Track Recorder

Recorded files are automatically saved in the

Music

folder and named by

the system. The first recorded file is named

T00000.wav

, the next one

T00001.wav

and so on, up to

T99999.wav

. When reaching the file

T99999.wav

, the system selects the lowest gap in the file list between

T00000.wav

and

T99999.wav

for the next track.

Please note:

Since the number of files in the

Music

folder is limited to 64,

a user warning is generated if it is tried to record a 65th file.

As soon as a USB memory device is connected to the system, all

.wav

files meeting the name convention are verified. Files that cannot be played

as they do not meet the system requirements or have a corrupted file header

are hidden during track selection (see

chapter 5.16.5.1

When (re-)naming files, please consider that the channel label area can display

eight characters only.

5.16.1.3

Memory Formatting

Memory devices for use with the integrated jingle player and the track

recorder/player need to be formatted with the FAT32 file system. Some

popular formatting utilities will add information that is incompatible with

the embedded system of the USB recorder/player.

It is recommended to use the

Fat32Formatter

freeware tool for format-

ting your USB devices since it has been tested and is known to perform well.

It is available from here: http://tokiwa.qee.jp/EN/Fat32Formatter/
