Saving and Loading Song Data
The recorder allows you to select the data (audio data and Setup data) from a current Program and
save it to a DAT machine as an S/PDIF digital signal or to an adat machine as an adat digital signal,
or save it to a SCSI device. You can also re-load the saved data to the recorder. In particular, using
a SCSI device enables you to save and load the data of all Programs (up to 99 Programs), as well as
an individual Program. These save and load functions are convenient when you wish to store
Programs (complete or in progress) temporarily to a DAT, adat, or SCSI device to clear enough
space on the internal hard disk to make new recordings.
**********About saved and loaded data**********
The data format and time required to SAVE/LOAD song data will vary between saving and loading with
a DAT using S/P DIF digital signals, saving and loading with an adat device using adat digital signals, or
saving and loading with a SCSI device. Refer to the following explanation for more details.
S/PDIF digital signal (You can save and load each Program individually.):
Following about five seconds of pilot signal (shown in the diagram below), song data in the current drive
is output to a connected DAT. Two tracks of audio data (shown in black in the diagram) are output. To
save data from Real tracks 1-8, two-track data will be output four times, which takes twice as much time
as the song duration (ABS 0 to REC END). To save all data including Additional tracks 9-24, two-track
data will be output twelve times, which takes twelve times the song duration. Saved data is also loaded
two tracks at a time.
adat digital signal (You can save and load each Program individually.):
After about five seconds of pilot signal (shown in gray in the diagram below), song data in the current
drive is output to a connected adat. Eight-track audio data (shown in black in the diagram) is output. To
save the data from Real tracks 1-8, data will be output once, which takes the same amount of time as the
song duration (ABS 0 to REC END).
To save all data including Additional tracks 9-24, eight-track data will be output three times, which takes
three times the song duration. Saved data is also located eight tracks at a time.
SCSI (You can save and load each Program individually or all Programs at once.):
All Real track data and Additional track data is output simultaneously to a SCSI disk as shown in black in
the diagram. Therefore, saving and loading a Program takes much less time relative to a DAT or adat. No
pilot signal or beep is recorded. If the available disk space is smaller than the song data size, you may use
multiple disks (up to 99 disks) to save and load an entire song.
