audio file in the INSERT mode - Fostex

Creating a new audio file
Regardless of whether a disk is formatted in the Normal or Tape mode, you can newly create only
a "Normal mode" audio file by using the file select function.
To record to an audio file created by the file select function, use the INSERT mode.
• Creating a new file on a disk just after formatted in the Normal mode
In the following procedure, we assume that a disk just after formatted is loaded and the
display shows "No Audio Files!".
1. Select a desired audio file format between "BWF" and "SDII" using the [AUDIO FILE] switch.
2. Select a desired track mode using the [TR MODE] switch.
3. Select a desired sampling frequency/bit length combination using the [SAMPLING FREQ] switch.
4. Press the [FILE SEL] key.
"New FIle?" appears with flashing "01", showing that audio file "01" is newly created.

5. Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
Audio file "01" is created and the display shows the tentative file name, as well as the "ABS 0" time (the
beginning of the file). The tentative name begins by "S" or "B" which shows the file format ("S" for "SDII"
and "B" for "BWF") selected by the [AUDIO FILE] switch in step 1 above, followed by the time and date when
the file is created. The display example below left shows that an SDII file is created at 11h: 23m: 09s on the
24th of December.
A tentative name can be edited. See "Editing a file name" described later.
Also "FORMAT", "FS kHz" and "BIT" information according to the switch settings in steps 1 through 3 above
are shown appropriately on the display.

If you create another audio file, carry out steps 1 through 4 above and then use the jog dial to show "New
File?", followed by pressing the [ENTER/YES] key.
Tips:
File numbers are managed separately by the file
format.
One higher that the number of existing files of
the same format is assigned to the file number
of a newly created audio file.
For example, if five "BWF" and a single "SDII"
files are created on a disk, the BWF files ("01"
through "05") are stored in the "bwff" directory,
while the SDII file ("01") is stored in the "sd2f"
directory.
