1Turn off the power of the PXR4, and remove the card. (→ p.12)

2Insert the card as described in the manual of your card reader.

3Back up the data onto your computer.

If data is copied to a card of a different size than the card on which the song was created, the Undo data may be lost.

Contents of the card

The root directory of the card may contain the following files and folders.

1.Song folders

The PXR4 manages each song as a separate folder. As a rule, the folder name will be the same as the song name, but if you create identically-named songs, the

folder name will consist of the song name plus a tilde (~) and numeral; e.g., “~1”, “~2.”

The folder will contain the audio data files for each

54

track, and a song management file.

When copying a song from a card to your computer, or when writing a previously-copied song back to the card, you must copy the entire folder.

If you modify or delete part of the files in a folder, it will no longer be possible to handle the song correctly.

If you change the name of a folder, the new folder name will be the song name. Although it is possible to use a tilde (~) in the file name, the tilde and subsequent characters will not be displayed in the song name.

2.Stereo MP2 songs (*.MP2)

Stereo MP2 songs created by the Bounce operation are generated as stereo-format MP2 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 2) files. By copying these files to your computer, you can listen to the songs on your computer, or distribute them.

If you are using a sound card that does not support a 32 kHz sampling rate, playback may not be possible.

3.Effect user file (1.EFF, 2.EFF)

These files are created when you create or save user effect data. The filenames are “1.EFF” and “2.EFF”.

4.Setting file (PXR4.INI)

A file containing settings is created with a name of “PXR4.INI”. This file contains the number of the song that is currently being edited on this card.

The presence or absence of this file will not affect the opera- tion of the PXR4. If this file does not exist, the first song will be used.

5.Card recovery results (CDRECVRY.LOG)
