WAV files imported into the AW1600 from a computer via the USB interface can be assigned to
the pads.
With the AW1600 connected to a computer via a USB
cable, copy the required file(s) from the computer’s hard
disk to the “Transport” folder in the AW1600. For details
see “Transferring WAV Files To and From a Computer” on
page 137.
1In the Quick Loop Sampler section, repeat-
edly press the [SAMPLE EDIT] key or hold
down the [SAMPLE EDIT] key and use the
CURSOR [ ]/[ ] keys to access the WAV
IMPORT page of the SAMPLE screen.
This page contains the following items.

will be imported.
D To BANK

AW1600 internal hard disk. WAV files stored in sub-
folders within the Transport folder can also be used.
For details see “Transferring WAV Files To and From

A popup window will appear, asking you to confirm
the operation.

•Only 16-bit or 24-bit, 44.1 kHz, mono or stereo WAV files can
be imported. Also, WAV files having a different bit depth from
the song cannot be imported.
NOTE
•The imported sample will be assigned the same name as the
WAV file from which the data was imported. You are free to
edit this name later (
→
p. 121).
• The imported sample will be saved together with the current
song.
HINT
•A total of up to approximately 47 seconds (approximately 29
seconds in 24-bit songs) of samples can be imported into the
Quick Loop Sampler. If you specify a WAV file that exceeds
this amount, an error message will be displayed, and the
import operation cannot be executed.
•If you import once again into the same pad and sample bank,
that sample will be overwritten by the newly imported data. If
you want to keep the previously-imported sample, you must
import the new data into a different pad or sample bank.
• It is not possible to import samples while the AW1600 is run-
ning.
