     There may be no empty folders!  While the Envoy 2 S Dual is designed to support two Languages, you can program it with only one Language - but the following restrictions apply:  The second Language folder (002) must exist in the audio project folder.
  • Page 10: The Envoy 2 St

    For the Envoy 2 S Dual structure, looping will occur within the currently playing Language folder. For the Envoy 2 S and Envoy 2 ST looping occurs within the single Language folder.
  • Page 11: The Keypad

    The Envoy 2 S Series comes with an intuitive raised-button keypad, offering four levels of convenient navigation through hundreds of audio files in up to two Languages. Let’s get to know the Envoy 2 S Dual keypad and how the navigation buttons correlate to the supported folder structures.
  • Page 12: Navigation Button Specifics

    Initially, the player will begin audio playback from the first (Green) Language. The following diagrams address navigation for audio playback mode, associating folders and files within the valid structures to specific buttons. For the Envoy 2 S Dual there are exactly two Language groups on the player. The Green...

  • Page 14: Setting Up The Folder Layout

    Let’s use the following example. Please note that this example is specifically for the Envoy 2 S Dual, which is the most complex. It is the same for the Envoy 2 S and ST but with the omission of the second language folder.
  • Page 15 So let’s create a new folder within our Audio Bibles folder and call it MegaVoice. From this point on, we will refer to that folder as the Audio Project Folder. We’ll copy the contents of the English-NT-KJV and Spanish-NT folders into it and make our changes here.
  • Page 16 And so on…  Section Folder 2 (named “002”)  Book Folder 1 (named “001”)  Book Folder 2 (named “002”)  And so on…  And so on… Envoy 2 S Series User Guide 20171215-10.docx Page 16 of 51...
  • Page 17: The Language Folders

    The Language Folders First let’s create the two Language folders in the MegaVoice folder. The first must be named “001”. Since we will end up with lots of folders with some of the same 3-digit sequence numbers, we will append a meaningful name to help us distinguish between them all.
  • Page 18: The Section Folders

    The Section Folders Now we decide how we want to group our “Books” into Sections. If you ordered your Envoy 2 S Dual with the special Cross Navigation feature (requires special firmware to be installed) then you must make sure that your two Language folders are structured identically for Cross Navigation to work.
  • Page 19 Language folder before building the second Language folder. When done with this step, we should have the following folder structure in the MegaVoice audio folder: Once our Section folders are created, let’s move corresponding audio files to their respective Section folder. In the first Language folder, “001-Language-English”, move all the Chapter (MP3) files for Matthew and Mark to...
  • Page 20: The Book Folders And Chapter Files

    “001-Language-English”. This entire process will be repeated for the “002-Language-Spanish” folder later. Open the first Section folder, “001-Section-Matthew-Mark”. Since Matthew is the first Book, create a folder named “001-Matthew”. Mark, being the second Book, will need a folder named “002-Mark”. Envoy 2 S Series User Guide 20171215-10.docx Page 20 of 51...
  • Page 21 Now we will move the Chapter files to their respective “Book” folders. Highlight the Chapter files for Matthew (3 of them in our example) and move them to the “001-Matthew” folder. Highlight the Chapter files for Mark (3 of them) and move them to the “002-Mark” folder. Envoy 2 S Series User Guide 20171215-10.docx Page 21 of 51...
  • Page 22 Let’s repeat the above process for the next Section, “002-Section-1-and-2-Cor”. Because 1 Corinthians is the first Book in this Section, create folder “001-1-Corinthians”. And create “002-2-Corinthians” for the second Book. Envoy 2 S Series User Guide 20171215-10.docx Page 22 of 51...
  • Page 23 (3 of them in our example) and move them to the “001-1-Corinthians” folder. Highlight the Chapter files for 2 Corinthians (3 of them) and move them to the “002-2-Corinthians” folder. Envoy 2 S Series User Guide 20171215-10.docx Page 23 of 51...
  • Page 24 Let’s move the Chapter files to their respective “Book” folders for Section 3. Highlight the (only) Chapter file for Jude and move it to the “001-Jude” folder. Highlight the Chapter files for Revelation (3 of them) and move them to the “002-Revelation” folder. Envoy 2 S Series User Guide 20171215-10.docx Page 24 of 51...
  • Page 25: The Second Language Folder

    Although it is possible to program an Envoy 2 S Dual with Cross Navigation using two differently structured Language folders, MegaVoice advises against it! Though the player may function mostly without a problem, there is a chance that the player will lock up if it can’t find a corresponding file when toggling between the two Languages.
  • Page 26: Verifying The Intermediate Folder Structure

    Let’s verify what we have so far in our example. Using names that were a combination of the required 3-digit sequence number and a meaningful name should make this easy. Start with the MegaVoice audio project folder and click on each folder to verify the contents.
  • Page 27: Renaming The Folders

    MegaVoice recommends a free file renaming utility that you can install on your PC or Mac. It can be used to rename either files or folders. If you need it, download and install the software.
  • Page 28 The “Open” dialog appears. We can rename our folders in any order desired. Let’s start with the Book folders in each Section folder, followed by the Section folders and finally the Language folders. Navigate to \Audio Bibles\MegaVoice\001-Language-English folder. Highlight the first Section folder “001-Section-Matthew-Mark” and click “Open”.
  • Page 29 In the selected Section folder, we should see the 2 Book folders, “001-Matthew” and “002-Mark”. Now let’s define the rules for how we want to rename all the relevant folders. Go to the “Add Operation” tab and click the “Remove” icon. Envoy 2 S Series User Guide 20171215-10.docx Page 29 of 51...
  • Page 30 Making sure we are still on the “Add Operation” tab, click the “Add counter” icon. The “Add Operation: Add sequence” dialog appears. Change the “Start” field to “1”. Leave the rest of the fields to default and click the “Add” button. Envoy 2 S Series User Guide 20171215-10.docx Page 30 of 51...
  • Page 31 Once you set that value and click anywhere else on the dialog, the “Before/After” display at the bottom of the dialog will show you the results. Click the “Add” button. Envoy 2 S Series User Guide 20171215-10.docx Page 31 of 51...
  • Page 32 “001-Matthew” folder will be renamed to “001” and “002-Mark” will be renamed to “002” – exactly what we want. Click on the “Home” tab, and then click the “Rename” icon. Envoy 2 S Series User Guide 20171215-10.docx Page 32 of 51...
  • Page 33 (002-Section-1-and-2-Cor) and simply click the “Rename” icon. Repeat this process for the remaining Section 003-Section-Jude-Rev and for the 001-Language-English folder to rename the 3 Section folders. Repeat for all the folders in the 002-Language-Spanish folder. Finally, in the Audio folder “MegaVoice”, rename the two Language folders.

  • Page 35: Loading Audio Files To The Envoy 2 S Series

    Loading audio files to the Envoy 2 S Series Connecting the players for programming To load your audio files to the Envoy 2 S Series, it is recommended to use the SaberCopy software program (provided by MegaVoice) You may program multiple players at a time, using either multiple USB ports on your PC/Mac or by using a USB expansion HUB.
  • Page 36: Loading The Audio Using Sabercopy

    Players. This example refers to the older Envoy S player but the procedure is exactly the same for all Envoy 2 S Series players. In this example, we will program 2 MegaVoice Envoy S players with a small message from our audio library.
  • Page 37 “Destination Folder” field so that it is blank (as in the image below). This tells SaberCopy to duplicate the contents of the folder in the “source” to the “root” of each target player. This is the equivalent of specifying “*.*” for “all files”. Envoy 2 S Series User Guide 20171215-10.docx Page 37 of 51...
  • Page 38 It is always a good idea to verify the settings on each of the tabs to make sure they are what you want any time you begin a new project. 12. For the Envoy S players, we just need to make sure that “Target Device” is set to “Typical MegaVoice Player”.
  • Page 39: Figure 13: Sabercopy Copy And Check Options

    You can, however, change it to one of the available choices, but we strongly recommend first consulting MegaVoice technical support for optimum settings. 17. Under “Test and Copy Options”, we want to execute the “read/write test before copying”.
  • Page 40 25. Note that you could also click on the “Copy” button appearing in each player line (circled in green), but using “Copy All” is a bit more convenient when you want to load all of the connected/selected players and not just some of them.
