Take Numbers
Take numbers are integers between
01
and
32000
, with or without preceding zeros, which increase
by one each time a new fi le is recorded. Take numbers can be set with or without a take separator,
such as the character “
-
” or “
T
”. Take numbers can be overridden and a new take number can be set
in the setup menu. If the 744T detects a fi le with a duplicate name in the destination folder, a letter
suffi x, starting with “
A
” is added to the fi le name, before the extension. Note that take number han-
dling can be selected to reset if set in the setup menu (see
File Management and Copying
).
To change take numbers:
1. Enter the user menu and navigate to the Take Name/Number option.
2. Use the REW (
<
) and FF (
>
) soft keys to move among decimal places and to jump to the single alpha-
numeric take spacer character. Use the PLAY key to reset the take number to 1. Characters are entered
from left to right and deleted from right to left.
3. The Rotary Switch or the soft keys are used to choose characters/numbers. Press the Controller or hit
the soft check key to save the character and move to the next position.

fi rst track recorded has “_1” appended to it. The fi le name suffi x, _1, _2, _3, and _4 always corre-
sponds to tracks A, B, C, and D. For instance, if track D is the only track recorded, it’s fi le name suffi x
will be _4.
Track Naming
Each track in a fi le, whether monophic or polyphonic fi les can be named with a unique track name.
These names appear in the Broadcast Wave Extension (BEXT) data as well as in the iXML data. Track
names are entered from the Setup Menu.

When the 744T detects that a duplicate fi le name is going to be generated in any specifi c folder, the
744T changes the fi le name by adding of a letter suffi x before the extension. For instance, if take
