Managing Wav Files; Working With Wav Files On The Microsd Card; Delete Or Rename A Wav File - 1010music Blackbox User Manual

Managing WAV Files

Blackbox comes with hundreds of WAV files bundled with the firmware. You can load WAV files into pads in order to add
them to a preset. We talked about how to configure pads previously in this document. Here we will discuss what tasks you
can perform to manage the WAV files themselves.

Working with WAV Files on the microSD Card

You can use the microSD card with your computer to manage the WAV files on the card. You can load new WAV files onto
the card or backup your existing WAV files for safekeeping. Blackbox is compatible with all standard WAV files.
You can use a microSD Adapter to insert your microSD card into your computer. Then you may use standard file techniques
to rename the WAV files, reorganize them into directories, delete them, copy them onto your computer or copy them onto
other microSD cards. We recommend that you occasionally make backup copies of your WAV files, especially before
upgrading to new firmware.
Blackbox supports organizing WAV files into folders and subfolders. You can create your own folder structure on the microSD
card.
Note:
If you delete, move or rename a WAV file, it will no longer be available for use by presets that were previously using
•
it. The name of the WAV file will still appear in the Preset, but the Waveform screen will be blank until you load a
new WAV file into the pad.
Blackbox supports samples in the WAV file format. It supports 1 or 2 channel files with 16, 24 or 32 bit resolution at
•
any sample rate. 48kHz is the preferred sample rate.
WAV file names may use Alpha Numeric Characters (A-Z, 0-9) and some special characters. The following characters
•
are NOT allowed: double quotes, forward slash, back slash, question mark, asterisk, less than and greater than
symbols, the colon and the pipe symbol (" / \ ? * < > :
including the path name. Files that do not conform to these naming constraints will not be recognized by blackbox.
To Delete or Rename a WAV File:
When you use blackbox to delete a WAV file, that file is removed from the microSD card. This file will no longer be available
for use by presets. This means that any presets that previously used this WAV file will no longer include this WAV file. To
delete a WAV file:
1. Touch a loaded pad on the Pads screen to display the Waveform Screen.
2. Touch the name of the WAV file at the top of the screen to display the WAV Edit
screen.
3. Use the control knobs to scroll to the WAV file you want to delete. You may
need to load directories to navigate to the file you want to delete.
4. Touch Edit to display the WAV Edit menu.
5. Touch Delete to delete the selected WAV file from the microSD card or
Rename to change the name of the file on the microSD card.
6. You can scroll through the list of WAV files and continue to delete additional files.
7. You can Load a different WAV file from here as well.
