Song management
The following operations are possible by directly access-
ing the data on the internal hard disk from a computer. For
detailed operating procedures refer to “Exporting WAV
files and importing audio CD or WAV files” on page 136.
•Specified audio data on the internal hard disk can be
directly edited from a computer using an appropriate
waveform editor application. The song will become
unplayable if you change the sampling frequency or
quantization of the audio data, but you can change the
length of the waveforms without problems.
•WAV files transferred from a computer to the “Transport”
folder can be imported to the AW1600 audio tracks or
pads as required, and specified regions of audio data
can be exported to the computer as WAV files which can
then be imported into computer-based DAW applica-
tions.
•The entire contents of the internal hard disk or individual
songs can be backed up to the computer.

Here’s how to edit the song name that is assigned when you create a new song.

1In the Work Navigate section, press the
[SONG] key.
The SONG screen will appear.
2Repeatedly press the [SONG] key or hold
down the [SONG] key and use the CURSOR
[ ]/[ ] keys to access the SETUP page.
3To edit the song name, move the cursor to
the NAME button and press the [ENTER]
key.
The TITLE EDIT popup window will appear, allowing
you to edit the song name.
4Input the new name. Then move the cursor
to the OK button and press the [ENTER]
key.
The new name will be applied, and the popup window
will close. (For details on inputting a name → p. 25)
•For 24-bit songs, the audio data contained in the “Audio” folders is
stored in 32-bit WAV format. If your waveform editor application
cannot handle 32-bit data, first export the WAV file(s) to the “Trans-
port” folder. WAV files imported or exported via the “Transport”
folder are automatically converted to 24-bit format that can be
edited using most waveform editor software.
• Song data is created in either the “Song1” or “Song2” folder. You
may have to check both of these folders to locate a specific song.
•To restore the sample library data to it’s initial factory state, restore
the sample library data from the supplied CD-ROM.
• If you initialize the AW1600 hard disk from your computer it will
become unreadable by the AW1600. Always use the UTILITY
screen D.IN • HDD page to initialize the AW1600 hard disk.
•The song folders also contain audio data for undo and redo opera-
tions that is not normally used. The undo/redo data can be deleted
by performing an Optimize operation (

p. 148).
