Format
To quickly erase and format a Compact Flash memory card,the GNX4’s setup menu provides a format
function. If a Compact Flash memory card is not present in the Compact Flash memory card slot,the
format function is not available. To format a Compact Flash memory card,follow these steps:
1.Press the SONG SETUP button until the display reads
format?. The recorder’s RECORD
button will begin flashing prompting the user to press it to begin formatting.
2.Press the RECORD button. The display reads
SURE?,prompting the user that the next press will
begin the memory erase procedure. To abort, press EXIT.
3.Pressing the RECORD button a second time will begin the formatting procedure. The GNX4’s
main display reads
format during this time and the GNX4’s buttons and footswitches are disabled
during this procedure.
4.Then GNX4 will display
CF BUSY until the formatting process is complete. You can begin
recording after the GNX4 returns to the preset screen. Do not remove your CF card or turn
the GNX4’s power off while the display reads
CF BUSY or you may lose files.
Using Compact Flash Memory Cards
The GNX4 recorder’s memory can be increased by using an optional,external Compact Flash memory card.
On the back panel is a card slot for adding memory. The GNX4 supports memory cards from 32MB
(Megabyte) to 2GB (Gigabyte) in size.
To utilize a Compact Flash memory card in the GNX4,it must be formatted using the FAT16
File format. DigiTech recommends that you format your card in the GNX4 using our internal format
routine. Our internal format routine will configure the card as FAT16. You can also format a card on a PC
using Windows
®
2000 or XP but you MUST select the File System to be FAT (meaning FAT16) instead of
FAT32 and enable the Quick Format option. If a card is formatted using FAT32 and installed into the GNX4
you will be prompted to format it (
FORMAT?). The GNX4 will also prompt the user to format (FORMAT?) a
card that is unrecognizable for any other reason.
NOTE: The GNX4 is compatible with Type I Compact Flash cards only. It is not compatible
with Type II cards or IBM/Hitachi Microdrives
