Memory Card/Computer File Format
The GNX4 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 the GNX4, the songs appear in the Songs
folder 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 GNX4 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.
MIDI files and MP3s can use most any naming convention provided they have the .mid suffix for MIDI files
and the .mp3 suffix for MP3s added at the end of the name. These files must reside in their respective
folders in order to be recognized by the GNX4.
The following names are acceptable for song folders:
Song01_rock
song01 rock
SONG01 rock
Song01rock
The following names are not acceptable for song folders:
Song_01
Song 01
Song 1
The following names are acceptable for individual audio track files:
Trak01_solo.wav
trak03lead.wav,
trak04 rhythm.wav
TRAK05 bass.wav
The following names are not acceptable for audio track files:
TRAK_01
Track 01
track 1
It is possible to have duplicate songs or tracks when renaming them in the computer. For instance,
song01_rock and song01_jazz are really the same name to the GNX4 as are trak01_solo.wav and
trak01_solo2.wav. The GNX4 only looks at the first six characters to identify the song and track
information. The remainder of the name is not recognized but is provided for the purpose of identifying song
and track names in your file system. There can only be a maximum of 99 songs on a memory card, and a
maximum number of 8 tracks in each song.
