This section explains how backup data and playable
drives used to create D8, D16, and D16V2 songs can be
used with different models of the Digital Recording
Studio series.
Using D8 backup data on the D12
In order to use a D8 song on the D12, you must backup
the song on removable media, and restore it on the D12.
Only the audio data will be restored into a new song.
If a drive used to create D8 songs is connected to
the D12, it will be displayed in the drive list as
“Unknown Disk”; the data cannot be played in this
form, and D12 data cannot be used on the D8.
Using a D16 playable drive on the D12
When a D16 playable drive (a drive used to create
songs) is connected to the D12, it will be displayed in
the Drive List as “D16[P].” You can select and play
songs from this drive. However, the songs will be pro-
tected, so it will not be possible to record or perform
track editing or song editing (except for Copy Song) on
these songs. If you wish to record or edit one of these
songs, you must first select a song on a D12 playable
drive, and copy the desired song from the D16 drive to
the currently selected drive.
However, it is not possible to copy songs from the
D12 drive to the D16 drive, or to execute Restore
with the D16 drive specified as the restore destina-
tion.
Using D16 backup data on the D12
When a drive containing D16 backup data is connected
to the D12, it will be displayed in the Drive List as
“D16[B]”, and you can restore this data in the same way
as when restoring D12 backup data. However, the data
for tracks 13–16 will not be restored.
When a D16 playable drive is connected to the D12
and you play back a song, or when you use Copy
Song or Restore to load a song, you will need to re-
make fader and pan settings for channels 7/8 if
channels 7/8 were not paired by the mixer settings
of the original song. You will likewise need to re-
register the scenes.
Using a D12 playable drive on the D16V2
When a D12 playable drive is connected to the D16V2,
it will be displayed in the drive list as “D12[P]”, and
you can select and play songs from this drive. How-
ever, the songs will be protected, so it will not be possi-
ble to record or perform track editing or song editing
(except for Copy Song) on these songs. If you wish to
record or edit one of these songs, you must copy it from
the D12 drive to the currently selected drive.
However, it is not possible to copy songs to the D12
drive, or to execute Restore with the D12 drive
specified as the restore destination. If you wish to
initialize or format the D12 drive, select the “Force”
setting.
Using D12 backup data on the D16V2
When a drive containing D12 backup data is connected
to the D16V2, it will be displayed in the Drive List as
“D12[B]”, and can be restored in the same way as
D16V2 backup data.
If you wish to use D12 data on the D16, you must
upgrade the system to version 2 or later.
