o Folder Name mode button
Use the folder name as the first half of the take name.
o Date/Time mode button
Use the date/time for the first half of the take name. (The
format is “yyyymmdd-hhmmss”.)
Example: If it was created at 3:10:20 PM on July 1,
2014, the first half of the take name will be
“20140701-151020”.
o Second half of take names
The second half of the take name is comprised of one
alphabetical letter and a three-digit number. Touch the
EDIT button to open the screen where you can change
the letter.
You can change the three-digit number with the +
and – buttons. You can also touch the numerical part to
highlight it in yellow and use the DATA dial to change
the number.
In the following cases, “---” appears and the value cannot
be changed.
o The current folder is not loaded.
o The selected card is unavailable
o When the numerical part of the file name of the
current take is 999
CAUTION
•
The Next Take Name setting is saved to the SC/CF card. If
you change cards, the setting on that card will be used.
(Even when using a card created on another HS series unit,
the setting will change when you change the folder.)
•
The numerical part of the second half of the take name can
be changed even during playback and recording.
(The first half of the take name and the letter in the second
