FD-8 Owner’s Manual Supplement
<NOTE>: When formatting a large capacity hard disk, the time required to format will be in
relation to disk size. As a general estimate, it requires about 15 minutes to format 1GB and
thus, as an example, it will take about 7 hours for a 30GB hard disk.
The functions explained here have been added to the FD-8 subsequent to version
1.10 because of a version up of the software. Prior to operating the FD-8, please
read this supplement together with the main manual.
1. Large capacity hard disks can now be used.
It is now possible to use a 2.5 inch E-IDE hard disk with a capacity up to about 30GB
(FS=44.1kHz) for the FD-8 internal current drive disk.
2. In the BAR/BEAT/CLK (bar/beat/clock) time base, the offset figure of the BAR
that indicates the head of the disk can now be edited.
Although [Time Base] is explained in [Before Operating] in the main owners manual, for
the unit representing the present traveling position of the FD-8, MTC (MIDI time code) or
BAR/BEAT/CLK are employed in addition to ABS (absolute time). For this reason, the
figure indicating the present disk position will be different depending on the selected
time base.
With the FD-8 in the initial setup state, when the disk is at the head position (ABS 00M
00S 00F) the MTC offset indication will be [MTC 00H 59M 57S 00F], and when by BAR/
BEAT/CLK it will be [-002BAR 1BEAT 00CLK].
Before this version up, changing the offset figure was limited to MTC and the BAR/BEAT/
CLK offset figure was fixed to [-002BAR 1BEAT 00CLK]. But after this version up, the BAR
offset figure of BAR/BEAT/CLK can now be changed and set to any figure within a range
of -002 ~ -009.
The FD-8’s initial state [-002BAR 1BEAT 00CLK] will always be displayed and the BAR
offset figure will be [-002BAR].
In order to set the offset figure of the BAR/BEAT/CLK display, use the SETUP mode of the
FD-8 in the same manner for setup of MTC offset. For procedures, refer to the reverse
side explanation. For setup of MTC offset, please refer to [SETUP mode] of the main
owners manual.
