Save/Load of Song data

Blinking
<Hint>
The save operations described above (both for using a
single disk and multiple disks) are assumed that backup
disks used are newly formatted and have no recorded
data. It will be ideal to prepare newly formatted "clean"
disks before the save operation, however, there must
be some cases where you have to use disks containing
recorded data or unformatted disks.
See the following notes for such a case.
• If you are going to save to an unformatted disk:
The VF08 recognizes that the disk is "unformatted" after
executing steps 1 through 4 described above, and the
following screen appears.
By pressing the [ENTER/YES] key while holding down
the [RECORD] key, the disk is formatted and the display
shows the screen for selecting the program to be saved,
as described above.
• If you select a program to be saved to the backup
disk which has saved data:
After executing steps 1 through 6 described above, the
display shows the screen for selecting the program to
be saved. You can select from existing programs on
the backup disk and "New PGM".
If you select an existing program and execute the save
operation, the new data overwrites the program (the
existing data is erased). If you select "New PGM", the
data is saved to a newly created program, while other
existing programs are unchanged.
• If you are going to save data to "New PGM" but the
disk does not have enough available space for the
data:
When you select "New PGM", the available disk space
is shown. If you press the [ENTER/YES] key, "Disk Full!"
is shown at the top of the screen and you cannot execute
the save operation. In such a case, you may save data
by overwriting an existing program. If you want to
cancel the save operation, select "Eject" by using the
[JOG] dial and then press the [ENTER/YES] key.
• If you are going to save data to a disk that is used as
the current drive by another digital recorder:
After executing steps 1 through 4 described above,
"Wrong Disk!" is shown and then the screen for
prompting to format the disk shown above appears.
you may format the disk by pressing the [ENTER/YES]
key while holding down the [RECORD] key, or cancel
the save operation by selecting "Eject" and then
pressing the [ENTER/YES] key.
•In the saving operation using more than one disk, if
you use a disk in which save data is already recorded:
When carrying out step 6 above, an existing program
number is shown. In this condition, by using the [JOG]
dial, you can select "Eject", as well as existing programs.
To eject the disk, select "Eject" and press the [ENTER/
YES] key.
If you save data to the disk, select any existing program
and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display shows "Del All" and "Sure?" (blinking) as
below.
Press the [ENTER/YES] key while the above screen is
shown.
All backup data recorded in the disk are erased and
then the save operation starts.
Loading from a single SCSI disk
You can load data using the "Load PGM" menu in
the setup mode. The following procedure shows how
to load song data saved to a single SCSI disk. See the
next section for loading data saved to more than
one SCSI disk.
