Fostex VR800 owner manual Saving and Loading Song Data, Outline of the save/load operation

Page 75
Note: You can save and load data to and from a DAT or adat only when the current drive has been formatted in Master 8ch mode. You cannot perform the save/load operation if the disk has been formatted in Master 4ch mode or ADAC 8ch mode. However, you can save and load data to and from a SCSI drive, regardless of the recording mode used for the disk.
Note: If you are using an 3.5-inchE-IDE hard disk as the current drive, you can connect only a SCSI backup disk to the SCSI terminal on the VR800 (the ID number should be set to “6.”). If you connect a SCSI drive disk set up as a current drive disk (the ID is set to any number other than “6”) and you turn on the power to the drive, the VR800 will recognize this SCSI drive as the current drive.

Saving and Loading Song Data

Outline of the save/load operation

The VR800 has a Save/Load function for song data, which enables you to save the recorded song data (including SETUP data) to a connected backup media, such as a DAT machine, back-up SCSI disk or adat. You can also load the saved data from a DAT, back-up SCSI disk or adat to the current drive disk in the VR800. You can save and load one Program at a time to and from a DAT, adat, or SCSI drive.

The following diagram shows different methods (depending on the current drive type) for saving data to con- nected media, and how to load data to the VR800. Select the appropriate connections depending on the type of connected media.

Using a SCSI drive as the current drive:

 

 

 

Current drive

 

Back-up drive

VR800

SCSI

 

SCSI drive-1

 

SCSI drive-2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Drive

Note: You can save and load data between two SCSI drives, regardless of the recording mode used for the disks.

When saving a multiple number of program data in one disk, they must definitely be of the same format.

DATA IN

DAT

DATA OUT

adat

The connection should follow one of these cases:

*Transferring data between SCSI drive-1 and SCSI drive-2

*Transferring data between SCSI drive-1 and a DAT (See “Note.”)

*Transferring data between SCSI drive-1 and an adat (See “Note.”)

Note: You can save and load data to and from a DAT or adat only if the current drive is a SCSI fixed disk and it has been formatted in Master 8ch mode. You cannot perform the save/ load operation if the disk has been formatted in Master 4ch mode or ADAC 8ch mode. (However, only in the case of save/load by DAT, the master 4ch mode disk can also be used.)

Note: Be sure to set the ID number for a backup SCSI drive to

“6.”

Using an 3.5-inch internal E-IDE hard disk as the current drive:

The connection should follow one of these cases:

*Transferring data between a 3.5-inch E-IDE hard disk and a SCSI drive

*Transferring data between a 3.5-inch E-IDE hard disk and a DAT (See “Note.”)

*Transferring data between a 3.5-inch E-IDE hard disk and an adat (See “Note.”)

<Notes on connection>

If the connected DAT (preferably a professional model) features sync operation with external clock and its “INPUT (or EXTERNAL SYNC)” sync mode switch is set to OPTICAL, trying to load data with both digital I/Os connected as shown in the diagram may cause a digital clock loop to form and loading may fail.

In this case, set the sync mode of the DAT to INTERNAL, or disconnect the optical cable from the DATA OUT of the VR800 before loading data. This type of problem will not occur during the save operation since the DATA IN connector of the VR800 is not effective.
