(e.g., recording a WAV file with “#0002” will create a file “XV_0002.wav”) This number is incremented from the highest-numbered file currently in the XVIVE folder. For example, if XV_0100.wav is found in the folder, the next file will be named XV_0101.wav, regardless of whether files 1-99 are present.
D: Card storage used, as a percentage. An empty card shows 0%, while a full card shows 100%. E: Input audio meter. The metered signal is post-FX, post-gain, and reflects what is written to the file. F: Card storage remaining, in bytes. G: Input gain slider.
