13.5.5.3 REACTING TO IMPORT LIMITS
The answer is simple: Delete unused sounds from the sound library and don´t be afraid to do so!
Deleting a sound from the library will generate free space on the internal flash memory. This is real-
ized by tapping the trash can icon in the Importer (See section 13.5.1 Importer on page 158).
While the technical side is easy to solve, concerns about the loss of data might follow and need to
be addressed. In the following we will provide a few tips to dispel doubts.
13.5.5.4 DATA LOSS
By removing sounds from the library using the Import Tool, entries are removed and deleted from the
flash memory, but they are still accessible for reimport on the internal SD card or a USB device.
Acquired sounds from the Shop are downloaded on the internal SD Card prior to the import. This
part of the SD Card is hidden and not accessible using the File Manager. Downloads from the Shop
are listed in the Storage column of the Importer and moreover, are only accessible inside the Import
Tool. After deletion from the Import column, Shop sounds remain listed in the Storage column are
ready for reimport - parked on the SD Card. An exception is the Factory Reset. As opposed to the
data accessible via File Manager, a factory reset will delete shop downloads from SD and empty
the Storage column of the Importer. In this case you must carry out an additional step and down-
load the sounds from the Shop again. The embodiment of property rights of sounds excludes the
repurchase of sounds deleted from the device. This means, that they are always available for Down-
load after the login to the Shop application (see section13.6.3 Digital Property Rights on page 165).
Regarding the import of WAV samples, we recommend creating an “import” folder on the internal
SD Card using the File Manager and copy your sounds to the device before any import. This way
you have your sounds always available for import. Such files remain untouched by the Factory
Reset.
13.6 SHOP
The shop tool provides direct access to the GEWA Cloud, where you can download
additional sounds and samples purchased online in the Sound Store. Items purchased will
be unblocked and from then on are listed for download in Tools ➔ Shop and filed under
the sample categories they belong to (Drumkit, Artist Kit, Percussion etc.).
Before you can access the shop, you need to:
a. Register your product online so that your G9 can decrypt the downloaded files.
b. [paste store/shop/cloud link here]
c. Establish a Wi-Fi connection with an available network.
For information about the registration process please refer to [store website]. How to connect to
your local network is explained in section 12.4.2 Wi-Fi on page 128.
Once registered and connected via Wi-Fi, you are ready to communicate with the Cloud.
Note that the G9 Shop application enables you to only download your purchased sounds. To make
them available in your local sound library, sounds must be imported in a second step, utilizing the G9
Import tool (see 13.5 Import Tool on page 158).
