3.7.3 Copying a CD to the D424
The contents of a CD can be copied to a new sequence on the D424 disk,
including all track and index markers.
• Check the inserted disk: it should not be write protected, have sufficient
free capacity for adding the CD information, and the format must be CD
compatible (44.1 kHz sampling rate).
• Select the CD writer as the current source drive. Use the setup menu 51 for
this purpose; the CD drive usually has the SCSI address 2.
• If the copy mode in menu 644 is set to “toc”, the complete CD will be
transferred; if it is set to “add”, only the currently selected track will be
copied.
Use the D424 transport keys for pre-listening and selecting CD tracks.
• Select the master copy menu 62 and enter the “target” submenu to select
the MO disk as target drive, the internal SCSI address is usually 1 (use the
[

enter submenus, or the [

• Start the transfer process by moving to the “start” item and confirming
with
[ENT] .
During the whole process, a progress bar is revealed. After a successful
transfer, the display reverts to standard mode.
3.7.4 Copying to/from Other MO Disks
Sequences and complete disks can be copied from the internal drive to
additional external drives. There are 3 possible choices:
DISK COPY will copy the complete disk. The target disk has to be empty. Reformat it
before, if necessary (setup utility 53).
MASTER COPY will create a new sequence on the target disk as an exact copy of the
source sequence, including track and index information. The audio infor-
mation will be merged into a new single sound file.
WORK COPY will create a new sequence on the target disk. It is identical with the
source, and includes all sequence information. All sound files used by the
sequence will be transferred as well.
• Check the target disk. It must not be write protected, have enough free
capacity for adding the source information, and the sampling rate of both
disks must be identical.
• Use the setup menu 51 to check if:
the internal drive is currently selected as the active one, and
the external drive appears on the drive list.
• Go to one of the copy menus (Work Copy 61, Master Copy 62, Disk Copy
63) and check the indicated transfer information “copying sequence/track i
to drive m”)
• Modify the target address if necessary (submenu target).
• Start the transfer process by moving to the “start” item and confirming
with
[ENT] .
During the whole process, a progress bar is revealed. After a successful
transfer, the display reverts to standard mode.
