4.7.4 Copying to/from Other Disks
Sequences and complete disks can be copied from the internal drive to
additional, external drives.
What will be Transferred? The following transfer modes are available:
DISK COPY Will copy the complete disk. The target disk has to be empty; reformat it
first, if necessary (setup utility 53).
MASTER COPY Will create a new sequence on the target disk. The audio information will
be merged into a new, single sound file.
WORK COPY will create a new sequence on the target disk that is identical with the
source and includes all sequence information. All sound files that are used
by the sequence will be transferred as well.
The following additional parameters will be considered for the MASTER
COPY mode:
Noise Shaping (in TRANSFER PARAMETER menu 641); for improving data quality
when transferring 20 bit or 24 bit data to a 16 bit sequence.
Recording Parameters With MASTER COPY a new audio file is generated. Some of the basic
recording parameters are considered.
Digital Playback Level The transfer process considers the digital playback level setting in setup
menu 33.
Starting the Transfer • Check that the target MO disk is ready for recording – it should not be
write-protected and should have sufficient free capacity for adding the
prepared audio.
• The transfer process is initiated in the SETUP menu. After having edited
the current sequence and checked the parameters, select one of the COPY
menus 61...63, e.g.
[SETUP] [6] [3]
• The current source and target information is displayed. The target disk can
be changed by selecting the “ target” item.
• Start the process by moving to the “ start” item with the cursor key and
confirm with
[ ENT ] .
• During the entire transfer process, the indication “ processing” and a prog-
ress bar with “ #” signs will inform you on the transfer status. After a suc-
cessful transfer, the display reverts to standard mode.
