Defragment (Defrag)
PresstheDefragsoftbuttontodefragmentthePC3K’ssamplememory.Becausethismaytakea
longtime,thePC3Kwillaskyoutoconfirmorcanceldefragmentation.Defragmentationcan
increasetheavailablesamplememorybyreclaimingandgroupingblocksofsamplememory
thathavebecome“fragmented”andtoosmallfor
