Please note that when performing a restore, it is not possible to do a partial restore - i.e. when
restoring into memory, you cannot selectively restore one snare drum, for example, and when
restoring to hard disk, you cannot selectively choose a single volume.
Should you try to perform a restore but the DAT is not connected properly (or the DATA
machine is switched off), you will see this message:
Please check your connections.
PLEASE NOTE
THE DAT RESTORE PROCESS WILL ERASE THE CURRENT
MEMORY CONTENTS OR HARD DISK DATA - PLEASE BE CAREFUL
NOTE 1: Though backing up to DAT offers many advantages in terms of speed, convenience
and cost of the media, Akai does not guarantee the integrity of the data backed up in this way.
It is therefore strongly recommended that for archive purposes you also backup to floppy
disks.
NOTE 2: Only DAT machines may be used for backup/restore.
YOU CANNOT BACKUP SAMPLER DATA TO DCC OR MINIDISK FORMATS
The reason for this is that both these formats for digital audio recording use data compression.
These work by actually removing data from the datastream thereby saving space. The data
compression algorithms used work on the principle that certain frequencies get masked by
others in certain circumstances and so can be removed without too many adverse effects. This
does have a slight affect on tonal quality but, generally, the tiny loss in quality is barely
noticeable when listening to music. However, because the data compression process
removes data, it will corrupt the S2000 sample and program data should you try to back up to
such a machine. These machines are great for digitally mixing down onto from the S2000
digital audio outputs but you cannot perform a backup to them. Should you try to, the restore
will fail.
Akai Electric Co cannot accept responsibility for any data lost in this way.
NOTE 3: As the backup is being performed, the signal going to DAT can also be heard on
the main L/R outputss. Be sure to turn the sampler's, amplifier's or mixer's level down to avoid
damaging speakers.
