Disk Mode

Disk mode lets you load, save, back up, and copy Þles of objects between the K2600 and the
outside world, through the K2600Õs ßoppy drive or SCSI ports. The ßoppy drive accepts
MS-DOS

¨

format double-sided double-density (DSDDÑ720K) and high-density (HDÑ1.4 M)

ßoppy disks. To save data from the K2600 to a ßoppy disk, the disk must be formatted
(initialized) by the K2600 or by a computer running MS-DOS-compatible formatting software.

Most SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) devices will operate with the K2600 via its 25-pin
SCSI ports. The most common use for these ports is to connect one or more hard disks (or
removable drives like Zip or Syquest) for storing samples and other objects. You can also
connect a CD-ROM drive for reading Þles to the K2600. The K2600 will treat a CD-ROM drive
like any other SCSI device (except that you canÕt save Þles to it). The K2600 can read writable
CDs (CD-Rs), although it canÕt write to them.

The K2600 can address up to 2 gigabytes of Þle space on any one hard disk, so you can connect a
maximum of 14 G of storageÑup to seven hard disks. The K2600 can use all of the space on
disks of 2 G and smaller. On larger disks, formatting with the K2600 creates a 2 G partition on
the disk; the K2600 can read only that partition. If you format a hard disk on a computer, make
the Þrst partition just under 2 G. You can create other partitions, of any size, but the K2600 can
read only the Þrst partition.

Disk mode in the K2600 allows ßexibility to organize disk Þles and their contents. Many
powerful operations are included that can save a lot of time by allowing you to easily specify
exactly what you want to load or save. Examples of this range from organizing related Þles into
directories, to loading macros (lists of Þles or selected objects) from multiple SCSI disks, to
setting up programs to automatically link with samples off of a CD-ROM.

HereÕs a summary of Disk-mode functionality:

¥

One ßoppy drive, two SCSI ports

¥

MS-DOS Þle system compatibility

¥

Sample transfer using standard audio Þle formats AIFF and WAV (including support for
looped and tuned WAV Þles)

¥

Support for Roland,

ª

Akai,

ª

and Ensoniq

ª

sample Þles
