Importing from an audio CD/WAV file to a

pad

Here’s how you can import CD audio data (CD-DA) or a
WAV file from a CD-ROM/CD-R into a sample bank for
pads 1–4.
1Switch the internal settings of the AW16G to
enable digital recording.
For details on digital recording settings, refer to
page 160.
2Insert a CD into the CD-RW drive.
You can load audio data (CD-DA) or WAV files from
the following types of media.
●Audio data (CD-DA)
•Audio CD
• CD-Extra (only the first session of CD-DA)
• Mixed Mode CD (only CD-DA data of the sec-
ond and later tracks)
●WAV files
• ISO9660 Level 1 format CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-
RW*
• Mixed Mode CD
* The directory name and file name cannot use
characters other than uppercase alphanumeric
characters and the “_” (underscore) character. If
you use the AW16G to export WAV files onto CD-
R/RW media, the data will be in ISO9660 Level 1
format, but please be aware of this restriction if
you use a computer to create WAV files.
3In 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 CD
IMPORT page of the SAMPLE screen.
4Make sure that the cursor is located at the
READ CD INFO button, and press the
[ENTER] key.
The display will indicate “Read CD info...”, and the
AW16G will begin reading the CD that is inserted
in the CD-RW drive.
Depending on the source from which data is read,
the screen will change as follows.
