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
Maurizio
