Take Numbers
Take numbers are integers between 01 and 99,999, with or without preceding zeros, which in-
crease by one each time a new fi le is recorded. Take numbers can be set with or without a take
separator, such as the character “-” or “T”. The take separator can be used to clearly identify
the take number within the fi le name. Take numbers are managed in the Setup Menu option
REC: TAKE NAME/NUMBER
. Take numbers can be incremented and decremented in the Take List.
If the 788T detects a take/fi le with the same name in the destination folder, a letter suffi x, starting
with “A” is added to the take/fi le name, before the extension.
To change take numbers:
1. Enter the Setup Menu and navigate to the Take Name/Number option.
2. Use the REWIND (<<) and FAST FORWARD (>>) soft keys to move among decimal places
and to jump to the single alphanumeric take spacer character. Use the PLAY key to reset the
take number to 1. Characters are entered from left to right and deleted from right to left.
Do not use the underscore (“_”) character as a take spacer. Since this character is used to designate mono
tracks when recording mono WAV fi les can cause confusion.
3. The Rotary Switch or the soft keys are used to choose characters/numbers. Press the soft
Check Mark (TONE) key or press in on the Rotary Switch to save the character and move to
the next position.
From the Setup Menu the action for take resetting is controlled by the following options:
• Never – take numbers do not reset
• When scene is changed – take resets when scene name is changed
• When daily folder is changed – takes reset on new day
• Either scene or daily– takes reset on either change
Take Number Incrementing/Decrementing
Take increments and decrements can be made in the Take List. To increment and decrement takes.
1. Press the HDD key to access the Take List.
2. Scroll to the top of the Take List and highlight the next take, which is indicated by the lett er n.
3. Press the soft Take +/- (Fast Forward) key to enter the Take Increment/Decrement screen.
4. Press the soft Take + (Fast Forward) key to increment or the Take - (Rewind) key to decrement
the take.
5. Press the soft Done (Play) key.
6. The name of the next take will be displayed on the top line indicated by the lett er n.
