DISK MANAGEMENT

Once you have a number of projects saved, it follows that you will want to load them again! You

may also want to initialise the system in order to create a new project from scratch.

LOAD

Pressing DISK will give you this screen:

Here you can see a list of projects on the currently selected disk. As is the convention in file lists,

if there are projects ‘above’ or ‘below’ the screen, an upwards and/or downwards pointing arrow

will be shown ( / ). You may view and load projects on other disks by moving the cursor to the

DISK field and selecting an external drive as appropriate.

To load a project, simply select the one you want and press the flashing EXECUTE key.

As the project is loaded you will see a status bar on the LCD showing you which tracks are being

loaded:

When several machines are connected to the RE32 to expand the total number of tracks available,

the system will behave as if there is a single ‘multi-track’ project containing all of these tracks.

However, in reality each connected machine maintains its own internal project containing data for

the tracks assigned to that machine.

When MULTI is selected in the TRACKS field, the RE32 will tell each connected machine to load

its local project and you will see the status bar change as each individual machine’s project is

loaded on to the corresponding tracks.

In MULTI mode, the system assumes there is a project of the same name available on each

machine on a disk at the same SCSI ID. If one of these individual project files cannot be found, you

will receive a message indicating which tracks failed to load:

Pressing EXECUTE will skip the tracks on the machine that failed to load and continue loading

tracks into the next machine in the system. Pressing EXIT will abort the process and return the

system to its original state.

You can also choose to load a project on a specific machine. To do this, select the appropriate

machine in the TRACKS field. To avoid confusion, the machines are listed by the tracks they

represent. For example, machine 1 may be shown as “1-16”, machine 2 as “17-32” etc..

As each machine is selected, the screen will update to show the list of local projects available on

this machine. As before, to load a project, simply select the one you want and press the flashing

EXECUTE key.
