About songs
On the AW16G, your recorded compositions are man-
aged in units called “songs.” When you save a song on
the hard disk, the audio data, the sample data used by
the quick loop sampler, scene memories, and the data for
each library are all stored together. By loading a saved
song, you can return it to the original condition at any
time.

You can store as many songs on the internal hard disk as
its capacity allows. Each song can occupy a maximum of
6.4 GB. The songs stored on the hard disk consist of a
setup area that stores various settings (fixed at approxi-
mately 4.3 MB) and a data area that stores the audio data
(the size of this will depend on the amount of data that
you recorded.
