5 – Projects
Project organization
This unit manages audio files in projects. A CF card contains
project folders, and each project folder contains session folders
that hold audio files, which are called takes.
Project
Contains all the materials for one program or work
Session
A collection of materials within a project
Take
Materials recorded in a session
However, in timeline mode, instead of takes, recordings are
managed in units called regions.
CAUTION
The sampling frequency in a project is fixed.
File formats
This unit can record and play files with the following types of
formats.
File format
BWF
Sampling frequencies
44.1, 48, 47.952, 48.048, 88.2, 96 kHz
(47.952, 48.048: 48 kHz ±0.1% pull-down/pull-up)
Bit-length
16/24-bit
Number of tracks
4 tracks
File modes
Monophonic, polyphonic (monophonic mode is planned for a
future firmware version upgrade)
Monophonic and polyphonic modes
In monophonic mode, each track is recorded as an independent
monaural BWF file.
In polyphonic mode, multiple tracks are recorded together as a
single BWF file.
When transferring a file to an audio application that is
compatible with polyphonic files, multiple tracks can be
imported at once.
NOTE
In current version, monophonic mode cannot be selected. It will be set
automatically to polyphonic mode. Monophonic mode is planned for a
future firmware version upgrade.
Folders where files are saved in mono mode
In monophonic mode, files can be saved in one of two places
(folders).
 SubFolder mode
Subfolders are created for each take inside session folders,
and recorded audio files are saved in them.
 Session Root mode
Recorded audio files are saved directly inside the session
folder.
CAUTION
・ When Session Root mode is selected, the number of files created in the
session folder is large. For this reason, the maximum number of takes
that can be recorded in one session is greatly reduced. (See “Recording
operation limitations” on page 30.)
・ During recording, you can press the REC key to start recording a new
take. This function can be used 4 seconds after beginning recording in
Polyphonic and SubFolder modes, but in Session Root mode, you might
have to wait more than 4 seconds.
NOTE
・ The default setting is SubFolder .
・ Monophonic mode is planned for a future firmware version upgrade.
