SCSI Transfers with the S-760
Requires System Version 2.20 or above
The S-760 Digital Sampler system has been enhanced to allow transfers of sample data directly from RAM via SCSI. This function requires software on a computer to initiate the transfer. You will need to connect the MIDI IN and OUT of the S-760 to your computer’s MIDI Interface for this procedure.
I. Basic SCSI Rules
Since SCSI devices and initiators have many variables, your particular SCSI setup may vary.
However, here some basic rules to SCSI:
1. SCSI devices should be daisy chained to each other with separate SCSI IDs assigned to each device. Check the manual of your SCSI device for information on how to change the SCSI ID.
2. The SCSI Chain must have termination on both ends. Termination can be provided either by external terminators or internally on the device. It is important that the devices in the middle of the chain be unterminated or you may experience freezing of the sampler and/or computer while scanning, loading or saving.
3. There should be termination power supplied by the storage device. Normally there should 5 volts supplied from the device to the SCSI line. Check the manual for your SCSI device for further information.
4. Be careful never to unplug SCSI cables from your computer or S-760 while they are powered on, or you may damage the S-760, computer or hard drive.
