FILE FORMAT page

Use this to make file format settings.

File Mode

Set the mode for recording files.

MONO (default value): Each track is handled as a monophonic file.

POLY: Multiple tracks are handled as a single combined file.

Mono File Place

When the “File Mode” is set to “MONO”, set the folder where audio files are saved with the following buttons.

SubFolder button (default value): Audio files are saved in

subfolders created for each take within the folder.

Folder button: Audio files are saved directly in the folder.

NOTE

••

In both modes, a subfolder is created for each take inside the

 

folder, and management files are generated in these subfolders.

••

When Folder mode is selected, the maximum number of takes

 

that can be recorded in a single folder is greatly reduced from

 

normal. For this reason, when switching to Folder mode the

 

following pop-up window appears with a warning about the

 

reduced maximum limit to the number of takes.
