7. DISK COMMANDS • The data transfer test will take as long as actually writing to the disk, but since a CD-R disk will become unusable if an error occurs while actually writing to it, it is advisable to run the test to check for potential errors before actually writing the data. Knob 5 [ Press] EXEC&CONT (Execute & Continue) Press this knob to call the backup confirmation display. Press Knob 5 (YES) to actually execute the backup operation. CD-DA [DISK] Button → [COMMAND/EXIT] Button → Knob 1 to highlight display line 2 → Press Knob 3 Writes samples stored on disk to CD-R or CD-RW disk to produce an audio CD. • In order to use this function an appropriate CD-R or CD-RW drive must be connected to the A5000/A4000 SCSI bus. • CD-RW disks are written using the "Disk at Once" method, so once a disk has been written, further data cannot be written to that disk. • CD-R and CD-RW disks can only be written to from disks formatted by the A5000/A4000. • Use a Yamaha CD-R/CR-RW drive such as the CRW4416SX to write CD-R/CD-RW disks. • Errors may occur if you attempt to write to a CD-R or CD-RW disk while a computer is connected to the sampler's SCSI bus. • A sufficient amount of parameter memory must be available in the sampler in order to use this function. Ideally, the CD-DA function should be used after turning the unit's power on, and before any data has been loaded or recorded. • Only samples having a 44.1 kHz sampling frequency can be written to CD-R/CD-RW. • Samples digitally recorded to the A5000/A4000 from commercial CDs in a CD player cannot be written to CD-R/CD-RW. • Use the BACKUP RW-ERASE function to erase data from a recorded CD-RW disk. [Operation] 1. Use Knob 4 to specify the CD-R drive ID. 2. Use Knob 5 to set the write speed. 3. Use Knobs 3 and 5 to specify the samples to be backed up for each track (Knob 2) 4. Use Knob 1 (EXEC) or Knob 5 (EXEC&CONT) to initiate execu- tion. When the confirmation display appears, press Knob 5 (YES) to execute the CD-DA operation. • If Knob 1 (EXEC) is used to execute the CD-DA command, the command menu will be recalled after execution has finished. If Knob 5 (EXEC&CONT) is used to execute the command, the CDdisplay will be retained so you can continue and write to other CDR/CD-RW disks.

[ Press] EXEC (Execute) Press this knob to call the CD-DA confirmation display. Press Knob 5 (YES) to actually execute the CD-DA operation. Knob 4 [ Turn] CDR DriveID Selects the drive ID of the CD-R or CD-RW drive to which the samples are to be written. When a CD-R or CD-RW drive is selected, the drive's maker and product number will be displayed. [Range] SCSI 0 - SCSI 7 • If a connected CD-R or CD-RW drive cannot be selected, go to the disk select display (DISK-DISKDisk) and check the mount/unmount status and SCSI ID settings of the device (page 173). [ Press] TEST Executes a data transfer test for the selected CD-R or CD-RW drive. A disk must be loaded in the drive before the test can be initiated, but no data will be written to the disk. • If the test produces an error, choose the next slowest write speed (Knob 5) and run the test again. The write speed setting is appropriate if the test produces no errors. Use the error-free write speed when actually writing to a disk. • The data transfer test will take as long as actually writing to the disk, but since a CD-R disk will become unusable if an error occurs while actually writing to it, it is advisable to run the test to check for potential errors before actually writing the data. Knob 5 [ Turn] Write Speed Selects the CD-R/CD-RW write speed. [Range] x1, x2, x4, x6, x8 [ Press] EXEC&CONT (Execute & Continue) Press this knob to call the CD-DA confirmation display. Press Knob 5 (YES) to actually execute the CD-DA operation. 184 Chapter 7 DISK Mode • A5000/A4000 q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
