ZOOM HD8/HD16 164
If the MIDI IN/OUT connectors are selected for carrying the
control surface mode signals, you can use mass storage mode
and control surface mode simultaneously. This is convenient to
access the HD8/HD16 hard disk while operating DAW
software.
1.
Connect the HD8/HD16 and the computer
with a USB cable.
2.
Select the MIDI IN/OUT connectors for use
with control surface mode, as described in
the section “Selecting the connector to use
for control surface mode” (
→
p.163).
NOTE
If the USB port is selected for use with control surface mode,
the two modes cannot be used simultaneously. In this case,
activating one mode will forcibly terminate the other mode.
3.
Connect the MIDI IN/OUT connectors of the
HD8/HD16 to the MIDI OUT/IN connectors on
the MIDI interface of the computer.
4.
Switch the HD8/HD16 to mass storage mode
or control surface mode.
To use both modes simultaneously, you must first switch the
HD8/HD16 to one of the modes.
5.
Depending on the current mode, proceed as
follows.
● If mass storage mode is selected
Hold down the [SHIFT] key and press pad 2 (CONTROL
SURFACE). At the screen that appears, press the [ENTER]
key so that the pad is lit.
● If control surface mode is selected
Hold down the [SHIFT] key and press pad 3 (USB). At the
screen that appears, press the [ENTER] key so that the pad
is lit.
When both modes are used simultaneously, the display will
give priority to the control surface mode. However, the icon
indicating that the hard disk is in the online state will be shown
on the second line of the display.
5.
To cancel one of the modes, proceed as
follows.
● To cancel mass storage mode
First cancel the online condition at the computer. Then hold
down the [SHIFT] key and press pad 3 (USB). At the screen
that appears, press the [ENTER] key so that the pad goes
out.
The icon indicating the online condition disappears and the
HD8/HD16 operates in control surface mode only.
● To cancel control surface mode
Hold down the [SHIFT] key and press pad 2 (CONTROL
SURFACE). At the screen that appears, press the [ENTER]
key so that the pad goes out.
The HD8/HD16 operates in mass storage mode only.
6.
To return to normal recorder operation,
cancel the current mode so that the main
screen returns again.
