Dirtywave M8 Operation Manual
Loading a Demo Song
The best way to explore the M8 for the rst time is to check out some of the demos
included on the SD card. By default the M8 shipped with “DEMO1” already loaded. You
can press [PLAY] in the song view and navigate around the views to get comfortable
with the layout and watch what is happening during playback.
Let’s familiarize ourselves with the project view and the le browser. Navigate to the
Project which is located above the Song view. If you’re not already in the song view,
hold [SHIFT] and keep pressing [LEFT] until you see “SONG” in the title area of the dis-
play, then navigate up using [SHIFT]+[UP]. Move the cursor down to highlight “LOAD”
and press [EDIT].

This is the le browser. By default when loading a song the browser is opened to
“/Songs” on the SD card. Any entry that starts with a “/” is a directory, and pressing
[EDIT] on a directory will display its contents. Pressing [EDIT] on the “/..” entry will take
you back to the previous directory. Furthermore there are a few handy shortcuts that
can be used in this view:
• [LEFT] will navigate to the top of the list.
• [RIGHT] will navigate to the bottom of the list.
• [OPTION]+[UP or DOWN] will skip over 8 entries in the list.
• [PLAY] will preview a sample or instrument when browsing for them.
• [SHIFT]+[OPTION] will sort a directory by name if it is unsorted.
• [OPTION] will exit the le browser.
• [OPTION]+[EDIT] to delete a le.
Highlight “/DEMOS” by pressing [DOWN] and press [EDIT]. Choose a song to load and
press [EDIT] to load it. If a song was already playing when you entered the Load Project
view, the new song will load and start playing back after the playing song reaches the
end of a chain. This is called Queued Song Loading and it is useful for switching songs
in a live setting.
