I received an answer to the autoload question from Sandro at Ketron. Select Sound Load (button on panel below screen)select sounds you want/create folder/then select folder & press save ...autoload will flash briefly... this will initialize an autoload when you turn on your SD1. When the SD1 is turned on, after OS is loaded you will see a screen asking you to ESCAPE autoload or EXECUTE autoload. If you do nothing it will start the autoload function(on its own) and the sounds you selected for your folder (you can name it what ever you want) will be loaded into the RAM area. To my surprise this is in the manual!!
I must thank DanO for forwarding my question to Sandro. Sandro replied very fast!! This really impressed me! I can tell you this does not happen with all companies!!
