VR800 Owner’s Manual (Saving and Loading Song Data)
<Note when saving data using DAT or adat>
Refer to the following notes when you save all track data (real tracks and additional tracks) using a DAT or
adat.
The duration of the data that can be saved on the disk is calculated based on the duration of the song data
(ABS 0 - REC END) on the real tracks. Therefore, if you try to save data on an additional track that is longer
in duration than the data on the real track, only that part of the additional track (up to the same time
indication of the real track) will be saved.
For example, assume that you moved 10-minutes of data on a real track to an additional track (using the
Track exchange function), then you recorded three minutes of data on the same real track.
In this case, only three minutes of the additional track data will be saved. To reset (seven-minutes of data)
will not be saved.
If this happens, set the save time longer (up to 59 minutes and 59 seconds) using the save time editing
procedure (see Step 6 on page 83). Alternatively, move the longest data on the additional track to a real
track, then perform the save operation. At this time, be careful not to accidentally erase important data on
the additional tracks. Refer to the page 66 for more information on the Track Exchange function.

<Note when loading data using DAT or adat>
Although the VR800 digital-in clock may be set in its initial state of [ASYnC] (asynchronous mode), when loading from DAT or adat, the
digital-in clock of the VR800 will temporarily operate in the same way as if it is in [SYnC] (synchronous mode). In this case, because it will
operate even though the [ASYnC] setting indicator “ ” is lit on the display, so care must be exercised not to create a digital clock loop.
REC END of the additional tracks
REC END of the real tracks
Only this range of data will be saved.
<Note when saving/loading data using adat>
You may save data from the current drive to an adat as long as the current drive has been formatted in [Master 8ch] mode for eight-
track simultaneous playback. You may also load data from an adat to the current drive if the drive was formatted in [Master 8ch] mode
to enable 8-track simultaneous recording via the adat interface. Fostex will not guarantee operation of the VR800 if you use drives in
other modes.
