Saving To Internal Drive, Cds, And Usb Media - Korg NAUTILUS 61 AT Operation Manual

Saving to internal drive, CDs, and USB media

Some types of data must be saved to disk
Everything that you create or edit within the NAUTILUS—
sounds, songs, samples, etc.—can be saved to disk, and
backed up on external media.
As described under "Writing to internal memory" on
page 205, some types of data can be written into internal
memory, without using the MEDIA mode Save commands.
Other types of data must be saved to disk before the power is
turned off, or any changes will be lost. This includes Song
and region data from SEQUENCER mode, as well as
SAMPLING mode Multisamples and Samples. In order to
keep this data, you must write it to the internal drive or to an
external USB storage device (hard disks, flash media, CD-
R/RW drive, etc.). When you've come up with settings you
like, it's a good idea to save them, so that you'll always be
able to reload them if desired.
Do not turn off the power for at least 10 seconds after
saving data. This allows the system time to complete the
process, which may continue in the background even
after the disk operation appears to be complete.
Types of media you can use
Internal drive SSD
The internal drive supports the Linux ext3 format.
USB storage media (hard drives, flash media, etc.)
The NAUTILUS supports MS-DOS FAT16 and FAT32
formatted USB storage devices, including drive, removable
disks, and flash media.
Capacity recognized:
FAT32: up to 2 terabytes = 2,000 Gigabytes (GB)
FAT16: up to 4 GB
USB CD-R/RW and DVD drives
NAUTILUS supports three CD-R/RW formats: UDF, CD-
DA (audio CDs) and ISO9660 (level 3).
Standard saving and loading from CD-R/RW drives uses the
UDF format, which allows you to treat CDs much as you
would a hard drive. For more information, see "CD-R/RW
disks on the NAUTILUS: UDF and packet-writing" on
page 950 of the PG.
You can load data from ISO9660 (level 3) discs, but
NAUTILUS does not write directly to ISO9660 format. You
can, however, convert a UDF-formatted CD-R/RW to
ISO9660 format, for easier loading on other systems. For
more information, see "Convert to ISO9660 Format" on
page 731 of the PG.
You can also load data from UDF-formatted DVD-ROMs.
USB Floppy disks
MS-DOS format 3.5 inch 2HD and 2DD floppy disks can be
used. The formatted capacity of the floppy disks will be 1.44
MB (18 sectors/track) for 2HD, and 720 KB (9 sectors/track)
for 2DD.

Media setup
Before saving or loading data, make sure that the desired
drive or USB storage media is selected.
Setup for saving data on the internal drive
1. Press the MODE button to select MEDIA mode.
2. Use Drive Select to select HDD: INTERNAL HD.
Drive Select
Setup for using a USB device
1. Use a USB cable to connect the USB 2.0 connector of
the NAUTILUS to the USB connector of your USB
device (hard disk, removable disk, CD-R/RW).
Note: The NAUTILUS's USB 2.0 connectors support
hot-plugging; you can connect or disconnect the USB
cable while the power is on. However in order to do so,
your USB device must also support hot-plugging.
2. Turn on the power.
3. If you are using a USB hard disk, removable disk, or
CD-R/RW drive, turn on the power of your USB
device and use a USB cable to connect it to the
NAUTILUS's USB 2.0 connector.
Note: The above step assumes that your USB device sup-
ports hot-plugging. If you are using a device that does not
support hot-plugging, connect it with the power turned
off. After plugging it in, turn on the power.
While the NAUTILUS is accessing the USB device, do
not connect another USB device or disconnect the
connected device. Doing so may damage your data.
4. Press the MODE button to select MEDIA mode.
Wait a few seconds to allow USB devices to be
recognized.
5. Use Drive Select to select the desired device.
If you are using a removable disk, insert the media. After
you exchange media in your USB device, press the LCD
screen to make the NAUTILUS detect the media. When
the media has been detected, the LCD screen will display
information about the media.
6. If the media needs to be formatted, execute the
Format operation.
Media requiring formatting is indicated as Unformatted
in Drive Select. For more information, see "Formatting
media" on page 211.
