Saving your song
The 16-track sequencer uses a special portion of the
E-80’s RAM memory where all editing takes place. To
ensure that you do not forget to save your song after
recording and/or editing it, you are given the opportu-
nity to do so upon leaving the 16-track Sequencer page
(by pressing the [EXIT] button):
Note: The Song RAM memory is erased when you switch off
your E-80.
Note: If you use the 16-track sequencer to edit a song that
already contains Cover modifications, the Cover settings are
ignored and erased when you save the edited version of your
song. We therefore recommend saving such songs under a dif-
ferent name (unless you used [FREEZE¥DATA] before you
started editing your song. See “Before saving your settings” on
page 148.)
(1) Press [YES] to save your changes (and the entire
song). This will take you to the following display
page:
(Press [NO] to return to the main page without saving
the song.)
If you don’t want to wait until the above warning
(“Song has been changed…”) is displayed automati-
cally, proceed as follows. Using this “manual” save
function has the advantage that you can save your
song whenever you are happy with your latest
recording or edits. Bear in mind that a power failure
is all it takes to lose your song. Don’t wait until it is
too late…
• Press the [SAVE] field on the 16-track Sequencer’s
main page.

E-80’s internal memory as target (this is a 50MB stor-
age area similar to a hard disk).
• Insert a floppy disk into the drive and press the
[FLOPPY] field.
• Press the [EXTERNAL¥MEMORY] field. This option is
only available if you connected a memory card to the
E-80’s PCMCIA slot.
