Q:
SCSI Sample Transfers with the DJ-70MkII
A:
The DJ-70MkII is now compatible with the SCSI transfer function available in software programs such as, Recycle!™, Transfer Station™, and Samplifier™. This function allows you to transfer Sample data using the SCSI port. This section is meant to provide a few guidelines when performing SCSI Sample transfers.
Basic SCSI Rules There are many variables involved in multiple SCSI device configurations. However, there are some basic rules that need to be followed: * Each SCSI device in a daisy chain configuration should have its own SCSI ID number. * The first and last devices on your SCSI chain should be terminated. Termination can be provided either by an external terminator or internally on some SCSI devices. All other devices in the SCSI chain should not be terminated. Incorrect termination often causes the operating system on most Samplers and/or computers to freeze. * At least one of the devices in a SCSI chain should provide termination power. There should be at least 5 volts supplied to the SCSI line. Most devices, including the DJ-70MKII, do provide termination power. * Never connect or disconnect SCSI devices while they are powered on. You may damage the SCSI device(s) by doing this. Setting up for SCSI Transfers The default SCSI ID setting on the DJ-70MKII is 7, which may conflict with your computer's self SCSI ID. Use the following procedure to change the self SCSI ID on the DJ-70MKII: 1. Press SYSTEM so it is lit. 2. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "SCSI" and press S1. 3. Use the VALUE DIAL to select the desired SCSI ID number. 4. Turn the DJ-70MKII's power off and then on again. SCSI Drives In some cases, SCSI devices that are located between the Sampler and the computer will interfere with direct communication of the two devices. If you experience any trouble with the computer and the DJ-70MkII sending and receiving dumps, remove the drive from the chain and retry the dump. If you are experiencing these problems, you may want to use a SCSI switching device. A SCSI switcher intelligently checks the SCSI buss to see if the initiator(s) on a SCSI chain are scanning the line and waits to change between hosts. This helps avoid lockups and possible directory corruption of a disk drive when the line is switched
