E-60/E-50 Music Workstation
Import User Program function
The E-60/E-50 allows you to import User Programs or
Performance Memories created with a VA-76/VA-7 or
G-1000/EM-2000. User Program Sets created on an
E-80 or G-70 can be opened straight away and don’t
need to be converted.
Note: In the following, the word “User Program” also refers to
the G-1000’s Performance Memories.
Here is what happens when you import User Program
sets from a floppy disk:
Note: User Programs created on or imported into the E-60/E-50
cannot be exported in the VA/G/EM-series format.
During the conversion, the E-60/E-50 creates a text file
called “Import_UPG_Report” that allows you to keep
track of the conversions. This file can be found in the
“Text” folder of the E-60/E-50’s internal memory. The
information it contains is structured as follows:
You can transfer that file to your PC via USB. See
page 184 for how to establish the required connection
and transferring the file to your computer.
(Note that the information has no effect on the
imported User Programs – it is merely intended as a log
that may help you find a given User Program more
quickly.)
Note: After 99 conversion sessions, the import counter (the first
two digits) is reset to “01”.
(1) Insert the floppy disk with the User Program/Per-
formance Memory set you wish to convert into the
drive.
The E-60/E-50 can import User Programs of the fol-
lowing instruments: VA-76, VA-7, G-1000 (Perfor-
mance Memories), and EM-2000.
(2) Press the [DISK&MEDIA] button.
(3) Press the [IMPORT¥USER¥PROGRAM] field.
The display changes to:
(4) In the right column, press the field that corre-
sponds to the instrument whose User Programs
you want to import:
[VA-7÷VA-76] refers to the VA-series, while [G-1000]
represents the G-1000 and EM-2000. This selection
specifies the algorithm the E-60/E-50 will use for the
conversion (User Program set files contain no clue
about the instrument that generated them).
Note: The User Programs you want to import must reside on a
floppy disk and be bundled as a set.
(5) Select the target media for the imported User Pro-
grams using the [TO] field: INT MEMORY or EXT
MEMORY (memory card).
Action Instrument
The 128 (VA) or 192 (G/EM) User Pro-
grams are imported into the E-60/

ated).

The first number (“01”, “02”, etc.) refers to the conversion
session. This may help you tell User Programs with identi-
cal names (from different conversion sessions) apart.
The second number (“-001”, “-002”) etc. refers to the
original User Program memory (the VAs have 128, the
G-1000 and EM-2000 have 192).
