I have a Korg Trinity Pro X, with the Hdr-tri Card. Connected to my Korg, I have an external SCSI HD. I use my Korg for secuencing my songs, using multi traks. I like toadd voices, guitars, etc. to the secuences using the HDR-TRI 4 tracks, and I record it to the hard disk. Then, I connect korg left and right output to my PC, between the sound card, using the Samplitude soft warte. Then, I export the file like .WAVE, and I record it in a CD. Up to here, all OK, the result is not bad (I´m just an amateur), but is not optimal either. Now, attempt to connect in same disc SCSI to the PC (provided of course with a SCSI interface), but to grief that when start my PC recognizes the disc and bios SCSI, I do not have access to the hard disk. It does not appear to me as disc D: or something else. I think the problem is in the partitions that Trinity forces me to make, which can be incompatible with the partitions that must demand Windows 98 Second Edition (that is what my PC uses). Have somebody any idea to solve this problem? And if it does not have solution, How I can improve the recording? Via MIDI, I can record the 4 analogic channels? Another alternative?
Another question. I bought the Di-tri option, which supposes digital connection ADAT. I´ve never use it, and the instructions are not very explicit, as far as their alternatives. To what I can connect it? Only to a DAT? It can be connected to a conventional CD -R? How? is necessary some interphase or something like that? As if the previous thing outside little, Di-tri I have not installed it. I saw in the Web (Trinity Heaven), that is easy to install it. It says that there is to start off removing the lower deck, but I don´t dare to do it, since not as they are the screws that I must remove. You have done it? Since one becomes? You advise it? I have disarmed PC`s, installed plug and plays, and believe that I could do it, but with the Trinity I do not dare without a little but of information.
Please, sorry about muy english

The Trinity can only read FAT parttitions, that are smaller than 530 MB. Moreover it is recommended that the Trinity formats the disk because the Trinity write some "Korg Header" onto the FAT partition.

Regarding the audio tracks, they are in a dedicated partition, not recognized by Windows (and nobody, except Korg, knows its format). It is thus impossible to extract the audio data from the hard-disk (as some guys did for the Roland VS-880)

I suggest you buy a small external SCSI device (ZIP, hard disk) that you format on the Trinity and swap it between your PC and your Trinity.

Hello Xavier,
when you say, swap it between your PC and Trinity, do you mean, to connect the HD to the PC?
I thought it coulnt be done.

Also, please dont ever go for zip. ITs total junk! I used this for my Trinity V3 and it worked ok, then I lost all my M1 sounds big time!!

What I do, is to use the Digital output of the trinity, and record or say Master all the Sequencer tracks Plus the Four Audio Tracks to a Stand alone CD burner.
Im using the Marantz Cd burner, and it works like a charm. Everything is Kept in the digital domain.

Yes it could be done: the Trinity "files" partition is in FAT format and fully accessible by a PC: I have an external HD I use for my Trinity+ When I've downloaded new stuff, I connect it to my PC via the SCSI card and fill the hard disk with the new data. Then I reconnect the HD to my Trinity.

That's what I call "swapping a SCSI device between a PC and a Trinity"

Thanks Xavier!!! That is awsome!!!

I just found out also from another Trinity buddy, that there is a swith that sell to just press when switching from PC to trinity, that way you dont have to unconnect your PC or the Trinity from the drive. Pretty cool heh?
I think its called SCSI switcher....
If i find out more I will let you know;...

best,
