®ÂØÒÅˆÎ DJ-70/DJ-70MKII Supplemental Notes

SCSI Drives

In some cases, SCSI devices that are located between the Sampler and the computer will interfere with

direct communication of the two devices. If you experience any trouble with the computer and the DJ-70MkII

sending and receiving dumps, remove the drive from the chain and retry the dump.

If you are experiencing these problems, you may want to use a SCSI switching device. A SCSI switcher

intelligently checks the SCSI buss to see if the initiator(s) on a SCSI chain are scanning the line and waits to

change between hosts. This helps avoid lockups and possible directory corruption of a disk drive when the

line is switched. We recommend any of the SCSI switchers made by Glyph Technologies (800) 335-0345.

Software Support for SCSI Transfers with the DJ-70MkII

The following is a list of software programs that support SCSI transfers with the DJ-70MKII:

Recycle!™ (Macintosh and IBM)

Steinberg/Jones

(818) 993-4091

The Steinberg/Jones program Recycle! can transmit and receive Samples to and from the DJ-70MkII via

SCSI. Unlike most Sample editing programs, Recycle! was made to specifically breakdown phrase

Samples into individual beats (multiple Samples) and send them back to the Sampler for playback. This

allows you to control the tempo of the Sample without changing its pitch. Recycle! will create Patches for

the Samples that it sends to the DJ-70MkII .

To work with Recycle!, you must have Opcode MIDI System (OMS) software installed into your computer

(this comes with the Recycle! program). Since the DJ-70MkII is using the Roland S-760’s device

information, you will need to name the DJ-70MkII in OMS as a S-760 (use something like S-760/DJ-1).

Also, make sure that you configure your OMS setup with the DJ-70MkII ’s specific MIDI device ID. Both

the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT of the DJ-70MkII must be connected to the MIDI interface.

Transfer Station™ (Macintosh)

Interval Music Systems

(310) 478-3956

Transfer Station is designed to transfer Samples for various digital Samplers through the Macintosh. The

DJ-70MkII is supported for Sample transfers via SCSI. You must connect both the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT

of the DJ-70MKII to your computer’s MIDI interface. OMS is not required. This program can work with

other MIDI drivers or Transfer Station’s own MIDI driver.

Sampliflier™

Similar to the Transfer Station program, Samplifier is designed for exchanging Samples between a

Macintosh computer and the DJ-70MkII . It uses OMS, so it is necessary to configure the DJ-70MKII as

an S-760 in your OMS setup. Samplifier is a shareware program and can be downloaded from the

following web address: http://www.sonosphere.com/sonosphere/.

For more information, please contact the software manufacturers (phone numbers listed above) or the

Roland Sampler support group at (323) 890-3745.
