Tascam DP-004 ユーザーズマニュアル

As described in “Partitions and songs” (page 47), 

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.
