Save/Load of Song data (VF80EX)

<Hint>

To play back a desired loaded track on the current drive, carry out the following operation depending on the load type.

To play back a track loaded with the type set to "One":

1.Select the appropriate program to which the track to be played back is loaded by following the procedure below. (See "Selecting a program" on page 62 for details about how to select a program.)

1-1. Press the [TRACK EDIT/PGM] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key.

1-2. Use the [JOG] dial (or the [CURSOR /] keys) to highlight the appropriate program.

1-3. Press the [ENTER/YES] key.

2.Press the [PLAY] key to start playback of the track.

To play back tracks loaded with the type set to "Select" or "All":

1.Select the destination program by following the same procedure as step 1 above.

2.Select a desired track in the program by using the [LOCATE ] or [LOCATE ] key while the recorder is stopped or during playback.

Because all the tracks loaded take part in the same program, you have to select a track within the program.

The VF80EX automatically set a mark at the beginning of each track loaded with the type set to

"Select" or "All", so pressing [LOCATE ] or [LOCATE ] key locates to the beginning of the previous or next track, as with a typical CD player on the market (see "Mark function" on page 32 for details).

3.Press the [PLAY] key to start playback of the track.

To check marks, press the [SCENE SEQ./MAP] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key while the recorder is stopped. The display shows the mark map, allowing you to check the mark positions (in the screen example below, the time base is set to "Bar/Beat/Clk").
