User manual FOSTEX MC102

[. . . ] For save/load of the MC102 data, use discs that can be written at 4 times or higher speed. Do not use discs that only can be written at realtime or twice speed. 2 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. [. . . ] The newly created program is numbered the next number to the highest existing program number. Trk 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 &7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 23 & 24 Load Program 1 (P01) Current drive of the MC102 Program 2 (P02) New Program <Note> You can save or load data using a CD-RW drive only with the FDMS-3 (Fostex Digital Management 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. <Notes for using a CD-RW drive> · Use a high-impedance SCSI cable for connection between the MC102 and a CD-RW drive. The cable length should be as short as possible. · Use a high-impedance SCSI cable for connection between a CD-RW drive to the SCSI port of the Model 8340 installed in the MC102. The cable length should be as short as possible. · When a CD-RW drive connected to the MC102 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. Half pitch 50-pin type connector CD-RW Attach an active terminator High impedance SCSI cable 3 Saving data using a CD-RW drive In the following procedure, we assume that a CD-RW drive is connected to the SCSI port of the Model 8340 installed in the MC102 and a non-recorded CD-RW disc is used. <Note> Do not carry out any MC102 key operation until the access process to the CD-RW disk is completed. 1. After turning on both the MC102 and the CD-RW drive connected, insert a disc to the CD-RW drive. Press the [SETUP] key of the MC102 to enter the setup mode. The display shows the screen for selecting the setup menu. 5. After selecting a program, press the [ENTER/YES] key. The display shows a screen as below. Flashing 3. With this screen, you can choose whether erasing the recorded data or ejecting the disc. Increases as the process progresses. Immediately after completing erasing the disc, the display shows the same screen (for selecting a program to be saved) which appears after step 4 is performed. Hereafter, perform the same procedure as described above. · To eject the disk Use the [JOG] dial to highlight "Eject" (flashing) and press the [ENTER/YES] key. The disc is ejected while the display shows "Insert Disk!. " By inserting a disc, you can start the save operation again from the beginning. 5 <Hint 2> If you try to save data to a recorded CD-R disc, the display shows a warning message saying "Not Writable!", followed by a message saying "Insert Disk" as below. Loading data from a CD-RW drive In the following procedure, we assume that a CD-RW drive is connected to the SCSI port of the Model 8340 installed in the MC102 and a nonrecorded CD-RW disc is used. <Note> Do not carry out any MC102 key operation until the access process to the CD-RW disc is completed. 1. After turning on both the MC102 and the CD-RW drive connected, insert the disc to the CD-RW drive. Flashing <Note> If you load song data which is saved to more than one disc, set DISC-1 first. If you set the other disc and go on the following procedure, the MC102 automatically recognized that the disc order is not correct and the display shows "Wrong Disk", followed by "Illegal No!" momentarily, and the disc is automatically ejected. 4. While "SCSI" is flashing, press the [ENTER/YES] key. After showing the model name of the CD-RW drive, the display shows the backup number and title, as well as recorded space. 2. Press the [SETUP] key to enter the setup mode. The display shows the screen for selecting the setup menu. Flashing By rotating the [JOG] dial, you can select a desired program number/title from among available programs in the MC102 current drive. You can also select "Eject. " 3. Use the [JOG] dial to select (highlight) "Load PGM" and press the [ENTER/YES] key. The display shows the screen for selecting a load device, where "SCSI" is flashing. If you select "Eject" and press the [ENTER/YES] key, the disc is ejected. 6 When you load song data which is saved to more than one disc, the display also shows the disc number currently set. The example below shows DISC-1 is set. <Note> If there is not enough available space for loading on the current drive, the display shows "Disk Full!" and the display returns to the previous screen. When completing the load operation, "Load Completed!" appears on the display (as shown below) and the MC102 stops access to the drive, while the disc in the CD-RW drive is automatically ejected. Flashing Lighting 5. While the desired backup number/title is shown on the display, press the [ENTER/YES] key. The display shows the screen for creating a new program on the current drive, to which data will be loaded ("New PGM" lights). [. . . ] After completing loading all the discs, the above screen appears. Flashing Lighting <Note> You cannot abort the load operation before completed. As described earlier, when loading data from a CD-RW drive, the MC102 creates a new program on the current drive, which is the load destination. Therefore, "New PGM" is shown on the right of the flashing program number. The program number for the newly created destination program is the next number to the highest existing program number. For example, if there are 8 existing programs (P01 through P08) on the current drive, the newly created program is numbered "P09. " 7. [. . . ]
