MEMORY MODE (REGULAR MEMORY CHANNEL OPERATION)

MEMORY BANK OPERATION

The large number of memories available in the VX-8Rcould be difficult to utilize without some means of organizing them. Fortunately, the VX-8Rincludes provision for dividing the memories into as many as 24 Memory Banks, so you can categorize the memories in a manner convenient to you. You may enter and exit the “Memory Bank” mode by a single

press of the key, as we shall see below.
