in hard disk.

External USB storage media

The OASYS supports USB external storage class

devices, including hard drives, flash drives, magneto-

optical disks, floppy disks, etc. Both MS-DOS FAT16

and FAT32 formats are supported, with the following

capacities:

FAT32: up to 2 Terabytes (2,000 Gigabytes)

FAT16: up to 4 Gigabytes

For more information, including requirements for

external USB storage media and details on connecting

USB devices, please see “6. Connecting USB devices”

on page 39.

CD-R/RW (Internal and USB)

The OASYS can read and write UDF format CD-R/RW

disks. For more information, see “CD-R/RW disks on

the OASYS: UDF and packet-writing” on page 1033 of

the Parameter Guide.

The OASYS can also play and record audio CDs (CD-

DA), and read ISO9660 (level 1) CDs.

Operations that the OASYS can perform on media

Functions available with all media

• Saving and Loading files (Disk mode)

You can save and load any data stored in memory.

For details on OASYS file types, please see “Files,

directories, and icons” on page 691 of the

Parameter Guide. Loading or saving divided files is

supported for USB media.

• Utility operations (Disk mode)

You can copy or format media.

• Sampling/resampling (Program, Combination,

Sequencer, Sampling modes)

If Save to = DISK, sampled/resampled Wave files

will be written directly to media.

• Wave file playback (Sequencer, Disk modes)

Some limitations apply. *2

• Audio CD creation (Disk mode)

You can create audio CDs from WAVE files, using

either internal or USB CD-R/RW drives.

• Convert to ISO9660 Format (Disk mode)

The native OASYS CD-R/RW format is UDF,

which allows you to write repeatedly to the same

CD. UDF is a standard format, but you can also

convert such disks to the more common (but less

flexible) ISO9660 format.

Functions available only on the internal

hard disk
