6.1.7 Recommendations
Due to the architecture of the SX-R4 and its operating software we suggest following recommendations:
Copy of Takes
It is strongly advised to copy (transfer) the Takes carried out by the SX-R4 to the hard disc of a computer.
The opposite is however not possible: the SX-R4 will not be able to read an audio file copied to its disc from a
computer.
Defragmentation
Never attempt to defragment the discs used by the SX-R4. For performance reasons, Recording the Takes is
carried out by interlacing the various files, which make it up. These files must remain interlaced so that the
playback of the Takes remains possible. In the event of too severe fragmentation of a disc, it should be re-
formatted (the fast formatting is enough).
Deleting files
Deleting a file is possible, but it must always be carried out by Take (suppression of the Take directory only).
The suppression of a project is completely possible too.
Formatting
The SX-R4 works only with the FAT32 file system. The setting of the clusters size can be left in the default
value.
