The track number is not shown on the main BBR user interface screen.
However, the track number is determines which file appears on which
output and is therefore vital for replaying songs and post production.
Renaming Songs
If you plug a keyboard into the BBR you can rename Songs to help find them
later on the BBR or in post production on a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
The keyboard connector on the BBR is a PS2 style Mini DIN connector. This
was chosen specifically to avoid getting it mixed up with the USB connection
for the Disk Drive. Most PC shops sell them very cheaply.
To rename a song: use "Ctrl-S" and then type in the name that you want. The
BBR will accept capital and lower case letters, spaces and all normal
characters that computers will accept in file names except the dash "-" (any
illegal characters will be replaced with an underscore "_"). You can navigate
backwards and forwards using the left and right arrow keys and the delete
and backspace keys operate as you would expect. Finish by pressing "Enter"
on the keyboard. (Escape will cancel any changes). The resulting tracks will
be called
nnn-tt.Song Name.WAV
where "Song Name" is the new name that you typed. This will rename all
the tracks [01 - 64] of this song in this folder with this new Song Name.
[Note: It is important for the BlackBox to keep the nnn-tt prefix so that it
knows which audio files belong together as a Song and which track is to be
played out of which output. It also helps some DAWs to place the tracks in
their playlist in the correct order / position for playback.] So for example, if
the current song is 001(unnamed) and you decide to name it "Herringbone",
you will end up with the following files on your disk
001-01.Herringbone.WAV
001-02.Herringbone.WAV
001-03.Herringbone.WAV
...
001-64.Herringbone.WAV
