Connect the AW1600 to the computer using a USB cable,

Make sure that your computer meets the
following requirements.
• OS ........................ Windows XP Professional/Home
Edition SP1 or higher, or Mac
OSX 10.3 or higher.

No driver installation is necessary for WAV file trans-
fer. If it is the first time you have connected a USB
cable on a Windows machine, however, you may see a
message prompting you to install a USB MIDI driver.
Even if you will not send and receive MIDI messages
via the USB cable, install the USB MIDI driver as
described on page 209.

• If you selected “1–16” as the export-source, the current tracks
for all sixteen tracks will be exported automatically. It is not
possible to specify the virtual track number for each.
NOTE
• Characters that can be used in folder names are: the letters of
the alphabet, numbers, “.”, “-“, and “_”. Characters that can e
used in file names are: the capital letters of the alphabet,
numbers, and “_”.
NOTE
• Since the AW1600 does not have a concept of the real-world
date and time, dummy values will be written as the file cre-
ation date and time of the WAV files.
• Tracks that do not contain data in the specified region will not
be exported.
NOTE
Transferring WAV Files To and
From a Computer
• A USB 1.1 interface can also be used, but in that case file
transfer will occur at USB 1.1 speed.
NOTE
• Before turning the Storage mode on, make sure that no MIDI
data is being transferred via the USB connection from and to
your computer.
