Memory Capacity
The
maximum
memory capacity
of the
MC-202
altogether (CH-1,
CH-2)
is
approx.
2600 steps.
This

ures
of 8th notes
in each measure can
be
entered.
A bar costs 1/3
step.

all the
memory
capacity is used
up,

longer possible.
(If
you
still
press
a
key, a
beep
will contin-
uously sound.)
If,
however,
you are
entering the data by
playing
the
keybaord, there is
no warning
signal
and
entering
more data will break
the whole
existing data, so
please be sure
to stop
entering
within 2600 steps.
Also, the
action
of the MC-202 may
be-
come
more
and more
sluggish as
the
data
is being
entered.
If
so,
please make sure
that the
mode
or
channel is
changed, be-
fore
going
to
the
next
