• Select “ <HIDE OPTIONS>” to hide the options

[DELETE]

+<SHOW OPTIONS>

• When this item is selected in the ringtone record list, it will expand to show the following items (and it will “close” up again if <HIDE OPTIONS> is selected):
• <FORMAT: value>
  • The format for a recorded ringtone.
  • Note: Default value will be determined by whether you have created an Audio mix or a MIDI mix.
    • MIDI – The recorded ringtone will be a MIDI file.
    • Audio – The recorded ringtone will be an audio file.
• [CHANGE FOLDER]
  • Allows a you to select the folder to record to.
• <DURATION: value>
  • The length of a ringtone recording. For further background on bar length refer to section on Content at beginning of User Guide.
    • 8 bars (default) – To change this value use the Left/Right or 4/6 keys to decrease or increase the value by 1. Activating this entry will increase the value by 1.
• <AUDIO: value>
  • The different available output frequencies for recordings.
    • 16KHz mono (default)
• <FORMAT: value>
  • The different available audio formats for recordings.
    • WAV 16bit (default)
• <AUTO NUMBER: value>
  • This setting determines whether each recording will have a new name (sequential) or whether the previous recording is over written. For example, if auto numbering is off (the display shows ), then this would mean that all ringtone recordings are made to the same file name, so you can do a take until you get it right, and the previous version is overwritten. The alternative setting means each ringtone recording is stored with a different number from the main name, e.g. rec1.wav, rec2.wav, rec3.wav
    • No (default) – All ringtone recordings made to same file name.
    • Yes – All ringtone recordings stored with a different number.
• [SET NAME]
  • Allows the name of the default recording (e.g. mm_rec.wav) to be changed. This is particularly useful if you are making many different numbered recordings, e.g. rec1.wav, rec2.wav and recfrog1.wav, recfrog2.wav etc.
