•
PAUSE (¥/π ) key and to set the divide position while
playing the track.
After dividing a file, two new files with ”_a” and ”_b”
•
added to the end of the original file name are created.
For example if the original filename is “DR-2d_0000.wav”
then the new files will be named “DR-2d_0000_a.wav”
(the recording before the division point) and “DR-2d_0000_
b.wav” (the recording after the division point).
MP3 files cannot be divided.
•
If the SD card has insufficient open space, division might
•
not be possible.
Division is not possible if the file name would become
•
more than 200 characters long.
Division is not possible if a file that already exists has the
•
same name as the name that would be given to a new file
created by division.
TIP
Add marks during recording at positions where you want to
divide a file.
