devices as WAV files to CD-R/RW discs lets you more easily
add loop phrases.

BR-1 CD-R/RW drive.
1. Using your computer, write the waveform data you
want to import for the loop phrase as a WAV or AIFF
file to a CD-R/RW disc.

2 Mode 1.” Note that you may be unable to import using other
formats.

file into the CD-R/RW drive.
