Save/Load of Song data

Loading from an audio CD

You can load a desired song to the VF80 from an audio CD you created by recording on a CD-RW/CD-R disc. When a desired song is loaded, the VF80 automatically creates a new program on the current drive, and the song are recorded on tracks 1 and 2 of the program. Loading data from an audio CD is operated via the “Load PGM” menu in the Setup mode, which is the same way as loading backup data.
