The maximum sampling time (size) for a single sample is approximately 180 minutes in stereo (2 GB). You’ll be able to store a larger number of samples if you use a high-capacity SDHC card.
The following table shows the approximate total sampling time of the samples that can be stored on one SD card.
Card capacity Stereo (mono) Card capacity Stereo (mono)
1 GB Approx. 90 min. (180 min.) 8 GB Approx. 720 min. (24 hours)
2 GB Approx. 180 min. (360 min.) 16 GB Approx. 24 hours (48 hours)
4 GB Approx. 360 min. (720 min.) 32 GB Approx. 48 hours (96 hours)
MEMO
Since the 1 GB SD card included with the SP-404A contains preload data, the available sampling time will
be less than the time above.
Remaining sampling time
1. When you press the [REMAIN] button, the display will indicate the remaining time.
MEMO: The indication shows the time available for sampling in stereo mode. The remaining time indication is an estimate.
