RC-300: ERROR - TOO BUSY and Versions 1.05/1.10
The Error Definition for the TOO BUSY ERROR is as follows:
The RC-300 could not process the data completely.
Possible causes and solutions are:
1. Lower the performance tempo.
2. WRITE/Save the current content to a phrase memory and WRITE/Save more often in work flow.
3. Reduce the number of adjustments or changes made with the RC-300’s knobs and pedals.
4. Reduce the number or size of MIDI messages transmitted to the RC-300.
5. Ensure that the phrase is not shorter than 1.5 seconds.
The best advice is to try and WRITE/SAVE more often, the system memory is limited.
Unfortunately live performance doesn't always allow for moments to WRITE/SAVE but you'll have to find moments when the RC-300 is stopped and you are able to WRITE.
Another possible work around is to advance to a different MEMORY VALUE/PATCH.
There are several parameters the RC-300 is computing and preserving (for example UNDO for each track).
Check your RC-300 SYSTEM PROGRAM VERSION.
How to tell the Version Please check the version of the system working on your RC-300 before downloading the archive file.
1. Adjust the MASTER [ LEVEL ] knob, TRACK [1] [2] [3] sliders and RHYTHM [ LEVEL ]knob to minimum.
2. Hold down the RHYTHM [ EDIT ] button and [ TAP TEMPO ] button and switch on the power.
The left display will show the current version number at "Ver"
3. Turn RC-300 OFF after checking the version.
Vers. 1.05 and 1.10 are identical Versions.
Vers 1.10 was made for internal documentation of hardware adjustments/changes and is unrelated to the System Firmware.
