NOTES ABOUT USING EXTERNAL DRIVES FOR RECORD/PLAYBACK
Using SELECT DRIVE, the contents of an alternate drive can be viewed whilst playing back rom another.
For example, in the above screen shot, you are viewing the contents of an external drive oSCSI #1
whilst a project from the internal drive on IDE #0 is actually loaded (and possibly playing).
The current drive only changes when a project from another drive is loaded. This means you can
view projects on other drives while still being able to play the current project.
You can also use the PROJECT TOOLS for the selected disk so, in the above example, even though
the 'project drive' is IDE#0, you could perform a backup or r estore on the external SCSI drive.
However, please note that you cannot backup or restore whilst playing or working on another project
You can also select a USB HOST drive to perform a Project Copy from the HOST to the DPS24.
• When switching drives, the current edit clipboard is lost (to prevent the audio from projects
spanning different drives). Use WAV export/import or project copy to transfer audio from one
drive to another.
• Ordinarily with SCSI, there is a limit of 6 metres TOTAL cable length but if your drive is an LVD
type, this can be extended. Please consult your drive's technical documentation for more details.
• It goes without saying that you cannot record to or playback from CD-ROM, CDR or CD-RW!!
• You will, of course, require the optional IB-24SCSI board to be installed in your DPS24 in order
