4. SelOperation ................[EjectRMD, CheckDrive,
Initialize, Format, LoadSystem]
Select the operation that you wish to perform on the
drive.
If you press the “ ” button, you will be able to
select from a list.
EjectRMD: The removable disk selected by “Drive
ID” (P4-1) will be ejected.
If the currently selected song is on the removable
disk, it will be locked from the D16, so you should
use this operation to eject it. In other cases, you can
use the eject button of the drive to eject the disk.
(→p.49)
Check Drive: Errors on the drive selected by “Drive
ID” will be detected and repaired. Execute this
command if Disk or Disk Busy error messages
begin appearing frequently. After this command is
executed, song data will still be usable unless major
errors had occurred on the drive.
Significant time is required in order to execute
Check Drive.
Internal drive: approximately 40 minutes
10 GB external hard disk drive: approximately 8
hours
Initialize: The drive selected by “Drive ID” will be
initialized.
Format: The drive selected by “Drive ID” will be
formatted.
LoadSystem: The system will be loaded from the
drive selected by “Drive ID,” rewriting the system.
For details refer to “Updating the system software”
(→p.107).
Connecting an external drive
Here’s how to connect an external drive such as a hard
disk, removable disk, or CD-R/RW.
• Maximum capacity of an external drive that can be
connected: 1,000 Gbyte per drive
• Connector: 25 pin SCSI cable
• Number of drives that can be connected: up to 7
drives
1 Turn off the power of the D16 and of the external
drive.
Before connecting/disconnecting a SCSI cable or
changing the SCSI ID of a drive, make sure that the
power of the D16 and of the drive is turned off.
2 Set the SCSI ID of the external drive.
Set the SCSI ID of a CD-R/RW drive to 6 (displayed
as “G”).
Set the SCSI ID of a hard disk or removable disk to
as low a number as possible.
For details on setting the SCSI ID of a CD-R/RW
drive etc., refer to its owner’s manual.
When connecting two or more drives, set the drive
numbers so that they do not overlap.
If you set two or more drives to the same ID, mal-
functions or loss of data may occur. Never set two
or more drives to the same ID.
3 Connect the [SCSI] connector of the D16 to the SCSI
connector of the external drive.
Connect (or switch on) a terminator for the last
external drive in the chain. Also when connecting
two or more external drives, make sure that the
total length of cable does not exceed 3 meters. (For
details on connections and installation, refer to the
owner’s manual for your external drive.)
For some external drives, insufficient access speed
may cause “skips” in the sound or errors. Please use
external drives that have a sufficiently fast access
speed.
Turning the external drive power on/off
When turning on the power, first turn on the power of
the external drive(s), and then turn on the power of the
D16.
When turning off the power, first turn off the power of
the D16, and then turn off the power of the external
drive(s).
Initializing and formatting a disk
When you initialize or format a disk, all data on
that disk will be lost. Please check the contents of
the disk before you execute these operations.
If the power is turned off accidentally while the
internal drive is being initialized/formatted, the
D16 may be unable to function correctly.
If this occurs, please contact a Korg dealer.
Approximately 40 minutes will be required to for-
mat the internal drive.
The time required to format an external drive will
depend on the media, but several hours may be
required in some cases.
1 Select the drive.
Select the [SYSTEM] “DiskUtil” tab page, and use
“Drive ID
” to select the drive. A drive that has not
been initialized or formatted will be displayed as
“Unknown Drive.”
2 To initialize the drive, use “SelOperation
” to select
“Initialize.” To format the drive, select “Format.”
3 Execute the initialize or format operation.
Press the “Exec.” button. The display will ask
“AreYouSure?” To execute, press the “Yes” button.
When the operation has been completed, the dis-
play will indicate “Completed.” Press “OK.”
Verify that the display has changed from
“Unknown Drive” to correctly indicate the type
and capacity of the drive.
Using a removable disk
A removable disk can be used in the following ways.
• For recording/playback
• For backup/restore
Before a disk is first used for recording/playback, it
must be initialized or formatted (→p.47).
When using a disk for backup/restore, it is not neces-
sary to initialize or format.
