Copying and writing waveform data

If you have a computer equipped with a CD-R/RW drive,
you can use CD-R/RW discs to transfer waveform data
between multiple BR-1600CDs.

You can, for example, use these discs to copy waveform data
created with the audio software on your computer and then
paste the data to audio tracks. You can also take audio track
data recorded with the BR-1600CD and copy it to your
computer for editing.

Copying waveform data from a computer to

the audio tracks (WAV/AIFF Import)

1.

Using a PC, burn and finalize a CD-R/RW disc
containing the audio data that you want to import.

For instructions on how to write waveform data to CD-
R/RW discs, refer to your computer and CD-R/RW
drive owner’s manuals.

2.

Place the CD-R/RW disc containing the copied hard
disk data in the BR-1600CD’s CD-R/RW drive.

The drive’s access indicator will begin to flash. Wait until
this indicator stops flashing and turns off before
proceeding.

3.

Press [DATA SAVE/LOAD].

The Data CD screen will appear.

CD-R/RW disc will appear.

If the WAV files are collected in a folder, then the folder

name and icon (

) is displayed. To show the WAV

files within the folder, move the cursor to the folder
name and press [ENTER/YES].

6.

To switch the format of the wave file you want to
import, press [F1] (TYPE).

[F1] acts as a toggle, switching the file format between
WAV and AIFF each time it’s pressed.

This procedure requires a computer equipped with a
drive capable of writing to CD-R/RW discs.

If the current song contains newly recorded audio
data or newly modified settings, or if an import has
been carried out, the message “Save Current?” may
be displayed during this procedure.
If you want to save your song before starting the
import process, press [ENTER/YES]; if this will not
be necessary, press [EXIT/NO].
Remember that if you do not save a modified song
at this time, all newly recorded audio data, edited
settings, imported data, etc. will be lost.

To be eligible for import, waveform data must meet
the following criteria. In most cases, you will not be
able to import other kinds of data.

• Use “ISO 9660 Level 2, Mode 1” to write the data to

the CD-R/RW disc.

• Audio data must be of WAV or AIFF format, in

stereo or mono, and with an uncompressed bit
depth of 8 or 16 bits. Furthermore, the sampling rate
must be 44.1 kHz.

• Audio data must be at least 500 ms in length.

• Name waveform data using eight letters followed by

a less than three-character extension.

• The loop point settings within an AIFF file will be

ignored.
