DD8
If all the cuts use the same outputs (for example, all cuts are assigned to output A), the following
track assignments will be used on the DD8’s project. For example:
Mono cut
Stereo cut 1
Stereo cut 2
Stereo cut 3
New cut is played back overlapped
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
Track 4
The cuts are assigned to tracks 1+2/3+4 in a similar way to the manner in which the DD1000
assigns cuts to voices. In other words, where cuts in a DD1000 Qlist overlap, whereas on the
DD1000 they will play correctly (owing to the DD1000’s ‘voice’ assignment), on the DD8, they
will be placed on adjacent tracks so as to play correctly.
SAVING PROJECTS TO DD1000 DISKS
When a DD8 project is saved to a DD1000 disk, a DD1000 Qlist of the same name is automati-
cally created and saved to the disk in addition to the DD8 project itself. This allows you to play
simple projects created on a DD8 on a DD1000. The DD8 makes its best attempt to store cues
for playback on the DD1000. It starts at track 1 and then continues until all the tracks are stored
or all 256 DD1000 cues have been used up. After saving a project to a DD1000 disk from the
DD8, the next time this disk is used you can choose to load the DD8 project rather than the
DD1000 Qlist by pressing the SELECT key (F5/F6) on the DISK SETUP page.
WARNING: If you load a DD1000 Qlist into a DD8, work on it and then save it again on the
DD8 you will lose any FADE and MIDI events that may have been on the original and you will
lose all cut names.
PLAYING DD1000 DISKS CREATED ON A DD8 ON A DD1000
Some degree of backwards compatibility is also possible between the DD8 and DD1000 and
any DD1000 disks you have worked with on the DD8 may still be used on a DD1000.
Recordings can be made on the DD8 to a DD1000 disk in the usual manner (i.e. select a track
for record, press PLAY+RECORD) but the DD8 uses the following rules to decide whether a
recording is mono or stereo when recorded on a DD1000 format disk.
•
Adjacent channel pairs of tracks enabled for record are recorded as DD1000 stereo takes.
•
Non-adjacent and remaining channels are recorded as DD1000 mono takes.
REC ENABLE track = 2
REC ENABLE tracks = 2+3
REC ENABLE tracks = 2+4
REC ENABLE tracks = 2+3+4+5
2 = MONO
2 + 3 =STEREO
2 = MONO, 4 = MONO
2 + 3 = STEREO, 4 + 5 = STEREO

4
NOTE 1: When recording in stereo, the first track of the pair is always assigned to the left
channel of the DD1000. For example, in example number 2 above, track 2 would be assigned
to the left channel and track 3 to the right.
