Summary

“WAV Manager” is a utility software application that enables you to import each audio
track from a song created by the MR-8 into the PC as a standard mono WAV file (eight
files for an 8-track song). Also, WAV file data created and edited in the PC can be
exported to the MR-8 (to an existing song).

Operating Environme nt

WAV Manager operates on Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows ME, Windows 2000
Professional, Windows XP Home Edition, and Windows XP Professional Edition.
When WAV Manager is used on Windows 98 Second Edition, a CompactFlash® card
reader/writer may be required as M R-8 ( in certain cases) may not support data transfer
via USB on Windows 98 Second Edition.

Installation and Uninstallation

There is no installer program. When you extract the downloaded file, two files are
created: “readme.pdf” (this file) and “WAV Manager.exe”. To use this software, click
this “WAV Manager.exe” to activate. When you uninstall this software, delete these
two files. This software doesn’t use any registry.

q

Files to be copied to the MR8’s CF must have file names starting with “tr”
followed by “track number” such as tr01.wav, tr02.wav…this allows you to
designate which file goes to which track. For example tr02.wav would go to
track 2 on the MR8.

q

The sampling frequency of your .WAV file must be 44.1kHz or 22.05kHz
with 16bit resolution.

q

Each file must be mono. The fs and resolution must be identical to export.

q

The total file size should not exceed the remaining capacity of the CF card.
