Fostex FD-8 owner manual Saving/loading via a DAT or adat

Saving and Loading Song Data

At this time, using the JOG dial allows you to select the load destination Program.

Since there is only one Program in the destination disk in this example, you can select only [P01]. If the destination disk contains multiple Programs, see the following <Memo>.

When the load operation is completed, [COMPLETED !] lights up.

44.1kHz

SYNC OUT	DRIVE	Lights up
	COMPLETED !
CLK	SCSI
AUTO	A.PUNCH

7. Use the JOG dial to select the load destination Pro gram and press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The FD-8 starts loading data.

Backup data [B01] is loaded to Program [P01] on the cur rent disk. As the operation progresses, the REMAIN value counts down.

	44.1kHz

REMAIN	MB
SYNC OUT	DRIVE
CLK	SCSI
AUTO	A.PUNCH

8. Press the EXIT/NO key to exit SETUP mode.

The Time Base display of the loaded Program appears.

9.Press the EJECT button on the backup drive to eject the backup disk.

<Memo>

If you saved one Program to multiple backup disks, the FD-8 indicates that the disk in the drive is the “first” disk, as follows:

	44.1kHz
ABS
SYNC OUT	DRIVE
CLK	SCSI
AUTO	A.PUNCH

Confirm that this message appears, and execute the load operation. When data in the first disk is loaded, the FD-8 automatically ejects the disk and displays [Inst. Disk 2], meaning “Please insert the second disk.” Insert the sec- ond disk and continue the load operation.

Note: Make sure that you insert the disks in the correct order. If you insert the wrong disk, the FD-8 displays [Wrong disk] and ejects the disk. Follow the disk markings you made during the save operation.

<Memo>

If the load destination disk contains multiple Programs, the FD-8 asks whether you wish to set up a new Program in Step 6 of the procedure above. ([03] and [SURE ?] flash.) This is because the existing Programs may already con- tain data. If you do not mind overwriting the existing data with the loaded data, select the desired Program number as the load destination.

		44.1kHz
	SETUP
			Flashing
SURE ?
SYNC OUT		DRIVE
CLK		SCSI
AUTO		A.PUNCH

In the above display example, the FD-8 asks you if you wish to create a new Program 3, since Programs 1 and 2 on the current drive disk contain data.

Saving/loading via a DAT or adat

To use a DAT or adat to save and load data, the current SCSI drive disk should be a fixed disk that is formatted in Master mode. Refer to the “Saving/loading data using an 2.5-inch internal hard disk as the current drive” section for a detailed procedure of the save/load operation.
