Work Area

Once the V-Synth XT has started up the VC-1, the system program and patch data is loaded from the VC-1 into the V-Synth XT. The section where the system and patch data is loaded is called the Work Area. Content loaded to the Work Area is cleared when the V-Synth XT’s power is turned off.

In addition, banks (containing data for 64 patches) bulk dumped from an original D-50 (or other MIDI device) are also stored temporarily in the Work Area. Bulk dumped data is cleared if the power is simply turned off, so be sure to save the data to the VC-1 (p. 27).

Temporary Area

Patch data selected for performance is further taken from the Work Area and placed in memory called the Temporary Area. Editing of tones and factors is performed on patches in this Temporary Area. Edited patch data is lost if the power is simply turned off, so be sure to save these to the VC-1 (p. 27).
