About Files

There are restrictions on the characters that can be used in a file name or path name. The following characters can be used. - The first character of a file name must be a single-byte letter or an underscore. [a-zA-Z_]
- Other characters in a file name must be single-byte alphanumeric or an underscore. [a-zA-Z0-9_]

Directory names must 248 characters or less, and the path including the file name must be 260 characters or less.

Types of Project Files

There are three types of project files handled by SoundMaker:

• Sound Project files
• Sound Set files
• Bank files

Types of Reference Files

SoundMaker can play back and convert the following types of files, as well as register them as reference files for items.

• WAV files (waveforms)
• AIFF files (waveforms)
• Standard MIDI files (sequences)
• Text Sequence files (sequences)

SoundMaker can register file types other than those listed above as items, but cannot play back or convert them.
Selecting Open Reference File from the shortcut menu in the item list will open the corresponding application, if possible.

Saving Reference File Paths

To save the file path referenced by an item, use a relative path when the file being referenced is on the same drive as the Sound Project file, and use an absolute path when the file being referenced is on a different drive.
