∙Press the appropriate SEL key to choose the desired Track index into which the track will be loaded.

∙Press STO [YES] to load the displayed track from the list into the currently selected Track index.

∙Use the arrows or wheel to scroll to a different track from the list of available tracks in the project.

∙To facilitate loading tracks in succession, the MMR will automatically increment the selected Track index and advance the display to the next track in the list of available tracks after a track is loaded.

After pressing the LOAD TRACK key twice, the first Track name will be displayed in the bottom line of the LCD preceded by a small box (the STOP character) in the first character of the display to indicate the track has not been loaded yet (it is “unloaded”). To load tracks individually in succession starting with Track 1, first press the Track 1 SEL key. The LED on Track 1 will be lit to indicate that when STO is pressed the displayed track will load onto track 1. After track 1 is loaded, the next track name in the list will automatically display, and the LED on track 2 will turn on to indicate pressing STO will store that track onto track 2. Any target track may be selected manually by pressing the appropriate SEL key before STO is pressed. Typically, a hard drive will contain eight or more tracks for one project, and thus tracks can be loaded in rapid sequence by simply pressing STO eight times in a row. After a track is loaded, the track index number into which the sound file has been loaded will precede the track name.
