Save/Load of Song data (VF80EX)

Save/load of Song Data Using a CD-R/RW drive

The save/load operation using a CD-RW/CD-R disc is performed in the following manners.

• Save

You can only a single selected program data to a disc regardless of the program data amount. You cannot save more than one program data even if there are enough disc space.

However, you can save a program data to more than one disc if the data amount is larger than a disc space.

As shown on the right, you can save almost all necessary information such as song data of all tracks (real and additional tracks) and mixer scene data.

The data loading using a CD-R/RW drive is taken place after a “new program” is created in the cur- rent drive (the load destination).

You cannot overwrite an existing program with the loaded data.

The newly created program is numbered the next number to the highest existing program number.

• Creating an audio CD

You can make an audio CD by recording sound data of tracks 1 and 2 between the “Start point” and “End point” to a CD-RW/CD-R disc. It is also possible to record some mastered materials continuously.

• Loading an audio CD data

You can load a material on a (commercial or created) audio CD to a program of the VF80EX.

Audio data is loaded to a “new program” automatically created by the VF80EX, which is the same way as backup data loading. The VF80EX never overwrites the existing program.
