Clear all sounds

How do I clear all sounds from the AP-8

I have a 15 second clip that I want to run. It runs the the first clip then cycles through all of the rest of the blank clips. I need just the first clip only.

I have it directly connected to a switch for the trigger.

Set the 0-1-2 switches to on/closed and record with no input to the AP-8.  Be careful NOT to record past the end of the chip (greater than 60 seconds) unless you're going to record again; if you go past the end of no memory, no marker is left and that can cause the AP-8 processor to seem like it's hung; it is in a way because it's waiting for a marker that isn't there.

So... if you decide to clear out our test sounds (animals) make sure that you re-record your own audio before attempting to play.  Now, don't panic, you can always clear a "hung" AP-8 by cycling power (leave the power off for at least 10 or 15 seconds).  You just need to make sure that all your sounds are in place before you connect to a Prop-1 or -2 for automated audio.
