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
In timeline mode, however, there are no 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 formats
BWF, WAV*
*This unit cannot record in WAV format, but it can play back
WAV files.
Sampling frequencies
44.1/48/47.952/48.048/88.2/96kHz
(47.952/48.048:48kHz±0.1% pull-down/pull-up)
Number of tracks
1-4 tracks (Take Mode)
2-4 tracks (Timeline Mode)
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.
CAUTION
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 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 35.)
• 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 inSession 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.
