Fostex PD204 owner manual How to set a file as Circle Take

Chapter 7: Creating and editing ALE files (EDIT EDL FILE menu)

<Note>: We recommend setting an audio file you want to add to an ALE file later as "Circle Take". When the file is set as "Circle Take", "@" is added to the beginning of the file name so that you can distinguish the file easier (see below for details).

<How to set a file as "Circle Take">

To set a file as “Circle Take”, press the [CIRCLE TAKE] key while a desired audio file is loaded. When the file is set as “Circle Take”, “@” is added to the beginning of the file name. Pressing the [CIRCLE TAKE] key again removes “@”.

“@” is not shown on the Home screen, however, you can see it on the file select screen. To bring up the file select screen, press the [FILE SEL] key. In the following screen example, “@” is added to the “Scene_003.wav” file which is currently loaded.

4)Select "<Entry all>" or any desired audio file, and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

If you select "<Entry all>" and press the [ENTER/YES] key, all audio file entries are shown on the screen (you can scroll through the list by rotating the [MENU] dial) .

If you select an individual audio file and press the [ENTER/YES] key, "Sel. next entry!" is shown and you can make another selection successively.

Note that the audio file entries added to the ALE file are omitted from the audio entry selection list.

After adding all desired files to the ALE file, press the [EXIT] key.

The display now shows the screen as below, on which you can check the entries. In the screen example below, audio file "001" is added.

5)After adding audio file entries, press the [EXIT] key.

The display returns to the screen for selecting an item for editing the ALE file.

6)Press the [EXIT] key again (or use the [MENU] dial to select "Save ALE file" and press the [ENTER/YES] key).

The display shows the screen for saving the ALE file, on which "Are you sure?" flashes.

7)Press the [ENTER/YES] key to save the ALE file.

8)Press the [EXIT] key to exit the EDIT EDL FILE menu.
