korg d1200 problem

[SANDWASH]

I was playing back one of my recorded songs on my d1200 when it suddenly started skipping. then a dialog box appeared stating 'disk busy.'

i tried looking up the problem in the manual, and there i found that i have to access the 'check disk' option. i chose 'curSong', and even 'full' (not to mention having optimized the track). but still, my song skips. i did not back it up or anything as i don't have a computer.

please help. the song is really important and my band has been working on it for 7 months. it would be very painful having to re-record the song.

plus, i want to know if this problem will spill onto the other songs in the bank. i haven't played any of my other songs in the machine after the problem, for fear that the glitch would spread or something.

i'd appreciate any reply.
thx.

I just ran a check in my manual for the Yamaha 2816 and under a display message that says: "DISK BUSY," here is what my manual says.

"The reading speed of the internal hard disk is not fast enough, or the reading speed has slowed down because the recorded data has become FRAGMENTED."

I'm just going to take a guess that you might want to DEFRAG your recorder and then see what happens.

I am assuming that our units do have similarities even though they are different units.

Hope this helps you out.

Have you checked out the d12 forum?

Sounds like the place to be for issues like this.

thanks for the info, dude.

the problem is, i've done everything i can and the recorder still won't play the fucking song properly! the glitch is somewhere in the middle of the song. but everywhere else, before the glitch and after it, the song is fine.

sigh. i hate technical difficulties! incidentally, that's why i decided to post here instead of at korgstudios.com. the folks here seem to know their stuff better than anyone else.
