File Management
The 702, like a computer, saves audio recordings to a file system containing files and folders.
The 702 formats its CompactFlash medium, and attached external drives as single drives named
“
702 CF
”and “
702 EXTHDD,
” respectively. All files generated by the 702 can be saved to the Root
Folder, a Daily Folder, or a Scene Folder.
Folder Actions
All files generated by the 702 can be saved to the Root directory, a Project Folder, a Daily (Roll)
Folder, or a Scene Folder (Files are saved to the Root directory by default). File organiza-
tion is managed in the Setup Menu option
FILE: FOLDER OPTIONS
. Folder choices include
TOP-LEVEL, MID-LEVEL, AND BOTTOM LEVEL FOLDERS
. Folders are created when the record key
is pressed. This reduces the likelihood of empty folders.
• Top-Level folder - is a root-level folder and can be set with a user-selected name. The Top-
Level folder can also be de-activated by selecting <
NONE
> from the Setup Menu. If the Top-
Level folder is not used then the next lower-level folder will reside at the drive’s root. If the
TOP-LEVEL
folder is active then the
MID-LEVEL
and
BOTTOM-LEVEL
folders will be its sub-
folders.
• Mid-Level /Daily folder - can be selected as a <
DAILY
> folder, a folder with a user-selected
name, or not used. If a
TOP-LEVEL
folder is in use, the
MID-LEVEL
folder will be a sub-folder of
the
TOP-LEVEL
folder. If no
TOP-LEVEL
folder is used the
MID-LEVEL
folder will reside at the
drive’s root. If set to <
DAILY
> a new folder will be created daily. When recording past midnight
the 702 will prompt to make to a new daily folder.
• Bottom-Level /Scene Folders - can be selected as a <
SCENE
> folder which will use the name
generated from
REC: SCENE NAME/NUMBER
Setup Menu, as a user-selected name, or not used
at all. If no upper-level folder is in use, the
BOTTOM-LEVEL
folder will reside at drive’s root. If
the
MID-LEVEL
and/or
TOP-LEVEL
are in use the
BOTTOM-LEVEL
folder will be a sub-folder.
Example: If a daily Folder is desired, set the
TOP-LEVEL
to
<NONE>
, the
MID-LEVEL
folder to
<DAILY>
, and the
BOTTOM-LEVEL
to
<NONE>
. This will generate a Daily Folder in the root di-
rectory with it’s files directly inside the folder.
