Floppy Disks
You can save all of the VP1’s internal data to floppy disk for safekeeping. Once you
have saved the data, you can reload all or some of the voices at any time.
■
Saving to disk
The VP1 does not allow you to save selected voices only. In order to save, you must
use the following operation:
•
Save All Data
This operation writes all voice and system data to disk — all 64 voices, together with
the current system data. The VP1 writes this data into a one large file on the disk. A
single (2HD) disk has room enough to store only one such file.
■
Loading from disk
The VP1 supports three different loading methods.
•
Load All Data
Copies all system and voice data from the floppy disk.
•
Load Bank
Copies the selected bank (16 voices) of voice data from the disk into the VP1.
•
Load Voice
Copies voice data for the selected voice only.
Important
•
The only way to load system data from the disk is to execute a Load All Data. This
means that you cannot load system data unless you also load all 64 voices as well.
FYI
•
The size of the saved file (one set of system data and 64 sets of voice data) is approximately
1300K. In other words, each file occupies an entire disk.
•
The maximum length for the filename is eight letters. The “.VP1” extension is automatically
appended to the filename.
