Loading a WAV file
1. Press the [SETUP] key to enter the Setup mode.
The display shows the screen for selecting the Setup
menu.
2. Use the [JOG] dial to select "Load PGM" and press the
[ENTER/YES] key.
The display shows the screen for selecting the device
from which the data is loaded. "SCSI" flashes.
3. While "SCSI" is flashing, press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display shows the drive name and "DOS Format",
followed by the screen for selecting the WAV file to be
loaded, showing the WAV file name and size.
If no disk is inserted, "No SCSI Disk!" is shown.
4. Use the [JOG] dial to select the desired WAV file to be
loaded.
If more than one WAV file with different file names (the
first 6 characters) is saved, you can see each file name
(by the first 6 characters) in order when rotating the
[JOG] dial. You can also select "Eject" to remove the
backup disk.
<Note>
The VF-16 cannot recognize any other file names but
"******##.WAV" and cannot load such disks. A WAV file
with an unique name (the first 6 characters) is recognized
as an independent backup file and can be selected.
5. After selecting the desired WAV file, press the [ENTER/
YES] key.
The display shows the screen for selecting a track to be
loaded. "All" flashes initially.
Besides "All", you can select any one of tracks (01
through 24) by rotating the [JOG] dial.
6. After selecting the desired track(s), press the [ENTER/
YES] key.
The display shows the screen for selecting the load
destination program to which a WAV file is loaded.
You can select the program by using the [JOG] dial.
When the screen shows "Title" and "Size", the selected
program will be deleted and replaced with the WAV file
loaded.
When the screen shows "Title" and "New PGM", the WAV
file loaded will create a new program.
<Note>
If the current drive does not have enough available space
for loading the WAV file, the size indication on the screen
shows a negative value ("-***").
In such a case, select a program that can be replaced
with the WAV file loaded without causing the disk space
shortage, or delete unnecessary programs by the "Delete
PGM" menu in the SETUP mode.
7. After selecting the load destination program, press the
[ENTER/YES] key.
When selecting a new program as the load destination
(by selecting an option showing "Title" and "New PGM"),
the load operation immediately starts.
When selecting an existing program as the load
destination (by selecting an option showing "Title" and
"Size"), "Overwrite?" and "Sure?" appear. Pressing the
[ENTER/YES] key will start the load operation.
During the load operation, the screen shows something
like the one as below.
As the data load goes on, the remaining data size shown
on the screen counts down.
When the load operation is completed, "Completed!"
appears on the screen.
<Note>
The title of the program to which the WAV file is loaded
is replaced with the WAV file name loaded (the first 6
characters).
8. Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or the [STOP] key) repeatedly
until exiting the Setup mode.
To go back to the previous step or abort the
operation, you can also use the [EXIT/NO] key or
the [STOP] key.
<< Special loading method when using a computer >>
(*) Method to load specific tracks.
The backup disk in which files are saved will contain files from “******01.WAV” up to “******24.WAV.”
Should these files be deleted, moved from the root directory, for example, into a another folder or the
file name changed which cannot be acknowledged, this recorder will not recognize this file.
When a backup disk changed in this manner is loaded, only WAV files with file names “******##.WAV”
which are located in an acknowledgeable root directory can be loaded.
For example, if the “zero number of data” made at save is deleted from the backup disk and then load
is executed, only WAV files recorded with any other sound can be loaded.
(*) When loading WAV files saved in a multiple number of disks, they can be loaded by a special method
derived from the above method.
Assume that there is backup disc 1 saved with “******01.WAV” through “******12.WAV” and disc 2
saved with “******13.WAV” through “******24.WAV.”
First, when backup disk 1 is loaded, files in tracks 1-12 will be loaded. At this point, tracks 13-24 will not
be loaded and thus be non-recorded. Next, when backup disk 2 is loaded, files in tracks 1-12 remains
intact and tracks 13-24 only will be loaded.
< Note>
WAV files which can be saved/loaded by this recorder must have file names written as “******##.WAV.”
Other file names cannot be acknowledged by this recorder.
Unknown file names will not be acknowledged and could cause malfunction. Extreme care should be taken when
changing file names and making folders on a computer.
* The first six letters will be the title shown in the SETUP mode “Title Edit” display.
* The last two letters “##” represent each track number (1-24) of the WAV file which are to be saved/loaded.
* The last “WAV” is the extension which indicate that this is a WAV file.
* File name of the WAV file which is to be saved in the backup disk of this recorder will all be recorded in capital
letters. However, in certain computers, this WAV file name will be displayed in small letters.
(*) Method in loading by changing the track.
If the two letters “##” in file name “******##.WAV” in the backup disk are changed, it will be possible to
load them on this recorder on a track different from that at the initial save. For example, if a WAV file
named “ABCDEF01.WAV” on track 1 is changed to “ABCDEF03.WAV” this WAV file will be loaded on
track 3.
(*) Method in loading by changing the title.
If the 6 letters “******” in file name “******##.WAV” in the backup disk are changed, it will be possible
to load them on this recorder under a title different from that at the first save. Letters which can be
used at changing the file name in a computer are those only indicated below. All of these letters must
be one byte size.
Alphabets : A-Z and a-z
Numerals : 0-9
Symbols : !#$%&’()@‘_=
******01.WAV ******01.WAV
.........
Backup Disk 1
******01.WAV ******01.WAV
.........
Backup Disk 1
