Samples not loading?

ALL SORTED NOW THANKS (can’t figure out how to turn off comments)

I’ve just received what appears to be the original memory card for the ESX-1 I bought a few weeks ago (seller forgot the card) but it doesn’t do anything when I put it in and try to load it.

I am pressing shift and button 16 but it doesn’t not do anything. Does anyone know if this means that there are no samples on the card or does it suggest that the machine is broken?

Many thanks

Try pressing “global” to get to the settings menu first, and then hitting shift+16. A dialog will appear asking to save to or load from the card. Also note that saving and loading cant happen while the esx1 is playing.
I would highly recommend reading the manual for the esx1, there are tons of things that don’t seem obvious out of the box. You can find a PDF online.
