external USB storage media and details on connecting
USB devices, please see "6. Connecting USB devices"
on page 43.
CD-R/RW (Internal and USB)
The OASYS can read and write UDF format CD‐R/RW
disks. For more information, see "CD‐R/RW disks on
the OASYS: UDF and packet‐writing" on page 1086 of
the Parameter Guide.
The OASYS can also play and record audio CDs (CD‐
DA), and read ISO9660 (level 1) CDs.
• Audio CD creation (Disk mode)
You can create audio CDs from WAVE files, using
either internal or USB CD‐R/RW drives.
• Convert to ISO9660 Format (Disk mode)
The native OASYS CD‐R/RW format is UDF, which
allows you to write repeatedly to the same CD.
UDF is a standard format, but you can also convert
such disks to the more common (but less flexible)
ISO9660 format.
Functions available only on the internal
hard disk
• Hard disk recording (Sequencer mode)
You can record and play back audio tracks.
• Audio track editing (Sequencer mode)
You can edit the WAVE files used by audio tracks.
