How long does it take the M3 to load samples at startup?

Post by Dimitrije001 »

Hi guys! I'm thinking about buying a used M3 for gigging purposes.
What I'm mostly interested is the sample loading time at startup. How long does it usually take for you?
Thanks!

With the standard 64mb of memory you can sample about 11 minutes in mono, half that in stereo. If the optional 256mb upgrade is installed you can sample about 46 minutes mono, 23 stereo.

There is no way to auto load your own samples. You have to reload manually each time you turn it on.

I don't have exact load times in front of me but load time is somewhat slow. If I remember correctly it's about 20 seconds to load 64mb of samples.
