Card Utility Operations
FILE IMPORT
This operation loads an audio file from a memory card.
Caution When Importing Audio Files (WAV/AIFF)
• When using your computer or other device to copy or save an audio file (WAV/AIFF) onto a
memory card, place the file in the root directory (the top level) of the card. If you place the file
anywhere else on the card, the SP-606 will be unable to import it.
• When importing, the SP-606 can recognize a maximum of 200 audio files.
• File names that are longer than eight characters or that contain double-byte (e.g., Japanese)
characters will not be displayed correctly.
• WAV files must have a filename extension of WAV, and AIFF files must have a filename extension
of AIF. Files will not be recognized if they have any other extension.
• The SP-606 can only import 8-bit or 16-bit samples.
• Sample rate conversion is not performed. The audio file will be imported as 44.1 kHz data. If the
actual sample rate of the imported file is other than 44.1 kHz, it will play at an incorrect pitch.
• The loop point settings within an AIFF file are ignored.
• If you attempt to import WAV/AIFF data in a format not supported by the SP-606, the error
message "unsupported!" will appear, and the data will not be imported.
• Compressed audio files (WAV/AIFF) cannot be imported.
• In some cases, it may not be possible to import extremely short audio files (WAV/AIFF).
• The following table shows the time required to import large audio files.
* Once the Import operation has begun, it cannot be canceled.
