AW1600 Owner’s Manual
This section explains how to save the current song to the hard disk. If you accidentally turn off
the power of the AW1600 without saving the song, all recordings or operations that you per-
formed since last saving the song will be lost. You should make a habit of saving the song at
appropriate breaks in your work.
1In the Work Navigate section, repeatedly
press the [SONG] key or hold down the
[SONG] key and use the CURSOR [ ]/[ ]
keys to access the LIST page.
In this page you can select a song on the hard disk, and
load or delete it.
1List
This is a list of the songs saved on the hard disk. The
line enclosed by a dotted frame in the center of the list
is the song to which your operation you perform will
apply. The highlighted line is the song that is currently
loaded into the AW1600. (This is referred to as the
“current song.”)
BSORT field
Use these three buttons to select how the songs in the
list will be sorted. You can choose NAME (sort alpha-
betically), OLD (sort by date of saving), or SIZE (sort
by size).
CSAVE button
When you move the cursor to this button and press the
[ENTER] key, the current song will be saved.

A popup window will ask you to confirm that you
want to save the current song.
3To save the song, move the cursor to the
OK button and press the [ENTER] key.
If you move the cursor to the CANCEL button
(instead of the OK button) and press the [ENTER] key,
the Save operation will be cancelled.

• The song save operation always saves the current song,
regardless of the song that is selected in the list.
•You cannot save a song that is protected. If for example you
have edited the mixer settings and need to save the song, you
must disable the protect setting and then save the song.
(Making various settings for a song
→ p. 146)
NOTE
• If necessary, you can change the name of the song before
you save it (
→ p. 145).
• In the following situations, a popup window will ask whether
you want to save the current song; when you load an existing
song from the hard disk, when you create a new song, or
when you shut-down the AW1600.
• However, we recommend that you frequently save the song
you are working on, as a safeguard against accidents such as
the AW1600’s power cable being accidentally disconnected.
