Recent Songs list is stored on the disk itself so the list will change if you use a
different disk.
File Names
By default, the BBR will name the audio files it creates as follows:
nnn-tt
.WAV
Where
nnn
is the song number (between 001 and 999) and
tt
is the track
number (between 01 and 24).
The track number is not shown on the main BBR user interface screen but
it’s used by the BBR to determine which file replays through which output
and will be vital in post production.
Renaming Songs
If you plug a PS2 keyboard into the BBR1 it is possible to rename Songs to
help find them more easily later on the BBR or in post production on a Digital
Audio Workstation (DAW). The keyboard connector on the BBR is a PS2 style
Mini DIN connector. This was chosen specifically to avoid getting it mixed up
with the USB connection for the Disk Drive – most PC or Electronics shops
will sell PS2 keyboards. It is possible to name Songs and tracks using the
menu buttons and data wheel (see page 27) but you’ll find it much quicker
using a standard 102 key PS2 keyboard
To rename a song: use “Ctrl-S” and then type in the name that you want. The
BBR will accept capital and lower case letters, spaces and all normal
characters that computers will accept in file names except the dash “-“ (any
illegal characters will be replaced with an underscore “_”). You can navigate
backwards and forwards using the left and right arrow keys and the delete
and backspace keys operate as you would expect. Finish by pressing “Enter”
on the keyboard. (Escape will cancel any changes). The resulting tracks will
be called
nnn-tt
.
