The Create New File function allows you to create an empty file in the current directory. The
following rules apply:
• When a file is created, the system uses the lowest numbered available index number. For
example, if index numbers 000, 001, 004 and 101 are currently in the directory, the system
assigns index number 002 to the new file.
• The new file’s attributes are based on three functions in the Machine Setup | Preferences
menu:
DEFAULT TIME: determines the default time code at which the file starts.
DEFAULT TRACKS: determines the default tracks that are armed when the file is
opened.
DEFAULT TITLE: determines the default prefix that the system uses. For example, if
you enter “MIX” as the default title, the system will create files with the name MIX_000,
MIX_001, etc., each time the “create file” function is used.
In Chapter 5, refer to the “Preferences” section for instructions on all file default functions.
Use the following steps to create a new file:
1. Navigate to the desired directory and File List in which you want to create a new file.
2. In the File List, press MENU.
3. On the File menu, select CREATE NEW FILE (item 5).
