Subject: all about scsi
Original Message 1/11 21-Nov-02 @ 05:23 AM - all about scsi
First, Does the hard drive in my PC have to be a SCSI hard drive? Second, How important is the transfer rate, would 10mb/sec be groovy?(I found no evidence in the A3000 manual of what it was capable of) Finally, my A3000 has an internal hard drive; How do I make it self-terminating?
Thanks

2. from what I've heard, the A3000 is slow with SCSI, so there's no point in paying the moolah for an ultra wide whatever because the yammie won't use the extra bandwidth.
3. Not really sure. There are probably jumpers on the drive itself. Older SCSI drives usually had 3 long jumpers near the cable connector that terminated the drive. Don't know about newer drives though. check yammie's website (hahaha... it sucks)
Hope this helped.

probably already is. read about it in the manual. if it isnt, theres probably a software setting for it in the sampler's OS

To clarify #1, no you don't have to have a SCSI hard disk in your PC, you can stick with what you have. If you DID have a SCSI hard disk in your PC, then theoretically the Yamaha would be able to access it (and the PC could access the Yamaha's). You should be very careful when doing this. If both the PC and the sampler try accessing the disk at the same time, you could experience anything from slow response to complete and total data loss or corruption.

it is done from RAM. you load your bank up, edit the sounds and send em back to the sampler. storage is done in the sampler
if you wanted a hard drive IN your PC case to store samples it would have to be SCSI.
but youre much better off with using the yammy internal HD...
so no...you dont need a hard drive to edit samples..

All has now become clear.
For the moment.

If you have a SCSI card you're ready to go. Use yamaha's Tiny Wave Editor or Sound Forge etc, to shuffle samples back and forth... remember to turn the write protect "off" on the sampler or other devices won't work with it.

r u sure?... surely you'd load it to the s/w for editing and then just transfer it and store it on the yammy internal drive - why would it matter if the pc drive it was stored on was scsi?

I was thinking if you wanted to save FROM the sampler...in the sampler's format...
but....yeah, youre right! If you are using an editor, then the smaples are just .wav or .aiff and can be stored ANYWHERE
but for banks, programs, whatever...thats a different story and the drive would have to be in the sampler's format, AND scsi if it were going to be in the PC case.
