Saving/loading data using SCSI
You can save/load song data using a SCSI backup disk.
Normally a backup SCSI disk should be formatted by the backup format (for backup use only). You can also
save data to or load data from a WEV file on a SCSI disk formatted by the DOS format (for computer use). Since
song data written in a WAV file can be read by a computer, as well as can be loaded to the VF-16, you can use
the data with a music software.
Connecting to an external device
Connect the unit's SCSI connector (half pitch 25-pin
type for Macintosh) to an external SCSI device.
Before connecting to a SCSI device, read the following
notes carefully.
<Notes>
• Make connection with the power turned off.
• You can connect only one SCSI device via the SCSI
connector of the VF-16.
When connecting a external SCSI device to the unit,
insert a SCSI terminator to the other (unused) SCSI
connector of the device. Or, if the device provides a
switch that switches the SCSI termination, set it to
ON.
• There is no limitation for the ID number of the
backup SCSI device. The unit automatically
recognizes the device as a backup SCSI device.
• You must format the disk used with the backup SCSI
device after connecting the device.
See "Formatting a backup disk" below for the detail
information.
Formatting a backup disk
You can use an unformatted disk or disk currently
used for a computer, etc.
When formatting a disk currently used for a
computer, make sure that you do not need the data
recorded on the disk. Once you start formatting, you
cannot stop or cancel formatting. The following
procedure assumes that a removable disk is used.
<Notes>
• A write-protected disk cannot be used. Release the
protection before using.
• The disk formatted by the VF-16 can be used for
saving/loading by the FDMS-3.
The VF-16 cannot DOS-format a disk for saving/
loading by a WEV file. So, to DOS-format a disk, use
a personal computer, etc.
1. After connecting a backup SCSI device to the VF-16,
turn on the both machine.
2. Insert a backup disk into the SCSI device.
3. Press the [SETUP] key to enter the Setup mode.
The display shows the screen for selecting the Setup
menu.
4. Use the [JOG] dial to select "Disk Format" and press
the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display shows the screen for selecting a drive.
"IDE" (E-IDE hard disk) flashes.
5. Use the [F FWD] key to make "SCSI" flash and press
the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display shows the name of the SCSI device
connected, and "Sure?" flashes.
6. While holding down the [RECORD] key, press the
[ENTER/YES] key.
The unit starts formatting the backup disk.
When formatting is completed, "Completed!" appears
on the screen.
7. Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or the [STOP] key) repeatedly
until exiting the Setup mode.
A backup SCSI disk is formatted and ready to be
used for data saving/loading by the FDMS-3.
If you continue to format another disk, remove the
current disk and repeat the procedure above.
To remove a disk, press the [EJECT] key on the SCSI
device.
<Note>
You can save (load) scene memories and scene event
memories only to (from) a FDMS-3 formatted SCSI disk.
Scene memories and scene event memories can be saved
or loaded when using a SCSI device (except WAV).
