Importing tracks

Before importing a track, first select the

partition with the song that you want to import

it into as the active partition. Then, load the

song that you want to import tracks into.
1 Connect this unit to a computer using

the USB cable (see “Connecting with a

computer” on page 71).

2 Use the computer to copy WAV files on

its drive to the WAVE directory in this

unit’s FAT partition.

3 Disconnect the unit from the computer

using the proper procedures and

then remove the USB cable (see

“Disconnecting” on page 72).

4 After this unit restarts automatically,

press the

key to open the

screen.

5 Turn the

DATA

wheel to select

IMPORT/

EXPORT

, and press the

(¥) key to open

the

IMPORT/EXPORT

menu.

6 Turn the

DATA

wheel to select

IMPORT

TRACK

, and press the

(¥) key.

WAV files on the FAT partition are shown.

NOTE

This unit cannot use WAV files that are a

•

sampling frequency other than 44.1 kHz.

Such files are not displayed even if they

have been imported.
If no files that can be imported are

on the FAT partition, a pop-up saying

“Import File Not Found” appears.

If the file name is short, spaces appear

•

after the file name on the FAT partition,

but those spaces are not included in the

actual file name.

7 Turn the

DATA

wheel to select the WAV

file that you want to import, and press

the

F2 (

)

key.

The amount of open space on the

currently active partition and the size

of the selected WAV file appear on the

display.

8 Turn the

DATA

wheel to select the track

that you want to import the WAV file to,

and press the

F4 (

EXEC

)

key.

Importing begins.

NOTE

If there is not enough open space or the

•

file format is wrong, an error message

appears.
The track that is the destination for the

•

import must be empty.
This unit reads the file from the FAT

partition, and imports it to the desig-

nated track. The beginning of the file is

set at the start of the song (00:00:00:00).

In the same way as other recording

tracks, you can edit the track that has

received the imported file (see “8-Editing

tracks” on page 58).

To import a stereo WAV file, an empty

•

track pair is necessary.

9 After importing completes, press

HOME

to return to the Home Screen.
