Chapter 6 MIDI, SCSI, and Sample Dumps
MIDI, SCSI, and Sample Dumps SCSI Guidelines Chapter 6 MIDI, SCSI, and Sample Dumps SCSI Guidelines The following sections contain information on using SCSI with the K2600, as well as speciÞc sections dealing with the Mac and the K2600. Disk Size Restrictions The K2600 accepts hard disks with up to 2 gigabytes of storage capacity. If you attach an unformatted disk that is larger than 2 gigabytes, the K2600 will still be able to format it, but only as a 2 gigabyte disk. If you attach a formatted disk larger than 2 gigabytes, the K2600 will not be able to work with it; you could reformat the disk, but thisÑof courseÑwould erase the disk entirely. Conﬁguring a SCSI Chain Here are some basic guidelines to follow when conÞguring a SCSI chain: 1. According to the SCSI SpeciÞcation, the maximum SCSI cable length is 6 meters (19.69 feet). You should limit the total length of all SCSI cables connecting external SCSI devices with Kurzweil products to 17 feet (5.2 meters). To calculate the total SCSI cable length, add the lengths of all SCSI cables, plus eight inches for every external SCSI device connected. No single cable length in the chain should exceed eight feet. 2. The Þrst and last devices in the chain must be terminated. There is a single exception to this rule, however. A K2600 with an internal hard drive and no external SCSI devices attached should have its termination disabled. If you later add an external device to the K2600Õs SCSI chain, you must enable the K2600Õs termination at that time.

SCSI Interface Hard Disk Drives Stock Nos
SCSI Interface Hard Disk Drives Stock Nos. 192-0472 and 192-0488 Installation Orientation Figure 1. The drive may be installed in one of three orientations; either PCB down or on either edge. Inclination from vertical or horizontal should not exceed 5¡. Mounting screw fixing Figure 2. When the mounting screw holes on the side of the drive are used, then use only the two pairs of outer holes. Do not use the centre holes in conjunction with only one of the outer holes. The screw must not penetrate the drive by more than 4 millimetres. Grounding Sufficient grounding will be provided for correct operation when the drive is screwed into an electrically grounded frame. Cooling Figure 3. Allow space above and below the drive to provide for adequate air flow. Fan cooling is recommended. The disk enclosure temperature, measured at top centre, should A never exceed 60¡C. Termination A. Temperature measurement point A terminating resistor should be installed at both ends of the SCSI bus. When shipped from the factory, this drive is terminated. If the drive is to be used in the middle of the SCSI cable with other terminated devices at the ends, or if external termination is to be used, then the terminating resistor pack on the drive must be removed.

Troubleshooting the DM-80-R and SCSI Drives
® Supplemental S-760 Clinic ®ÂØÒÅˆÎ Notes May 10, 1996 “The Roland S-760 Demystified” AS SEEN IN KEYBOARD MAGAZINE The S-760 Digital Sampler is probably one of the most complex musical instruments Roland has ever designed. Because of this, sampler novices and in some cases hardcore sampler users find the S-760 difficult to grasp. Unfortunately for the new user, the manual that comes with the S-760 is more for reference than for basic instruction. So a lot of musicians who are new to Roland’s architecture are likely to be confused by the rudiments of Roland samplers and miss out on the S-760’s power and flexibility. Even though the S-760 can be used from the front panel, its real muscle comes from the CRT and mouse interface. In this article I’ve focused on using this more than the front panel. If you don’t have the OP-760 option board, don’t panic: We’ll cover some front-panel editing as well. 700 Series Architecture Before we can get into instructions on how to use the S-760, it is crucial that you get an idea of the Roland Sampler architecture. As on all samplers, the most basic unit in the S-760’s architecture is the sample. A sample on the S-760 can not be played multimbrally over MIDI until it is placed into a Partial, that Partial is assigned to a Patch, and the Patch is assigned to a part in a Performance. Luckily there are some shortcuts to creating Patches and Performances, as we’ll see.
