As described in “Partitions and songs” (page 45), SD cards formatted by this 

unit are divided into partitions. MTR partitions are for recording data while the 

FAT partition can be accessed with a personal computer. High-capacity cards 

can have multiple MTR partitions. In this case, you can use the MTR partitions 

for different songs, for example, or copy songs to a different MTR partitions to 

save their information. The FAT partition is FAT32 format and can be accessed 

by a computer connected to this unit by USB. This FAT partition is used to save 

songs and export stereo masters to computers, as well as to allow this unit 

to import audio files into songs, for example. For this reason, two steps are 

necessary to copy from a MTR partition and a computer. You can also format 

an entire card or individual partition as well as change the divisions between 

partitions (repartition) as necessary.

See “Selecting the active partition” on page 45 for how to change the 

This operation formats the entire card and allows you set MTR partition sizes 

for high-capacity cards.

The following table shows the FAT and MTR partition sizes for different 

SD card capacities. The FAT partition size is set automatically according 

to card capacity. The size of the MTR partition on cards 4 GB or smaller is 

also fixed, but cards that are 8 GB or larger have multiple MTR partitions 

and their sizes can be chosen. However, the last MTR partition is set to 

fill the remaining space on the card automatically, so its size cannot be 

chosen.
