Optimizing the sample storage area
As samples are added and then deleted, the free space in memory 
can become fragmented, which may eventually make it impossible to 
add more samples.
You can make the sample storage area work better by optimizing the 
memory.

(OPTIMIZE) button.
A conrmation message appears.
