LP-16 FILE TERMINOLOGY AND FOLDER STRUCTURE

The LP-16 uses audio files on an attached USB drive, to play back assorted audio, either stereo

wav files, or groups of up to 16 mono wave files. These LP-16's menus interact with these files

based on how they are specifically placed on the attached USB drive.

When a USB drive is first attached to the LP-16's front panel USB port, it is tested for compatible

formatting, and then the following folders are automatically created on the USB drive:

•

Music

•

Recording

When you attach the USB drive to your computer to copy wave files from your local hard drive

to the USB device, the files should be placed in these folders so that the LP-16 knows where to

look for them.

The folders work as follows:

9.1.

Music Folder

This folder is where you copy stereo wav files, that are intended to be used when the LP-16 is

set to stereo (ST) mode. This mode is best used for functions like playing "walk-in" music, "break

music" and "walk-out" music at a live event. When the LP-16 is set to ST mode and set to "normal"

instead of playing back a playlist, it will playback the files in this folder in alphabetical order. One

way to configure a playback order you would like, is to prepend the files with "001", "002", etc.

Using your computer, you may create additional folders, within the music folder and then place

different stereo wave files within them, and then navigate to the specific folders and their contents

using the LP-16's "folder browse" button on the top panel. For example, you could create one

folder called "rock" and fill it with rock tunes, while creating another folder called "Jazz" and filling

it with Jazz tunes. With such an approach, you could have different folders of musical styles at

the ready, for music playback at different events.

The music folder also contains an automatically created folder called "PLAYLISTS". This folder

is where any user-created playlist files are stored (using the LP-16 Playlist Editor software). A

playlist file is shown as "xxxx.play"; they can be selected from the LP-16 using the menu's "Select

Playlist" command.

9.2.

Recording Folder

The recording folder is where you store the audio that is used when the LP-16 is set to Multi-Track

(MT) mode. This mode is used when the LP-16 is playing back up to 16 separate audio tracks,

meant to be fed into a live sound console and mixed alongside live performers.

When the USB drive is attached to a computer, you can make a new folder with the name of the

song you are making a collection of files for, and then copy up to 16 mono wave files into that

folder. When that folder is selected on the LP-16, the 16 files will playback, in sync with each

other, out of the 16 rear panel outputs.

A folder containing the 16 wave files may also contain a "song" file (shown as xxxx.set), which

would be created with the LP-16 Playlist Editor software. The song file contains additional settings

related to the multi-track playback functions.

The LP-16 can also play back a standard MIDI file (.midi) in sync with the collection of 16 tracks.

To perform this function, place the .midi file in the same song folder as the 16 wave tracks. The

.midi file's MIDI data will automatically play out of the LP-16's MIDI Out connector, when the

tracks in the same song folder are playing.

LP-16 TRANSPORT BEHAVIOR

10.1. Using the Skip Forward/Skip-Back Buttons

When playing back song files, the transport and navigation controls work as follows:

LP-16 FILE TERMINOLOGY AND FOLDER STRUCTURE

•

Pressing the skip forward button will increment, by one song, the next song to be played

in the playlist. For example, if the next song to be played is the 4th song in the playlist,

pressing the top panel skip forward button will "skip" the 4th song, and instead play the 5th

song next.

•

Pressing the skip back button will decrement, by one song, the next song to be played in the

playlist. For example, if the next song to be played is the 4th song in the playlist, pressing

the top panel skip back button will "skip" the 4th song, and instead play the 3rd song next.

•

To stop a currently playing song before it has completed, or skip to the next or previous song

in a playlist:

○ Press the "stop" button

○ While the transport is stopped, press the skip back or skip forward buttons.

The LP-16 will then allow you to navigate to the next song in the playlist that will be played,

when the play key is next pressed.

The above playback behavior is designed for the most flexible playback of tracks at a

live sound event. It allows you to spontaneously change what song will play next, without

interrupting playback of the current song.

10.2. Using the Stop Button

When the LP-16 is currently playing back a song:

•

The first press of the stop button will pause the transport. Pressing the play button resume

playback of the current song, from the pause point forward.

•

The 2nd press puts the transport into stop mode. Pressing the play button begins playback

of the next song in the playlist.

10.3. Using to the Playlist Folder

To navigate to a playlist folder, use one of the three following methods:

•

Press the top panel "folder" button; you will be taken to the folder on the attached drive

where the currently playing song resides. You can then navigate to the playlist folder.

•

If no playlist is currently selected yet, pressing the stop and play buttons at the same time

will activate (toggle playlist mode) and you will be taken directly the playlist folder.

•

Press the "menu" button and then select the "Go to Playlist" menu option
