Loading a WAV file into a track
(Importing a WAV file)
Here’s how a WAV file stored on CD-R/RW or MO
media or on an external hard disk can be loaded and
assigned to an audio track of the AW2816. For exam-
ple this provides a convenient way for audio data that
was edited using waveform editing software on your
computer to be returned to the AW2816, or to use
WAV files from a commercially-available CD-ROM in
an AW2816 song.
1
Press the [EDIT] key → [F4] key.
The EDIT screen/WavImport page will appear, in
which you can load WAV files.
2
Move the cursor to the DRIVE area in the
upper left of the display, and turn the
[DATA/JOG] dial to select the drive that
contains the WAV file. Also, insert media
into the load source drive.
Tip!
• If you are importing a WAV file from CD-R/RW
media, press the [SHIFT] key + [F2] (CD UNLOAD)
key to open the tray of the CD-RW drive, and insert
the media that contains the WAV file.
• It is also possible to load a WAV file from an
ISO9660 format CD-ROM or mixed mode CD-ROM
(data track). However, Macintosh (HFS) CD-ROMs
and CD Extra data sections are not supported.

Press the [ENTER] key.
The AW2816 will recognize the WAV files of the
media inserted in the drive, and will display the
files as follows.
1 File list
This area lists the WAV files stored on the
selected drive. The FILE column shows the file-
name, and the TOTAL column shows the length
of the WAV file. The TYPE column displays a
or symbol to indicate whether the WAV file is
monaural or stereo, and the number at the right
indicates the quantization (16/24 bit) of the file.
B PASTE TO
Select the track to which the WAV file will be
assigned.
C Specified point
Specify the location at which the WAV file will
be placed in the track.
D TYPE
Select whether the WAV file will be inserted into
the track (Insert) or overwritten (OverWrite).
Tip!
If the CD-RW drive is selected, the tray will close as
soon as you press the [ENTER] key, and the AW2816
will recognize the CD-R/RW media.
