Format Card

It’s best to start out with a new 1 GB or 2 GB SD card. If you have an existing card, that’ll

work ﬁne, but make sure you’ve backed up any saved ﬁles on the card ﬁrst, because when

you format your card, all your ﬁles will be erased. The main reason to format your SD card

is to ensure your card is set up with the JM4 ﬁling system. It’s also a good way to get a fresh

start in organizing your sessions. To format your SD card, follow these steps:

Insert an SD card (up to 2 GB) into the SD card slot on the Spider Jam rear panel.•

Press the • SAVE button; you’ll see a list of menu items in the LCD.

Turn the wheel and navigate to • Format Card, then press the R Arrow to format.

Press the Up Arrow to conﬁrm “• Yes”. The format process will take a few seconds.

When the format process is complete, press any button to begin a new session.•

As you begin recording with Spider Jam, before you know it you’ll ﬁnd you’ve accumulated

quite a few recordings. Since internal memory is limited, you’ll want to develop a good

system for backing them up, for beginning new sessions with a clean slate, and for importing

WAV ﬁles from your computer. With that in mind, here are 3 good rules to go by:

Use an SD card as your primary memory bank to keep internal memory freed up.•

Back up every session of internal memory recordings to SD card.•

For maximum recording time, begin every new session with JM4 memory cleared.•

In this chapter we’ll focus on the SD card. With an SD card inserted in your Spider Jam’s

SD card slot, you can save and load your original recordings, perform mixdowns in WAV

ﬁle format, import WAV ﬁles from your computer, and upgrade Spider Jam ﬁrmware.

All the SD card-speciﬁc menu items described in this chapter are accessed by pressing the

SAVE button. The ﬁrst thing you’ll want to do is format your SD card.
