Completed

^The operation was executed successfully. Press the [] key to cancel this message.

SongFull

^The maximum number of songs that can be registered in a disk drive has been reached.

Either delete unneeded songs, or select another drive.

Working

^An operation is in progress. Please wait until this mes- sage disappears.

Do not turn off the power while this message is shown. Doing so may result in loss of data.

Error messages

To cancel the message, press the [ ] key.

DAT Read

^During a Restore operation, a failure occurred while reading data from the DAT.

Make sure that the DAT tape contains D8 backup data, and execute the restore operation once again.

DigiIn

^No digital signal is being input to the DIGITAL IN con- nector.

Check the power of the digital device, and its connec- tion to the D8. Some digital devices do not output a dig- ital audio signal unless they are actually playing. In this case, put the digital device in pause mode.

Disk

^A failure occurred while writing/reading the disk drive.

Delete the song which produced this message. If this message continues to appear, re-format the disk drive.

DiskBusy

^If this message appears when you have just begun using a disk drive, that disk drive is too slow, and can- not be used for recording/playback.

Use that disk drive for backing up.

^If punch recording or track editing has been used so that much of the audio data is fragmented (i.e., located on non-contiguous areas of the disk), reading/writing may become delayed.

Find the track(s) which contain fragmented data and re-record this data to de-fragment the data. When you find such a track, copy it to CLP (clip), then cre- ate a new song, and use the Copy Track operation to copy the data from CLP to the song. Set the new song to “REC SELECT=MASTER,” “EFFECT ASSIGN=OFF,” “MASTER FADER=UNITY (=10),” “Copy destination track TRACK STA- TUS=PLAY,” and bounce-record it to a different vacant track. This will produce a track which is identical to the copied track, but whose data is unfragmented. As you did before, copy the data from the new song to CLP, and use the Copy Track operation to return it to its original location. This will solve the problem of the slow-down in disk drive operation.

DrvFull

^There is insufficient drive capacity.

Turn the power off, and then on again.

If this message still appears, you can either delete an

unneeded song or select another drive.

IlliglFs

^During a Restore operation, the sampling frequency from the DAT was incorrect.

Some DAT machines will output a sampling frequency of 48 kHz or 32 kHz if the tape is not actually being played back, so begin playback.

If this message still appears, make sure that the DAT tape contains D8 backup data. (For details refer to the owner’s manual for your DAT.)

In>=Out

^There is a problem with the In and Out time locations that were set for track editing, auto punch recording, auto play or auto repeat. “In” is later than “Out”, or “In” and “Out” are the same.

Set “In” and “Out” to the correct settings.

MemFull

^There is insufficient memory capacity for recording or track editing.

Delete unneeded data.

It is also possible to conserve memory by performing item 2 in DiskBusy.

MIDI Ovr

^Reception of MIDI data failed while receiving MMC or while recording MIDI Clock.

Delete unnecessary MIDI data on the transmitting device.

NoData

^Since the currently selected song contains no data, the operation cannot be executed.

Select a different song which contains data.

NumOfTrk

^During a track edit operation, the numbers of the source and destination tracks are different.

Make settings so that there are the same number of

source and destination tracks.

^Since CLP contains no data, the operation cannot be executed.

Either copy data to CLP, or select a different source track.

Protect

^Writing was not possible because the selected disk drive is write protected.

Eject the disk and turn off write protect.

TmpFast

^Recording failed during tempo recording because the tempo was too fast.

If you are recording MIDIclk, set the tempo of the MIDI Clock output device (sequencer etc.) to a slightly lower setting.

If you are recording MeasTap, press the [PLAY] key or foot switch at a slower tempo.

TmpSlow

^Recording failed during tempo recording because the tempo was too slow.

If you are recording MIDIclk, set the tempo of the MIDI Clock output device (sequencer etc.) of 40 or higher.

If you are recording MeasTap, press the [PLAY] key or foot switch at a slightly faster tempo.
