TASCAM DP-008EX
11 – SD Card Management
Overview of partitions
As described in “Partitions and songs” (page 37), SD
cards formatted by this unit are divided into parti-
tions. MTR partitions are for recording data while
the FAT partition can be accessed with a personal
computer. High-capacity cards can have multiple MTR
partitions. In this case, you can use the MTR partitions
for different songs, for example, or copy songs to a
different MTR partitions to save their information. The
FAT partition is FAT32 format and can be accessed
by a computer connected to this unit by USB. This
FAT partition is used to save songs and export stereo
masters to computers, as well as to allow this unit to
import audio files into songs, for example. For this
reason, two steps are necessary to copy from a MTR
partition and a computer. You can also format an
entire card or individual partition as well as change
the divisions between partitions (repartition) as
necessary.
CAUTION
Formatting and repartition operations cannot be
undone!
NOTE
The FAT (File Allocation Table) format is a disk
format that can be read by a computer.
SD cards that meet SD/SDHC standards and are at
least 512 MB can be used with this unit. A list of SD
cards that have been confirmed for use with this
unit can be found on the TEAC Global Site (http://
teac-global.com/).
See “Selecting the active partition” on page 37
for how to change the active partition.
Formatting SD cards
This operation formats the entire card and allows you
set MTR partition sizes for high-capacity cards.

cannot be undone! Confirm that you will not lose
important data before formatting a card.

CARD
item, and press the F4 [t] button to open

Size of entir
e SD card
The following table shows the FAT and MTR
partition sizes for different SD card capacities. The
FAT partition size is set automatically according
to card capacity. The size of the MTR partition on
cards 4 GB or smaller is also fixed, but cards that
are 8 GB or larger have multiple MTR partitions
and their sizes can be chosen. However, the last
MTR partition is set to fill the remaining space
on the card automatically, so its size cannot be
chosen.

tions, no matter how small you make them.

will ask you to format it. At this time, however, you
cannot choose the size of the MTR partitions. If you
want to change the sizes, follow the procedures
above to format the card.
