In this case, the K2vx can be connected in the middle of a SCSI chain without causing problems.
If you connect it at the end of a SCSI chain, however, you should install an external terminator
on the unused SCSI port.
If youÕre planning to buy a SCSI hard disk to use with your K2vx, itÕs a good idea to buy one
with two SCSI ports. Most new hard disks have two ports, and can be terminated or
unterminated relatively easily. This gives you added ßexibility, since you can install it at the
end of a chain, leaving its termination in place, or in the middle of a chain, using both its SCSI
ports, and removing its termination.
When your SCSI device is connected, you can select it with the Current disk parameter on the
Disk mode page. Use any data entry method to select the SCSI ID that matches the SCSI ID of
your SCSI device. If youÕre using the numeric keypad to select the device, enter "9" to select the
ßoppy. Newer SCSI devices usually have an external switch for setting their IDs. Older units
may not have these; check your deviceÕs ownerÕs manual for its SCSI ID.
Using your K2vx in a SCSI System
SCSI IDs
All devices in a chain of SCSI devices must have different SCSI IDs, including the K2vx. The
K2vxÕs SCSI ID is set at 6 by default, and can be changed on the RECV page in MIDI mode. If
your SCSI system includes a Mac, be sure not to use SCSI ID 7 for any of your other devices,
since the MacÕs SCSI ID is 7, and canÕt be changed. Once youÕve made sure that all connected
devices are set to different SCSI IDs, you should be able to select the devices, format them, and
start loading and saving Þles.
Formatting a SCSI Device
The procedure for formatting hard disks is essentially the same as with ßoppy disks, once the
SCSI device is selected with the CurrentDisk parameter. The K2vx will recognize the disk as a
SCSI disk, and will warn you that formatting will erase the contents of the disk. Compared with
personal computers, the K2vxÕs formatting time for SCSI disks is surprisingly short.
Directories
A directory is a Þle on the disk that lets you group other Þles together as you might separate
documents using folders in a Þle cabinet. You can create directories on K2vx Format SCSI and
ßoppy disks. You can even create directories within directories, which are also called
subdirectories
.
Directories are very useful for organizing your sample, song, and program Þles. The K2vx
provides many operations for setting up and managing the directories on your disks and the
Þles within them.
Path
The Path Þeld shows the current directory on the current disk if it is a K2vx format disk. This
Þeld is displayed upon returning to the Disk Mode page after you have pressed one of the disk
function soft buttons and viewed the Þle contents of a speciÞc disk. The current directory is
always set to the top-level or root directory when the K2vx is powered on, or when the
CurrentDisk parameter is changed. After this, the current directory is remembered by the
K2vx as the most recent directory accessed by the disk functions.
The root directory is displayed as
