Chapter 7: Creating and editing ALE files (EDIT EDL FILE menu)
You can edit an existing ALE file. The editing functions include:
• Editing an ALE file name and resave it.
• Remaking an ALE file after its audio file entry is edited.
• Deleting an unnecessary ALE file.
Editing an ALE file name
You can edit an existing ALE file name and resave the edited name.
The following example shows how to edit the "ALL-TAKE.ale" ALE file created in the op-
eration example described earlier.
2) Use the [MENU] dial to select the “EDIT EDL FILE” menu and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display now shows the ALE list for selecting a desired ALE file from among the
existing ALE files (in the ALE list example below, "ALL-TAKE.ale" is shown).
3) While "ALL-TAKE.ale" is highlighted, press the [ENTER/YES] key.
After showing "Please wait!", the display changes to show the screen for ALE file editing.
4) Use the [MENU] dial to select "Edit ALE name" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display now shows the screen for file name editing, on which the leftmost character
of the current name flashes.
Use the [ ]/[ ] keys to move the cursor position and use the [MENU] dial (or the
alphanumeric keys) to enter a desired character. By pressing the [CLEAR] key repeat-
edly when the cursor is pointing the leftmost character, you can clear the whole name.
The file extension (".ale") is automatically added to the name so you do not need to
enter it.
5) After completing editing the name, press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The new name is confirmed and the display returns to the screen on which you can
select an editing item.
6) Press the [EXIT] key repeatedly until you exit the EDIT EDL FILE menu.
Editing an ALE file
1) While the unit is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to light the [SHIFT] indicator, followed by the
[ENTER/YES] key.
