SHARING DISKS BETWEEN AN S6000 AND A MAC/PC

By far the safest way to transfer material between your S6000 and a PC/Mac is to have separate

systems with a compatible removable disk format (e.g. Zip, Jaz, Syquest, MO):

Fig. 1 - Sharing compatible drives

By equipping both systems separately with the same removable drive, cartridges can be exchanged

easily and conveniently.

This offers several practical advantages not least of which is that every time you swap cartridges

and access the drive, the disk directory is refreshed and so you will see an accurate representation

of any changes you made on either system. In fact, this is the recommended configuration if you

plan to exchange data between your sampler and your PC/Mac.

***** IMPORTANT NOTE *****

WHEN SWAPPING A REMOVABLE CARTRIDGE SUCH AS JAZ, ZIP, ETC., AS SOON

AS YOU INSERT THE CARTRIDGE INTO THE S5/6000, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO PRESS

THE ‘UPDATE’ KEY IN LOAD > DISK LIST.

FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DISK ERRORS AND UNRELIABLE OPERATION.

PCs and Macs always update automatically when you insert a cartridge.

Of course, if budget is tight, it may not be possible to duplicate drives for both systems. In this

case, you can share one drive between both systems by disconnecting it from one and attaching

it to the other as necessary.

NOTE: It is not possible to ‘hot swap’ SCSI devices so when disconnecting and connecting a

drive between two systems, be sure that all connected devices (S6000, drive, PC/Mac) are

switched off. Failure to do so may result in damage to the equipment. AKAI professional M.I.

Corp. cannot be held responsible for such damage.
