FORMATTING A DD1000 DISK IN THE DD1500
The format page allows you to format disk in the DD1000 format. I.e.:
This allows you to generate work on the DD1500 and have it play back on a DD1000 (the
DD1000 cannot read disks formatted to the DD1500 format).
Select DD1000 in the FORMAT TYPE field. Only 650Mb or 1.3Gb MO disks with 1024
bytes/sector may be formatted. When a 650Mb disk is formatted, the message DD1000A
will appear on the screen; when a 1.3Gb disk is formatted, the message DD1000B will be
shown. DISK COPY and other disk utilities may be performed with a DD1000 formatted
disk but please note the following:
•
CLEANUP cannot be used on a DD1000 disk.
•
DD1000 disks hold fewer recordings than a DD1500 disk.
If DD1000 compatibility is not important, you should use a DD1500 formatted disk.
SAVING A DD1500 PROJECT AS A DD1000 QLIST
When a DD1500 project is saved to a DD1000 disk, a DD1000 Qlist of the same name is
also automatically created and saved to the disk. This allows you to play simple projects
created on a DD1500 on a DD1000. The DD1500 makes its best attempt to store cues for
playback on the DD1000. It starts at track 1 and then continues until all the tracks are
stored or all 256 DD1000 cues have been used up.
WARNING: If you load a DD1000 Qlist into a DD1500, work on it and then save it again on
the DD1500, you will lose any FADE and MIDI events that may have been on the original
and you will lose all cut names.
It is best to save the project to the DD1000 disk with a different name to prevent this.
This feature allows you to make simple 2- or 4-track projects on the DD1500 and play
them on the DD1000.
NOTE: If you re-load a DD1000 Qlist originally created on a DD1500, it could be that the
track assignments may be incorrect. This is because the DD1000 has no concept of tracks
and so the DD1500 must make a 'best guess' attempt.
