I see Rich. I was talking about this with my son on Skype about this last night. He has a Tascam DR-40X and that of course has an internal SD card. I asked him if he had ever tried it in his laptop to copy files. He has not, he simply links the recorder to laptop via USB and the former 'looks like' a Mass Storage Device and he can just dump off the audio as .wav files.This is different from what Samplitude is doing.
The Tascams have a somewhat unique way of recording. The SD card has two types different partitions, much as you could do on a computer to have an NTFS and a FAT32 partition on the same drive. The MTR partition holds all the native audio and effects settings in a special format. This partition is not readable by any computer. From the things I've read, they do this to handle data more efficiently than writing to FAT.
If you want to move audio to a computer, you must first load the project, then do an export to the FAT partition where is becomes a standard type audio file.. Your computer will now be able to read the file.
Further researching on the Tascam Forum, someone has swapped the cards between a DP006 and a DP-03SD and the songs did show up. Going from the DP-03 to the 006, the song showed up but only showed 4 tracks, which makes perfect sense since the DP006 is a 4 track machine.
