Saving and Loading Song Data

<Tips>

You can monitor the signal being loaded. Follow the steps below.

*Set the SELECTOR in the monitor section to “MON.”

*Turn the MON knobs for channels 1 and 2 for DAT backup (or channels 1–8 for adat backup) toward “TRK.”

*Turn up the MASTER knob in the monitor section.

Saving and loading song data via a SCSI drive

This section explains how to save and load data to and from a SCSI backup drive and a 2.5-inch internal hard disk. Recording mode on the current drive does not affect this operation. Refer to the “Saving and loading song data between two SCSI drives” for more information on the procedure.

Connect a SCSI backup drive (ID #=6) to the SCSI connector on the 2.5-inch hard disk in the FD-8, as shown below.

<Note on connections>

Be sure to connect a SCSI backup drive to the SCSI connector. Make sure that the ID number for the SCSI backup drive is set to “6.”

Note: As shown in the drawing, when the SCSI drive assigned for the current drive is daisy chained to the SCSI drive for backup and also connected to the optional 2.5 inch IDE internal hard disk which is in the current drive mode, please note the following items.

FD-8 with a 2.5 inch internal hard disk

When the 2.5 inch hard disk is assigned as the current drive:

Switch on power to FD-8 only and not to the two SCSI drives connected.

If save/load of song data is to be executed using the SCSI drive assigned for backup, switch on power to the FD-8 and the SCSI drive assigned for backup. Do not switch on power to the SCSI drive assigned for the current drive. By utilizing either method, FD-8 will always recognaize the 2.5 inch IDE hard disk as the current drive.

In order to use the SCSI drive as the current drive, power to any equipment that is interconnected must, of course, be switched on. The SCSI drive will automatically switch to the current drive mode.
