Digital

Muititracker

Quick

Operation

Guide

Welcome

to

the

FD-8

Thank

you

for

choosing

the

Fostex

digital

multitracker

Model

FD-8.

The

FD-8

is

a

digital

multitracker

equipped

with

a

high-performance

eight

input

analog

mixer,

which

enables

eight-track

recording

and

eight-track

playback.

The

FD-8

uses

a

SCSI

removable

disk,

such

as

a

Zip

drive,

EZ

drive,

or

MO

drive,

or

a

fixed

SCSI

disk,

optional

2.5

inch

IDE

internal

hard

disk

as

the

recording

media.

The

FD-8

also

features

high

quality

recording

and

playback,

and

non-destructive

edit¬

ing

thanks

to

digital

recording

technology.

The

superior

tonal

quality

and

easy

opera¬

tion

of

the

FD-8,

compared

to

a

conventional

analog

tape

multitracker,

will

expand

your

creative

musical

world.

Documentation

for

the

FD-8

consists

of

two

parts:

the

Quick

Operation

Guide

(this

book)

and

the

Owner’s

Manual.

The

Quick

Operation

Guide

introduces

you

to

the

basic

opera¬

tions

of

the

multitracker,

including

"Connecting

a

SCSI

drive

and

formatting

a

disk,”

"Initial

recording,”

“Playback,”

“Punch

in/out

recording,”

“Overdubbing,”

“Ping-pong

recording,”

and

"mixdown,”

so

that

you

can

start

using

your

new

recorder

immediately.

The

Owner’s

Manual

provides

you

with

detailed

information

on

the

FD-8’s

many

func¬

tions.

Please

read

both

books

thoroughly

to

make

the

best

use

of

your

FD-8.

And,

be

sure

to

read

the

“Precautions”

and

“Notes

on

Operating

the

FD-8”

in

the

Owner’s

Manual.

Preparation

_

Please

do

the

following

preparation

before

you

start

recording,

playing,

or

editing

on

the

FD-8.

Preparing

recording

media

The

FD-8

is

not

equipped

with

a

recording

medium,

such

as

a

hard

disk.

You

need

to

connect

an

external

SCSI

drive

(MO

drive,

Zip

drive,

EZ

drive,

or

fixed

hard

disk

drive)

as

the

recording

media.

Fostex

does

offers

an

optional

internal

2.5-inch

IDE

hard

disk.

For

more

information

on

removable

SCSI

drives

and

disks

sup¬

ported

by

the

FD-8,

please

refer

to

the

“List

of

the

drives

with

guaranteed

operation”

in

the

Owner’s

Manual.

Be

sure

to

use

a

drive

and

disk

with

operation

guaranteed

by

Fostex.

Prepare

the

following

items.

Select

one

of

the

following

removable

SCSI

drives.

MO

drive

&

MO

disk

EZ

drive

&

Zip

drive

&

Note:

Using

an

MO

drive

may

limit

the

FD-8's

capabilities.

For

more

in¬

formation,

refer

to

the

“Formatting"

section

on

page

7

regarding

the

Record

mode.

*

The

type

of

SCSI

cable

used

to

connect

the

FD-8

differs

depending

on

the

type

of

connected

SCSI

drive.

The

FD-8

is

equipped

with

a

D-sub

25-pin

female

connector

for

SCSI

connections,

which

requires

a

SCSI

cable

with

a

D-sub

25-pin

male

connector

on

one

end.

*

If

your

SCSI

drive

does

not

have

a

built-in

terminator,

you

will

need

a

SCSI

terminator.

*

In

addition

to

the

above

removable

type

SCSI

drive,

the

IDE

hard

disk

or

the

optional

2.5

inch

IDE

hard

disk

can

be

installed

in

the

FD-8.

If

a

optional

2.5'inch

hard

disk

is

to

be

used,

the

Fostex

Service

Station

will

do

the

installation

on

the

FD-8.

For

details,

please

inquire

at

your

nearest

Fostex

service

Station.

<Notes

on

handling

SCSI

drives

and

disks>

A

SCSI

drive

and

its

disk

are

made

of

precision

parts.

Follow

the

instructions

below

when

you

handle

them.

*

Do

not

drop

them

or

cause

a

strong

impact.

*

Do

not

expose

them

to

strong

vibration.

*

Do

not

expose

them

to

substantial

changes

in

temperature

or

humidity.

*

Do

not

locate

them

in

a

dusty

place.

*

Do

not

expose

them

to

water.

*

Do

not

place

them

near

any

device

that

generates

a

strong

magnetic

field.

Malfunction

or

misuse

of

the

unit

may

erase

the

data

recorded

on

SCSI

disks.

We

recommend

that

you

save

important

recordings

to

Fostex

will

not

be

FOStBX

Connecting

a

SCSI

drive

to

the

FD-8

Connect

your

SCSI

drive

to

the

SCSI

connector

on

the

rear

panel

of

the

FD-8.

Refer

to

the

following

“Notes

on

connection”

and

connect

the

drive

correctly.

<Notes

on

connection>

*

Before

making

connections,

make

sure

that

both

FD-8

and

the

SCSI

drive

are

turned

off.

*

Up

to

two

SCSI

drives

can

be

connected

to

the

FD-8

SCSI

connector.

Normally,

for

real

time

record/playback,

one

SCSI

drive

is

connected

for

the

current

drive

(Refer

to

“Setup

of

ID

number”

below).

You

can

connect

two

drives

if

one

is

used

for

the

“current

drive”

and

the

other

for

"backup

(saving

and

loading

song

data)”

(Refer

to

“Setup

of

below).

Refer

to

“Saving

and

Loading

in

the

Setup

of

the

guidelines

below

to

drive(s).

Use

any

number

other

than

“6.”

^

Use

number

“6.”

*

The

SCSI

connector

on

the

FD-8

is

a

25-pin

connector,

compatible

with

Macintosh

computers.

Use

a

cable

with

connectors

that

conform

to

the

standards

for

SCSI

drive

connections.

*

The

last

SCSI

drive

on

the

SCSI

chain

should

be

terminated.

Install

a

SCSI

terminator,

or

turn

the

termination

switch

to

“on”

if

the

drive

has

such

a

switch

(such

as

a

Zip

drive).

As

explained

in

the

above

“Notes

on

connection,”

a

SCSI

drive

as

the

current

drive

and

second

for

backup

can

be

chain

connected

to

the

FD-8

SCSI

connector

but

in

the

“Quick

Guide”

only

a

SCSI

drive

is

connected

with

the

is

carried

out

in

Formatting

(initializing)

a

disk

After

you

make

connection,

follow

the

steps

below

to

format

(initialize)

the

disk

for

use

in

a

SCSI

drive.

The

FD-8

uses

FDMS-3

(Fostex

Disk

Management

System-3)

as

the

recording

format.

To

perform

real

time

recording

and

playback

on

the

FD-8,

you

need

to

format

the

disk

(regardless

of

whether

the

disk

has

been

used).

If

you

format

a

used

disk,

first

make

sure

that

the

disk

does

not

contain

any

important

data.

Formatting

a

disk

erases

all

existing

data.

1

Turn

on

the

power

to

the

connected

SCSI

drive

and

the

FD-8.

If

the

SCSI

connection

has

been

made

correctly,

the

SCSI

drive

will

start

running

and

the

display

on

the

FD-

8

indicates

the

[Initial...]

message,

then

the

[No

(there

is

no

message.

(The

following

example

assumes

that

a

removable

SCSI

drive

is

connected.

If

you

have

connected

an

unformatted

fixed

disk

or

an

optional

Note:

If

the

In

this

case,

turn

off

the

to

both

devices.

Check

to

make

securely

and

that

the

then

turn

If

you

Checking

available

recording

time

on

a

formatted

disk

It

is

a

good

idea

to

check

the

available

recording

time

after

you

format

the

disk.

The

following

procedure

assumes

that

the

FD-8

has

exited

the

ABS

with

access

stopped.

P

ress

the

DISP

key

to

change

from

the

ABS

time

indication

to

the

REMAIN

time

indication.

The

FD-8

displays

the

available

recording

time

and

recording

space

in

ABS

time

base.

This

time

value

indicates

how

many

minutes

of

data

can

be

recorded

on

the

formatted

disk,

and

how

much

of

the

space

on

the

disk

can

be

used

for

recording.

The

REMAIN

time

values

are

based

on

mono

track

recording.

If

you

wish

to

record

on

all

eight

tracks,

you

can

find

out

how

many

minutes

of

a

song

you

can

record

by

dividing

the

REMAIN

time

value

by

“8.”

The

example

at

left

is

the

REMAIN

display

immediately

after

formatting

a

removable

type

disk

in

the

[Normal]

mode.

The

numbers

in

the

display

indicate

For

ex¬

ample,

if

this

is

used

to

record

on

all

8

tracks,

about

11

minutes

can

be

recorded.
