HINT
• With the default settings of the AW1600, a maximum of 30
seconds can be recorded in a sound clip. If you continue
recording for longer than 30 seconds, the last 30 seconds of
your playing before you stopped recording will be recorded.
(However, the counter display during recording will continue
to advance.)
• In the UTILITY screen PREFER page, you can specify up to
180 seconds as the maximum length that can be recorded in
a sound clip. You are free to make this setting before creating
a new song, but this cannot be changed once the song has
been created. (
