About the VC-2

Memory Structure

Project

The largest unit of memory used by the VC-2 is the project. A project contains up to 448 patches, up to 127 waves, and various system settings.

The VC-2 uses one project at a time.

Work Area/Temporary Area

When the VC-2 starts up, the project data is placed in temporary memory called the work area.

The currently playable patch data is then further placed (from the work area) into a location called the temporary area. This means that even after editing a patch, you can return to the unedited condition by once again recalling that patch.

Since patch data that you edit will disappear if you simply turn off the power, you must save (PATCH Write) it if you want to keep your changes.

You must save the project (DISK Save Project) after you operate wave data in the Wave screen or the Wave Import screen.

Internal Memory / PC Card

Normally, wave and patch data is written to, and read from the internal memory / PC Card.

USB

If you connect the V-Synth XT to your computer via a USB cable, projects data on an internal memory / PC Card can be saved (backed up) to the hard disk or other media on your computer.
