IX. Convert Load

Compatible libraries

The DJ-70/DJ-70MKII can load sounds from Roland’s 700 Series Samplers (S-770, S-750, and S-760) on floppy

disks. These sounds are compatible with the DJ-70mkII through SCSI as well as by floppy disk. Both units can

also gain access to Roland’s S-550 and W-30 Sample library by using the Convert Load function. The DJ-70mkII

can also convert load Akai

S-1000/1100 via SCSI.

Use the following procedure to convert load S-550 or W-30

sounds:

1) Press INDEX.

2) Use the DOWN CURSOR button to highlight “Convert Load” (on the right side of the display) and

press S1. “Please Insert Disk” will be displayed.

3) Insert a S-550 or W-30 sound disk into the floppy disk drive.

4) To convert all Patches and Tones on the disk, use the CURSOR buttons to highlight “Target” and the

VALUE dial to select “All.”

5) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight “Convert All Execute” and press S1. “Clear Internal Memory

Before Loading?” will be displayed.

6) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight “YES” and press S1 to erase any existing sounds from the

internal memory before loading the sounds off of the disk. Highlight “NO” and press S1 to load the

sounds from disk without erasing any currently loaded sounds.

NOTE: It is also possible to convert load individual Patches or Tones from a S-550 or W-30 sound

disk. Simply select “Patch to Patch” or “Tone to Partial” instead of “All” in step 4, use the CURSOR

buttons to highlight the desired Patch or Tone in step 5, and proceed with step 6.

se the following procedure to convert load Akai

S-1000/1100 sounds via SCSI (DJ-70mkII only):

1) Press INDEX, use the DOWN CURSOR button to highlight “Convert Load,” and press S1.

2) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight “Current Drive” and press S1.

3) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the drive containing the Akai

S-1000/1100 Samples (this

procedure will not work the floppy drive) and press S1.

4) Press F2 (AKAI). The DJ-70mkII will scan the drive and display the first Volume on the drive. Akai CD-Roms

are organized into various volumes which are further broken down into partitions.

5) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight “Volume” and the VALUE dial to select the desired volume.

6) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight “Partition” and the VALUE dial to select the desired partition.

7) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the desired sound and press S1. The DJ-70mkII will begin the

convert loading your file(s).

The Convert Load function takes more time than the standard loading procedure. If you save converted

Patches or Tones to a DJ-70 or DJ-70mkII formatted disk before turning the power off, you can avoid having to

convert load these same sounds again.

TIP

X. Installing Memory

The DJ-70 comes equipped with 2Mb of sampling memory which allows 45 seconds of sampling time at

44.1 kHz (90 seconds at 22.05 kHz). You can expand the memory to a total of 4Mb which increases the

available Sample time to 45.3 seconds at 44.1 kHz (90 seconds at 22.05 kHz). The DJ-70 uses standard

SIMMs memory, similar to that used in computers.

The DJ-70MkII also comes equipped with 2Mb of sampling memory which allows 45 seconds of sampling time at

44.1 kHz (90 seconds at 22.05 kHz). You can expand the memory to a total of 32Mb which increases the available

Sample time to 6 minutes at 44.1 kHz (12 minutes at 22.05 kHz). The DJ-70mkII uses standard 8 or 16Mb SIMMs,

similar to that used in computers.

This procedure requires that you open the case of the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII. If you feel uncomfortable with this

operation, you should have a Roland registered technician install the memory for you. For information on Roland

service technicians and compatible SIMMs, refer to page 4 (SCSI Interface).
