Compact Flash File Functions
Compact Flash Storage/File Transfer
Since the GNX4 is equipped with both a compact flash (CF) d USB, it can act as a card reader for
transferring any files that may reside on a card to and from any USB equipped computer. To enable the card
reader function, follow these steps:
1. Place a CF card in the GNX4Os memory card slot.
a
2. Connect your computer via USB to the GNX4 (you must install the drivers from the X-Edit
Editor/Librarian and USB Drivers CD prior to connecting the GNX4 to your computer).
ATTENTION: Do not remove your CF card during file transfer or you may lose files.
The CF STORAGE button in the Recorder panel will light indicating the CF card is being recognized by the
computer. When the CF STORAGE button is lit, the GNX4Os onboard recorder functions are disabled and
the recorder display will read CF STOR. When you are finished transferring files, press the CF STORAGE
button to disable the card reader function. The recorder display will return to its normal song/time status
and you may resume recording onto the CF card. To copy files back and forth between the GNX4 and your
computer, follow these steps:
