Introduction

Provides multiple file transfer formats

The FST/Connect software allows you to move data to and from

an FST hard drive in the four most widely used formats: wav

(Wave), aif (Audio Interchange File), sd2 (Sound Designer™ 2),

and dig/sd (Sound Designer 1). There is also an option to export

tracks to the PC as 16-bit files.

Support for multiple FirePort 1394 systems

Up to four FST hard drives can be connected to your PC at the

same time through four separate FirePort 1394 systems and

FST/Connect. All you need to do to take advantage of this

capability is to “daisy-chain” four FirePort 1394 systems (each has

two FireWire ports to facilitate this), or you’ll need an interface

card for your PC with as many as four external FireWire ports. A

combination of direct and chained FirePorts is fine, too, as long as

you don’t exceed a total of four systems.

99 Projects, 99 Songs

The hard drives available to the consumer have become larger and

cheaper with each passing day. But previously, the maximum

number of songs you could record on one FST hard drive was 64,

so it was difficult to fill up an 80-gigabyte drive, for example

(unless the length of every song was over 5-1/2 minutes, on

average).

Now the good news: with file system 1.10 on your FST drive and

HD24 OS version 1.10, you have the ability to keep track of 99

Projects, each containing 99 Songs. That makes for a grand total

of 9,801 songs possible on one hard drive! Even the most prolific

songwriters among us would be hard pressed to run out of room.

Another use for the Project function could be to keep the songs

of different clients all together, without the need for a separate

hard drive for each.

FirePort 1394 and FST/Connect will allow you to take full

advantage of today’s larger hard drives. And with a maximum

possible hard drive size of 2.2 Terabytes, the FirePort is fully

prepared for the future.

Track Preview

With the proper sound card installed in your PC, tracks of any

sample rate may be previewed individually from the PC or directly

from the FST drive. This is helpful in determining ahead of time

which track or set of tracks you would like to transfer into the PC

for editing, or transfer back into the FST drive for mixdown.

Your HD24 must be equipped

with OS version 1.10 or

higher to take advantage of

all of the features offered by

ST 1.10 and FST/Connect.
