Hey...
I am planning on transferring tracks from my Korg D1600 to Cakewalk Homestudio 2002. Does anyone have an opinion on how best to get it done? I would like to go digital, but all opinions would be appreciated.

Here is MY plan:
Transfer the data as a .WAV file via SCSI to SOMETHING in my computer. Any ideas??? The D1600 can only transport .WAV files thru something called FAT 16 DOS. What is this?! As you can see, I NEED SOME HELP! Thanks!
 
That will work fine, BUT you would need a SCSI adapter on your PC.

Not sure about this, but you could buy a Zip Drive with a SCSI interface, hook it up to the Korg, save the file on a Zip disk and then just transfer it to your HS2002 by having the ZIP drive connected to the PC.

FAT 16 is just a file system used my Microsoft operating systems. Current OS's like Win98,WinME and Win2000 use FAT 32 but can read FAT 16 disks with no problems (FYI Win2000 also uses NTFS).

FAT 16 is the file system to blame for the stupid 8 letter filename + 3 letter file extension system still used by Microsoft operating systems.
