Any suggestions?There is no optional 256 memory card in my keyboard...
How could i get advantage of the sample compression capability?

Not possible.

You either need to reduce the file size of your data by cutting away samples and stretching the remaining samples more, or buy the memory expansion.

You cannot compress end user samples.

Txh Sharp...
So for the first option that you suggest ,,,should i do it from the media mode , deleting the most unnecessary samples?is it safe for the styles afterwards?

The only way to edit the samples is in the Sampler. You need to access the multisamples and remove specific samples from the multisample, then patch up the holes you made by stretching the remaining samples to cover those zones.

I've done this myself in the past. I reduced a 64MB sample library of many multisamples down to 32MB and it was hard to tell the difference between the two when the work was complete.

Takes a while, but it's possible once you have an area where you can load the data and work from.

Ok i see now...Is that also possible in a sampler like kontakt or exs 24 or only to pax3?

If you can load your data into some other sampler, then yes.

Anything that can edit multisamples can be used to reduce your data size.
