R: Re:Yamaha Su700



Hi Gregor
sorry but my English is not perfect, I'm Italian.
If you save a volume on an existing one it takes more time because the disc is fragmented and the files are written in non adiacent sectors on the disc, like an audio file on a computer HD. If you format the disc ( and quick format option is present on the SU700) before saving, you can create a new volume to save your work in less time. Obviously if you need  to save the volume while playing live there is no possibility to speed up your work

i tried the sp808. well, it's a nice machine. the main reason why i didn't buy it was, because the price tag at
that moment was to high for me. the sp808 has some advantages and disadvantages. the main advantage imo
is that it can be used as a sort of portable hard disk recorder, on the other side is the su700 better for live playing.
you have to try it for yourself. what i personally hate is that at the end the things that bother you the most, are the
things you discover when you use a machine for a month.
 
i don't understand you exactly. if i format the disk it takes about 10 min to format it. or does the su700 have "quick
format" function?

Try to format the zip disc or use a new one before saving changes to your volume. It will take less time to save. It's like defragmenting the disc. My unit takes about 10 minutes to save using this trick.
Do you know anything about Roland SP808? Have you ever used it? I'm thinking to change if it works better.
Let me know
