This unit manages data in units called "songs". Ordinarily,
each project should have its own "song" file. The first step
is to load the song that you want to manage (load an
existing song or create a new song).
In a song, the audio data for the recorded multitrack (tracks
1–8) and the stereo master track are saved.
This chapter starts with an explanation of SD card
partitions, and then covers basic operations, including
procedures for loading songs and creating new songs, as
well as various song management functions.

Partitions and songs

This unit uses SD cards to record songs. SD cards
formatted by the unit are divided into partitions.
The partitions include MTR partitions for recording song
data and FAT partitions that can be read and written to by
computers.
