Memory Card/Computer File Format - DigiTech GNX3 User Manual

Recorder
To use an external memory card with the GNX3, follow these steps:
1. Place the card into the MEMORY CARD slot with the contacts facing down.
When a memory card is inserted into a GNX3 for the first time, it needs to be formatted by the GNX3 in
order to use it. To format the card, do the following:
1. Once a card has been inserted into the GNX3's Memory Card slot, the display reads
RECORD button begins flashing.
2. Press the RECORD button once and the display asks if you are
3. Press the RECORD button again to begin formatting the card. The GNX3's functions are temporarily
disabled during the card formatting process. Depending on the memory card size, this process may take
several minutes.
4. When formatting is complete, the display reads
formatted card. The GNX3 returns to the preset screen indicating the card is now ready for recording.
NOTE: Once you have recorded onto an external card, you must run the Card>>PC utility
explained in the Recorder Setup section on page 45 if you plan to use the card with an
external card reader connected to a computer. Failure to do so can result in recorded
material being lost

Memory Card/Computer File Format

Once the card has been properly prepared (Preparing Card for Computer) for the computer using the card
preparation routine in the GNX3's recorder setup menu, you can now use a computer's memory card reader
to access these files. These files can be copied between the memory card and your computer using standard
drag and drop routines you are familiar with. When plugging a card into a card reader, you can open it up on
your computer screen and see each of the song file folders. The audio track files are found inside each of the
song folders.
The GNX3's uses a specific song and track file naming convention that needs to be maintained when
exchanging files with a computer. When a card is inserted into a card reader, the songs appear as folders
named SONG01, SONG02, etc... The number of songs can change depending on how many songs or loops
are saved on the memory card. Inside each of the song folders are the separate audio tracks which will be
named TRAK01.wav,TRAK02.wav, up to TRAK08.wav. It is important that each song's name starts with
SONGXX (XX = song number) with no spaces, and each audio track is named TRAK01-TRAK08 with a .wav
extension in order for the GNX3 to recognize these files. You can rename tracks and songs while viewing
them in the computer with some restrictions. Here are some naming formats that are acceptable.
The following names are acceptable for song folders:
