6.Use the DATA dial to select the WAV file to be imported and press YES/ENTER.

The display shows the amount of free space on the current partition, and the size of the selected WAV file.

NOTE

7.Use the DATA dial to select the track into which the WAV file will be imported. Press YES/ENTER.

Appropriate messages are shown if there is not enough space, the file is in the wrong format, etc.

The unit reads the file from the FAT partition into the track, with the start of the file at the “zero” position in the song.

Once the file has been read into the track, it can be edited (moved, copied, etc.) like any other recorded track. See “About track editing” on page 47.

Make sure the target track is an empty track. You cannot import a track unless the target track is empty.

Exporting tracks

Any track can be exported as a mono, 16-bit 44.1kHz WAV format file.

1.From the MENU screen, select and enter the WAVE menu.

2.Select the EXPORT TRACKaction and press the

YES/ENTER key.

The display shows a list of suggested file names, based on the song tracks which contain audio:

NOTE

If a track does not contain audio, it does not appear in this list.

3.Use the DATA dial or cursor (§,) keys to highlight a track, and rotate the DATA dial clockwise to mark it for export. A “” appears on the check box.

Repeat this action to select multiple tracks to export.

To deselect a track, use the cursor (§,) keys to highlight and rotate the dial countercolckwise. The check mark disappears.

When the cursor is by a track, you can press SHIFT and MENU to bring up a titling screen:

Edit the name, and press YES/ENTER when you’re finished (“Titling” on page 11).

4.When all tracks for export have been selected, press

YES/ENTER.

The display shows the free space on the FAT parti- tion (the destination of the exported tracks) and the space which the exported tracks will occupy.

5.Press YES/ENTER to export the selected tracks.

The tracks are exported with the names you entered (a .WAV extension is added). If you already have exported a track file with the same name as one you have chosen, a message appears asking you if you want to overwrite the older file.

6.Connect the unit to the computer and “open” the recording media (““Open” and “Close”” on page 43).

7.Use the PC operating system to copy or move the exported tracks from the WAVEdirectory of the unit

FAT partition to the PC.

Once the tracks are on the PC, you can “close” the unit.

The exported tracks on the PC can then be backed up to CD-R, etc.
