The DJ-70/DJ-70MKII can load sounds from Roland's 700 Series Samplers (S-770, S-750, and S-760) on floppy disks. These sounds are compatible with the DJ-70mkII through SCSI as well as by floppy disk. Both units can also gain access to Roland's S-550 and W-30 Sample library by using the Convert Load function. The DJ-70mkII can also convert load Akai® S-1000/1100 via SCSI. Use the following procedure to convert load S-550 or W-30 sounds:


1. Press INDEX.
2. Use the DOWN CURSOR button to highlight "Convert Load" (on the right side of the display) and press S1. "Please Insert Disk" will be displayed.
3. Insert a S-550 or W-30 sound disk into the floppy disk drive.
4. To convert all Patches and Tones on the disk, use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Target" and the VALUE dial to select "All."
5. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Convert All Execute" and press S1. "Clear Internal Memory Before Loading?" will be displayed.
6. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "YES" and press S1 to erase any existing sounds from the internal memory before loading the sounds off of the disk. Highlight "NO" and press S1 to load the sounds from disk without erasing any currently loaded sounds.
NOTE: It is also possible to convert load individual Patches or Tones from a S-550 or W-30 sound disk. Simply select "Patch to Patch" or "Tone to Partial" instead of "All" in step 4, use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the desired Patch or Tone in step 5, and proceed with step 6.

Use the following procedure to convert load Akai® S-1000/1100 sounds via SCSI (DJ-70mkII only):


1. Press INDEX, use the DOWN CURSOR button to highlight "Convert Load," and press S1.
2. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Current Drive" and press S1.
3. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the drive containing the Akai® S-1000/1100 Samples (this procedure will not work the floppy drive) and press S1.
4. Press F2 (AKAI). The DJ-70mkII will scan the drive and display the first Volume on the drive. Akai CD-Roms are organized into various volumes which are further broken down into partitions.
5. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Volume" and the VALUE dial to select the desired volume.
6. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Partition" and the VALUE dial to select the desired partition.
7. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the desired sound and press S1. The DJ-70mkII will begin the convert loading your file(s).
The Convert Load function takes more time than the standard loading procedure. If you save converted Patches or Tones to a DJ-70 or DJ-70mkII formatted disk before turning the power off, you can avoid having to convert load these same sounds again.
