5 – FILE LIST
Explanation of folder structure
This unit manages audio files in audio folders.
Each SD/CF card has an "HS Files" folder that holds audio folders
that contain audio files (which are called "takes") in groups.
Folder structure
The folder structure is as shown below.
You can check the SD/CF card folder and file structure by
accessing it from a computer using a card reader, for example.
Be aware, however, if you change or erase files inside a folder,
or change any names, the unit might not be able to play the
contents of that folder.
NOTE
Other management files and folders are also created.
File names
The format used in naming files is as follows.
[Take name first half]-[letter][take number].wav
