Screen functions
A DRIVE
Select the internal CD-RW or an external SCSI
device (e.g., MO drive). Move the cursor to this
area, turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the
desired drive, and press the [ENTER] key to con-
firm your selection.
You can also import WAV files from a CD-ROM (ISO-
9660) or a mixed-mode CD-ROM (ISO-9660 data
tracks). However, the AW2816 does not support CD-R/
RW media that was recorded by packet writing, or CD-
ROMs of the Macintosh native file system (HFS).
B File list
This area lists the WAV files stored in the drive you
selected in (1). The row enclosed by the dotted
line indicates the WAV file currently selected for
importing.
The columns of the list display the following infor-
mation.
• FILE
This is the file name or directory name. “” icons
indicate WAV files, and “” icons indicate direc-
tories. You can move to the desired directory by
selecting the “” icon and pressing the [ENTER]
key.
• TOTAL
This indicates the playback time of the WAV file in
hours/minutes/milliseconds.
• TYPE
The “” symbol indicates a stereo WAV file, and
the “” symbol indicates a monaural WAV file.
The number at the right indicates the quantization
(bit number) of the WAV file.
The AW2816 can recognize only WAV files that have
the same sampling frequency as the current song, and
have a filename extension of “.WAV” following their
name. Other files will not be displayed in the list (
2
).
Tip!
When you have moved downward into another direc-
tory from the top directory (which is called the “root
directory”), the “ ” symbol indicates the current
directory, and the “ ” symbol indicates the next
higher directory. To go back upward in the directory
structure, move the cursor to the “ ” symbol
and press the [ENTER] key.
C DIR
This area displays “/” symbols and directory names
to indicate the current location of the directory
selected in the file list (2). For example if you are
in the root directory this area will show “/”, and if
you are in the next lowest directory named WAV,
this area will show “/WAV/”.
D PASTE TO
Here you can specify the track into which the
imported WAV file will be placed. Select the track
number in the “TR” numerical box, and the virtual
track number in the “V” numerical box. (You can
also select a virtual track that is not currently
assigned to a track.) The NAME area will show the
track name of the selected track.
If a stereo WAV file is selected in the file list (2),
two adjacent odd-numbered → even-numbered
tracks will be displayed.
