• If you import a monaural WAV file, the same sample will be
assigned to the L and R channels.
• When you move the cursor to the LISTEN button and press
the [ENTER] key, there will be a slight interval of time before
you hear the sound, since the data is being read from CD.
• If the import destination already contains data, the existing
sample will be overwritten by the newly imported sample. Be
careful that you do not accidentally erase a sample that you
want to keep.
NOTE
• When you import from CD-DA, a name of “PAD_x_y” (x= pad
number, y= sample bank) will automatically be assigned to
the sample. You are free to change this name later (
→
p. 121).
• When you import a WAV file, the first eight characters (not
including the extension) of that filename will be assigned as
the name of the sample.
• The imported sample will be saved together with the current
song.
HINT
• It is not possible to import samples while the AW1600 is run-
ning.
