SCSI Interface (DJ-70mkII)
The DJ-70MKII has a SCSI interface socket. You can connect up to 7 SCSI devices (hard drives, CD-Rom drives,
etc.) to this socket. It is also possible to use removable drives such as Syquest
drives. The DJ-70MKII has a format capacity of up to 600Mbyte. You can connect a CD-Rom drive and gain
access to the Roland S-700 series CD-Rom library of sounds as well as the numerous CD-Rom titles available
f
rom third party manufacturers.
NOTE: DJ-70 owners interested in SCSI modifications should contact Lion's Tracs (Italy) at 011-39-473-220847.
You can also fax them at 011-39-473-220879.

Formatting an External SCSI Drive
To use an external SCSI drive you must first format it for use with the DJ-70MKII (except for CD-Rom drives). Use
t
he following procedure to format an external drive:
NOTE: The format procedure will erase any existing data on the drive. Be sure you have backed up any
important data on the drive you are formatting, or that you are using an empty drive/cartridge.
1) Make sure that the power for the DJ-70MKII and any external SCSI devices is turned off. To avoid damaging
the DJ-70MKII and/or any external drives, it is important to shut the power off for all devices in the SCSI chain
when connecting or disconnecting SCSI cables (for more information on SCSI guidelines, see page 12).
2) Turn on the power for the external drive(s) then, turn on the power for the DJ-70MKII.
3) Press DISK so it is lit.
4) Press F5 (Utility).
5) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Current Drive" and press S1.
6) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the ID number (to the left of the equal sign) of the drive you wish to
format and press S1. Drives are identified by their SCSI ID number. For example, if you are trying to format a
hard drive that is set to SCSI ID #5, that drive would be displayed as "ID5 = ID5: Unformatted."
7) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "HD / MO Format" and press S1 to start formatting the drive. When the
DJ-70mkII is done formatting the drive, it will return to the Disk Utility screen.
How to Load Data from a SCSI Device
Use the following procedure to load a Patch from an external SCSI device:
1) Turn the power on for all devices in your SCSI chain (the DJ-70MKII should be powered on last).
2) Press DISK so it is lit .
3) Press F3 (Load A/B).
4) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "SCSI" and press S1.
5) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the ID number (to the left of the equal sign) of the drive containing the
data you wish to load and press S1.
6) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Target" and use the VALUE dial to select "Patch" (other options are
Volume, Performance, Partial, Sample, Partial PRM, Patch PRM, Performance PRM, and Song).
7) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the desired Patch and press S1. The DJ-70MKII will begin loading that
Patch as well as the Partial and Sample data associated with that Patch.
Assigning a Name to an External SCSI Device
The DJ-70MKII allows you to assign a custom name to each SCSI device. This can be very convenient when you
a
re using multiple SCSI drives. Use the following procedure to assign a name to a SCSI device:
1) Press DISK so it is lit.
2) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the currently selected drive (located in the upper right corner of the
display) and press S1. SCSI devices will be indicated by their SCSI ID number.
3) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the current name (to the right of the equal sign) of the drive you wish to
rename and press S1. For example, a formatted hard drive set to SCSI ID #2 may be displayed as
"ID2 = ID2: DJ-70 HD."
