•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.

1 Call 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.

3 To save the song, move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key.

The song will be saved and the display will revert to the Song List (step 1). If you move the cursor to the CANCEL button (instead of the OK button) and press the [ENTER] key, the Save operation will be can- celled.

NOTE

•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.

HINT

•If necessary, you can change the name of the song before you save it (→ p. 169).

•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 AW2400.

•We recommend that you frequently save the song you are working on or enable the Auto Save function (→ p. 211) as a safeguard against data loss due to accidents such as the AW2400’s power cable being inadvertently disconnected.
