REC
TRACKS
,
FILE FORMAT
and
OPTIONS
. Touch the tabs at the
bottom of the screen to open the corresponding page.
REC TRACKS page
Touch the record arm buttons below the level meters to
arm the tracks that are to be recorded and disarm the
tracks that are not to be recorded.
When a track is armed for recording, the button
background appears red. (Default setting: no tracks
armed—buttons not red)
FILE FORMAT page
Use this to make file format settings.
File Mode
Set the mode for recording files.
MONO (default value): Each track is handled as a
monophonic file.
POLY: Multiple tracks are handled as a single combined
file.
Mono File Place
When the “File Mode” is set to “MONO”, set the folder
where audio files are saved with the following buttons.
SubFolder button (default value): Audio files are saved in
subfolders created for each take within the folder.
Folder button: Audio files are saved directly in the folder.
NOTE
In both modes, a subfolder is created for each take inside the •
folder, and management files are generated in these subfolders.
When Folder mode is selected, the maximum number of takes
•
that can be recorded in a single folder is greatly reduced from
normal. For this reason, when switching to Folder mode the
following pop-up window appears with a warning about the
reduced maximum limit to the number of takes.
