Reference Track
When two or more HDRs are synchronized and controlled by MIDI Machine Control,
the recording track assignments of each HDR needs to be assigned to different
numbers so that any of the tracks can be selected for recording. This function is used
to assign the number of the first track of each unit.
Ex: Trk 1 of first unit is TRK 1 / trk 1 of 2
nd
unit is TRK 9 / trk 1 of 3
rd
unit is TRK17.
This way, the mixer maps know that fader # 9 goes to TRK 1, 2
nd
unit.
Each HDR needs to have a unique number assigned to its first track.
The number assignment is not stored in memory, so when the units are powered
down all assignments are lost.

Backing Up and Loading Data
Making Room For More Songs on the Hard Drive
Creating a song defines a “song space” on the hard drive for the newly created
song. As more songs are created, the space available on the hard drive decreases.
To make room on the hard drive for a new song, you should back-up your song (to DAT or
SyJet/SyQuest cartidges) and delete the space on the hard drive, then “Create” your new
song.
Once a song is deleted, it can’t be recalled.
Note:
The audio data of the deleted song still remains on the hard drive .There is a
separate method for deleting AUDIO from the hard drive. When you have created a new
song and are recording new tracks, the audio tracks from the deleted song may still
playback. These "orphaned" audio tracks should be erased by selecting them for
recording, muting them, and then recording over them while they are muted, or follow the
directions under “Deleting Audio”. Since the HDR can record eight tracks at a time, it take
only once through the song to complete the erasure. Be sure to unmute the tracks before
beginning work on the new song or nothing will be recorded on them
The options for back-up are: BackSong - backup only the current song, does not backup
midi-stripe or mixer programs, just audio data.
BacAll - backup the entire hard drive contents, including
midi-stripe and mixer programs
