4 Version 1.30

NEW FEATURES /

‘SOFT’ DISK EJECT

When swapping removable media and disks, it has been

essential

to use the UPDATE function in

the DISK LIST page and failure to do so has been responsible for many problems. In previous

versions, when a disk was ejected, its directory remained in the sampler’s CPU memory. When a

new disk was subsequently inserted, without pressing UPDATE, the sampler had no knowledge

that the disk had been changed at all and so any attempts at disk access (saving, loading, playback

of virtual samples, etc.) or even other operations could cause problems because the sampler had

a different directory to the one on the disk.

This has been radically overhauled in V1.30 and the DISK LIST page now looks something like

this:

Whilst it may look superficially similar to before, the EJECT DISK function on F12 allows you to

eject the disk from the sampler itself (much like ejecting a disk on a Mac by dragging it into the

wastebasket). In this way, the sampler ‘knows’ that the disk has been removed and the directory is

flushed from its CPU memory. When another disk is subsequently inserted, the new AUTO SCAN

feature detects the new disk and updates automatically.

When removable media is inserted into drives connected to the S5/6000, they are ‘locked’ (indicated

by the padlock icon) and cannot be ejected from the drive’s own front panel (much like on a Mac).

To eject the disk, you must enter the DISK LIST page, select the disk you want to eject and press

F12. This will physically eject the disk from the drive. The sampler will then re-scan the SCSI bus

to see what’s there and you you will see a dialogue window, after which the selected drive will be

shown as “Empty”. Assuming the DISK AUTO SCAN function is enabled in UTILITIES/SYSTEM,

re-inserting the disk (or another) will cause an automatic scan of the bus and the sampler will

automatically update the latest disk directory into it’s CPU memory.

As a result of these improvements, there is no need to press UPDATE (F11) every time you swap

disks around as this is taken care of automatically.

NOTE: The UPDATE function

must

be used when swapping disks if the DISK AUTO SCAN

function is switched OFF in UTILITIES/SYSTEM.

You will note that floppy disks are not affected by this function.
