Thanks for the suggestion. I will try the reinitializing tip. Could I create patterns (sections of a song) and link them together as a work-around for memory limitation? I'm not sure if you can link patterns together that are not part of the same song though. I downloaded some classical arrangements that are much larger than what I'm trying to create, and I am puzzled by how such a huge file could be handled by the xp-50. Could it be that they are breaking the composition into smaller pieces?

I also used to have that problem. I would write songs that would contain 120-140 measures at a time. The buffer would definitely get full as just described. I had to save songs to disk and then intialize to reclaim space. Sometimes, the DATA THIN function works. Be warned however. The DATA THIN function may also not work id the data buffer is full as well.

Getting an XP60 helped alleviate this problem for the most part. The increased memory really helped. The fact that I write HUGE arrangements is why in fact.
