The parameters on this page are used to set SCSI ID’s. The most important parameters you
need to know about are and .
SCSI allows up to 8 devices to be on the buss and these each have a unique number 0-7 (it’s
similar to the concept of MIDI channels). In order for one SCSI device to ‘talk’ to a hard drive,
their SCSI ID’s must match. The field sets the SCSI ID for the sampler’s
SCSI interface and hence the SCSI ID of the drive you will record to and playback from. The
default setting in the field is 5. This parameter must be set to match that of
the drive. For example, if your external drive is 1, this parameter must be set to 1. You may, if
you wish, have several drives connected and each of these must have different SCSI ID’s.
Each one can be selected by changing the ID number in the field.
The field allows you to switch between the different MO formats
of disk. There are two - 512Bytes per sector and 1kByte per sector. Both offer the same
storage, they just have different sector sizes. The S3200XL can use both and this is selected
in this field. The default is 512b.
The field sets the S3200XL’s SCSI ID (as distinct from the sampler’s SCSI
interface’s ID) and is used when communicating between samplers or computer editors over
SCSI.
If you have the optional SONY HS-D650 3.5 inch magneto optical drive fitted internally in the
S3200XL, the : field allows you to turn this off in software. Three options are
available. The first is which leaves the MO drive operating at all times. However, because
the drive can be noisy due to the fans required for cooling, when not in use, you may like to
turn it off. This can be done in two ways. Firsly, you may set this parameter to AUTO which will
turn the MO drive off as soon as you attempt to make a smple in the REC page of SAMPLE. In
this way, the noise of hte driver’s fan will not spill over into your smple if you are using a
microphone in the same room sa your S3200XL. As soon as the smple has been recorded, the
drive switches back on immediately. The other option is which, as the function implies,
turns the drive off completely. Please note that this does not apply to external MO drives that
may be connected.
The soft keys on these pages are:
Takes you to the DD TAKES page.
This takes you to the SONG mode where you may compile takes for sequential
playback or MIDI triggering.
This takes you to the play pages where you may play takes.
This takes you to the take editing display.
Takes you to the record setup page.
Takes you directly to the record page for recording new takes.
