How to use CF cards and projects
The DM-3200 stores library settings, automation data, etc. to-
gether in projects, which are stored on a CF card, allowing
the mix data for recording sessions to be transported easily
between different locations.
Use any CF card (Type I or Type
II). A card of at least 32MB capac-
ity, such as the one supplied with the
DM-3200, is recommended.
The CF card must be formatted be-
fore use with the DM-3200 (note
that the supplied card is already
formatted):

Important note about the CF card
The DM-3200 does not automatically write to the CF card
every time a change is made to the project. This is to avoid
unnecessary stressing of the card, which can cause premature
failure of the card.
Accordingly, when shutting down the DM-3200, to write the
data currently in memory to the current project, press and
hold the and
