6. Use the

DATA dial

to select the WAV file to be

imported and press

YES/ENTER

The display shows the amount of free space on the
current partition, and the size of the selected WAV
file.

NOTE

Make sure the target track is an empty track. You
cannot import a track unless the target track is empty.

7. Use the

DATA dial

to select the track into which the

WAV file will be imported. Press

YES/ENTER

Appropriate messages are shown if there is not
enough space, the file is in the wrong format, etc.

The unit reads the file from the FAT partition into the
track, with the start of the file at the “zero” position in the
song.

Once the file has been read into the track, it can be edited
(moved, copied, etc.) like any other recorded track. See
“About track editing” on page 47.

Exporting tracks

Any track can be exported as a mono, 16-bit 44.1kHz WAV
format file.

1. From the

screen, select and enter the

WAVE

menu.

2. Select the

EXPORT TRACK

action and press the

YES/ENTER

key.

The display shows a list of suggested file names,
based on the song tracks which contain audio:

NOTE

If a track does not contain audio, it does not appear in
this list.

3. Use the

DATA dial

or cursor (

) keys to highlight

a track, and rotate the

DATA

dial clockwise to mark

it for export. A “ ” appears on the check box.

Repeat this action to select multiple tracks to export.

To deselect a track, use the cursor (

) keys to

highlight and rotate the dial countercolckwise. The
check mark disappears.

When the cursor is by a track, you can press

SHIFT

and

to bring up a titling screen:

Edit the name, and press

YES/ENTER

when you’re

finished (“Titling” on page 11).

4. When all tracks for export have been selected, press

YES/ENTER

The display shows the free space on the FAT parti-
tion (the destination of the exported tracks) and the
space which the exported tracks will occupy.

5. Press

YES/ENTER

to export the selected tracks.

The tracks are exported with the names you entered
(a .WAV extension is added). If you already have
exported a track file with the same name as one you
have chosen, a message appears asking you if you
want to overwrite the older file.

6. Connect the unit to the computer and “open” the

recording media (““Open” and “Close”” on page 43).

7. Use the PC operating system to copy or move the

exported tracks from the

WAVE

directory of the unit

FAT partition to the PC.

Once the tracks are on the PC, you can “close” the unit.

The exported tracks on the PC can then be backed up to
CD-R, etc.
