Here’s how to load an existing song from the hard disk.
1Call the Song List page by either pressing
the Work Navigate section [SONG] key as
many times as necessary, or by pressing
the [F1] key after pressing the [SONG] key.
The SONG screen Song List page will appear. The
currently selected song in the Song List will be high-
lighted (inverted).
2To change the order of the songs move the
cursor to the SORT box, use the [DATA/
JOG] dial to select the desired sort crite-
rion, and then press the [ENTER] key.
Using the SORT box songs can be sorted according to
the following criteria:
• NAME ........ Song names in alphabetical order.
• OLD ........... The order in which the songs were
saved, from newest to oldest.
• SIZE...........Song size, from largest to smallest.
3To load a song move the cursor to a loca-
tion outside the SORT box, and use the
[DATA/JOG] dial to select the song to be
loaded.
The line enclosed by the dotted frame indicates the
selected song.
4Move the cursor to the LOAD button in the
screen, and press the [ENTER] key.
A popup window will ask you whether you want to
save the current song.
5Move the cursor to either YES (if you want
to save the current song) or NO (if you do
not want to save the current song), and
press the [ENTER] key.
If you select “YES”, the song will be loaded after the
current song has been saved. If you select “NO”, the
song will be loaded and any changes to the current
song will be discarded.
The load operation can be aborted by moving the cur-
sor to the CANCEL button and pressing the [ENTER]
key.

have edited the mixer settings and need to save the song, you
must disable the protect setting and then save the song.

you save it (

• In the following situations, a popup window will ask whether
you want to save the current song; when you load an existing

when you shut-down the AW2400.
•We recommend that you frequently save the song you are
working on or enable the Auto Save function (

safeguard against data loss due to accidents such as the
AW2400’s power cable being inadvertently disconnected.
