recording buffer that you have Þlled, instead of the free event 
space.
