Precautions concerning the

loading of WAV/AIFF files

●The filename extension must be wav for WAV files, and
aif for AIFF files. The file cannot be recognized with any
other extension.
●Only files with 8 or 16 bit quantization are supported.
●Sample rate conversion is not performed. The data will
be loaded as if its sampling rate were 44.1 kHz. If you
load a file with a sample rate of anything other than 44.1
kHz, the playback pitch will be incorrect.
●The loop point settings within an AIFF file will be
ignored.
●If you attempt to load a WAV/AIFF file in a format that
the SP-505 does not support, an error message of
“Unsupported Format!” will appear, and it will not be
possible to load the file.
●Compressed WAV files or AIFF files cannot be loaded.
●Extremely short waveform data (less than approximately
70 ms) cannot be loaded.
