Before you download

To get the most out of HD24tools, it is highly recommended to read (and bookmark) the online manual.

Your operating system will not recognize HD24 ADAT FST drives, and because of it, it may ask you if you want to initialize or format it. INITIALIZING THE DRIVE WILL OVERWRITE THE SUPERBLOCK OF THE DRIVE AND WILL MAKE IT UNREADABLE IN YOUR HD24 RECORDER ("Invalid Format" error). If you *did* initialize your drive, don't panic. The current version of hd24connect is still able to read these drives. If you need further assistance, let me know.

In Mac versions 0.8.x and 0.9.x, instead of clicking the hd24connect application icon, you will need to click the starthd24connect script that is in the package.

Release Candidates

These are versions which may still contain bugs but considered nearly ready for release. The 1.1.0beta versions are guaranteed safe to be used in read-only mode. All these release candidates include the full high-samplerate support mentioned above.
