22 - SYSTEM - DISK
Pressing F5/F6 initiates the COPY process. You will receive this prompt:
The selected source and the target disks are shown. The EXECUTE key's LED will flash
and you should respond accordingly, pressing EXECUTE to confirm or EXIT to cancel.
During the copying process, the bottom line of the LCD will show something like this
display:
A highlighting display will move across the bottom of the LCD as the file is copied. The
copying process is approximately 2-4 times faster than real-time (i.e. a 12 minute piece of
audio will take between 6 and 3 minutes to copy). The time it takes to copy depends on
the speed of the disks you are using (i.e. MO to MO is going to take longer than a hard
disk to hard disk copy) and the nature of the files you are copying (e.g. one single 12
minute piece of audio is likely to get copied faster than but 48 x 15 second cues).
At any time, you may press the EXIT key to abort the copy and the whole process will be
cancelled.
NOTE: In order to prevent you having an incomplete project on the destination disk, the
project selected for copying is erased from the destination disk along with all associated
audio when you press EXIT. This may take a second or two.
If you try to copy a project or library to another disk and a project or library of exactly the
same name exists on the target disk, you will receive this prompt:
As this will erase the project and all its audio on the target disk, you are given a second
level of prompting for safety's sake:
The EXECUTE key will flash and you should respond accordingly pressing EXECUTE to
proceed and EXIT to cancel but please be careful because, as the prompt advises, it is
not possible to undo this action.
The same process is used for disk duplication.
You may leave the COPY FILE page at any time by pressing EXIT.
