VA-76 – Disk Save (saving data to disk)

15.3Disk Save (saving data to disk)

In this manual and while designing the VA-76, we tried to make a clear distinction between saving and writing/memorizing data. The terms write/Memorize are used to describe actions that cause certain settings to be saved to an internal memory. Save, on the other hand refers to the act of copying internal memory set- tings to disk.

Save Style

[FUNCTION MENU]→ [Disk] field→ [Save] field→ [Style] field

Save Song

[FUNCTION MENU]→ [Disk] field→ [Save] field→ [Song] field

This page allows you to save the Song that is currently in the VA-76’s Song RAM memory to disk. See page 67 for details.

Save User Program Set

[FUNCTION MENU]→ [Disk] field→ [Save] field→ [User Prg] field

Press the [Name] field if you want to name your Style

Style Name— This is the “internal” name of a Music Style. This name appears on the Master page, the Music Style selection page, etc. It is usually the “mean- ingful” name. Press this field and enter the Style Name. See page 68 for details.

File Name— This is the name the Music Style has on disk and by which the VA-76 recognizes it (its “address”). If you change this name of a Music Style, the Disk Link function no longer finds the Style. Press this field and enter the desired name. See page 68 and page 170 for details.

This function allows you to save all 128 User Programs as a set. This also includes the Scale Tuning memories, One Touch assignments, Preferred Tone, and Disk Link Style assignments. The Size value indicates the capacity required to save the User Program Set to disk, while Free Disk Area tells you something about the remaining disk capacity.
