CAUTION
• In both modes, a subfolder is created for each take inside
the folder, and management files are generated in these
subfolders.
• When Session Root mode is selected, the maximum number
of takes that can be recorded in a single session is greatly
reduced from normal. For this reason, when switching to
Session Root mode the following pop-up window appears
with a warning about the reduced maximum limit to the
number of takes.
When switching to Sub Folder mode, the following pop-up
window appears explaining the restored maximum limit to
the number of takes.

created is large. For this reason, the maximum number
of takes that can be recorded is greatly reduced.(See
"Recording operation limitations" on page 35.)
• During recording, you can press the REC key to start
recording a new take. This function can be used 4 seconds
after beginning recording in polyphonic and subfolder

more than 4 seconds.

pre-recording time (default: OFF).

standby is captured by the built-in memory for the set
amount of time. This allows a maximum of 5 seconds to be
recorded before recording is started normally.
To set the pre–recording time, touch the knob, and use the
DATA dial to adjust the value.
Setting range: 0–5 seconds (default: 2 seconds)
Auto Marker

value using the DATA dial.

maximum level (full scale) minus the value set by the user.
(In the example above, this would be when the level exceeds
the maximum level minus 0.20 dB.)
