• Use a high-impedance SCSI cable for connection between the VF-16 and a CD-RW drive. The
cable length should be as short as possible.
• Only a single SCSI device can be connected to the VF-16 SCSI port. Attach an active terminator to
the CD-RW drive used. If you attach a terminator that is not active, you may not be able to save
or load data correctly.
• When a CD-RW drive connected to the VF-16 is turned on, only the eject switch of the drive can
be used. Other controls such as the level control and the play button are not effective.
Save/load of Song Data Using a CD-RW drive
Unlike save/load using other SCSI devices (zip, MO, etc.), save/load using a CD-RW drive is took
place as illustrated below. Read the following description together with the description on page
80 in the main manual.
• Save
You can only a single selected program data to a
disc regardless of the program data amount.
You cannot save more than one program data
even if there are enough disc space.
However, you can save a program data to more
than one disc if the data amount is larger than a
disc space.
As shown on the right, you can save almost all
necessary information such as song data of all
tracks (real and additional tracks) and mixer
scene data, as with using other SCSI devices.
• Load
Unlike data load using other SCSI drives, data
loading using a CD-RW drive is took place after a
"new program" is created in the current drive
(the load destination). You cannot overwrite an
existing program with the loaded data.
The newly created program is numbered the next
number to the highest existing program num-
ber.
You can save or load data using a CD-RW drive only with the FDMS-3 (Fostex Digital Manage-
ment System-3) format. Note that, unlike other SCSI devices, you cannot save or load data with
the WAV file format. See the main manual for saving/loading a WAV file.
