25 - DD1000 DISK COMPATIBILITY

DD1000 DISK COMPATIBILITY
The DD1500 can read and use disks made on the Akai DD1000 and it is possible to play
Qlists created on a DD1000 directly on the DD1500

LOADING DD1000 QLISTS

The LOAD PROJECT page has a new field. When you select a drive that has a DD1000
disk in it or insert a DD1000 disk into the current drive, when you enter the LOAD
PROJECT page a new field TYPE: DD1500 appears. To load a DD1000 Qlist, you should
change this field to TYPE: DD1000 QLIST. I.e.:
The screen will show a list of DD1000 Qlists which you may load as normal.
When the Qlist is loaded, the DD1500's project deals with overlapping cuts and track
output assignments using two schemes. If cuts use different outputs (for example, a
mixture of outputs A, B or AB, the following track assignments will be used:
If all the cuts use the same outputs (for example, all cuts are assigned to output A), the
following track assignments will be used on the DD1500's project. For example:
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
Track 4
The cuts are assigned to tracks 1+2/3+4 in a similar way to the manner in which the
DD1000 assigns cuts to voices. In other words, where cuts in a DD1000 Qlist overlap,
whereas on the DD1000 they will play correctly (owing to the DD1000's 'voice'
assignment), on the DD1500, they will be placed on adjacent tracks so as to play correctly.
7 Please note that it is not possible to play DD1000 'songs' on the DD1500 unless they have
been converted into Qlists. Likewise, DD1000 playsheets cannot be used on the DD1500.
