Save/Load of song data
You can save or load song data (including audio and setup data) using a digital audio recorder via the S/P DIF
digital signal, as well as using a optional CD-RW drive (Model CD-1A).
This function allows you to save finished or unfinished song data to a digital recorder or a optional CD-RW
drive, and load the data later.
******About song data******
There are two methods of saving/loading song data depending on the digital signals used to handle the
data, which are S/PDIF digital and CD-RW drive. The data format and time required for the save/load
operations are different between each method.
•Using the S/PDIF digital signal (you can save/load data for each program individually.):
Following to five seconds of the pilot signal (shown in gray in the diagram below), the song data is output to an
external digital audio device such as a DAT recorder.
The audio data is divided into data blocks of track pairs (shown in black in the diagram below) and transferred.
To save data for Real tracks 1 through 8, 4 two-track data are transferred. To save all tracks including the Additional
tracks in addition to the Real tracks, 12 two-track data are transferred. Therefore, it will take about 4 times as much
as the recorded time of a program (from ABS 0 to REC END) to save the Real tracks 1 through 8 of the program, while
it will take about 12 times to save all the data including the Additional tracks.
When loading song data from the external device to the VF80 via the S/PDIF digital signal, data is transferred with
two-track data blocks, as with the same way as saving data from the VF80 to the external device. (See also <Notes>
on the next page.)
•Using a CD-RW/CD-R disc (you can save/load data for each program individually.):
See the following <Note>.
When using a CD-RW/CD-R discs, all audio data including both the Real and Additional tracks (shown in black in
the diagram below) is transferred simultaneously. Therefore, you can save or load a program much faster than
using the S/PDIF signal. Note that no pilot tone or beep sound is recorded when saving data to a CD-RW/CD-R discs.
If song data to be saved requires more space than the available disk space, you can save the data to more than one
disk (up to 99 disks). You can also save/load data by the WAV file format. In the save/load operation using the
WAV file, you can specify any track(s) to be saved or loaded, as well as all tracks.
<Note>
To save/load using a CD-RW/CD-R disc, you must install the optional CD-RW drive
in the VF80.
For the detailed information about the CD-RW drive, contact your dealer or the
nearest FOSTEX sales office. See 134 page about how to install the CD-RW drive in
the VF80.
