Overview of the V-Synth GT
Project
The largest unit of memory used by the V-Synth GT is the project. A project contains up to 512 patches, up to 896
tones, up to 999 waves, and various system settings.
The V-Synth GT uses one project at a time.
Internal Memory
The V-Synth GT has internal memory that stores a project. When the V-Synth GT is shipped from the factory, this memory
already contains patch and wave data, but you are free to overwrite any of this. You can always restore the memory
to the factory-set contents (Factory Reset, p. 235).
Temporary Area
When you switch on the V-Synth GT’s power or load a project, the project data is located in an area of memory called
the temporary area.
Operations such as sampling or patch editing will affect the data in the temporary area.
If you simply turn off the power, the edited sample data or patch data will be lost; you must be sure to save it (using
SAVE/WRITE) if you want to keep it.
USB Memory
Internal memory can hold only one project, but you can use commercially available USB memory to store additional
projects.
USB Storage
If you connect the V-Synth GT to your computer via a USB cable, projects, patches, tones, and wave data in the V-Synth
GT’s internal memory can be saved (backed up) to the hard disk or other media on your computer (p. 221).
In addition, wave data created on the V-Synth GT can also be used by software running on your computer, or wave
data created by your computer software can be used on the V-Synth GT.
Sampling Memory
The amount of memory you can use for sampling will depend on the state of the project that is currently loaded into
the temporary area. With the factory-set project, there is approximately 69 seconds (stereo) / 138 seconds (monaural)
of sampling memory. If you delete the factory-set waves, you will be able to use a maximum of approximately 380
seconds (stereo) / 760 seconds (monaural) of sampling memory. However since a maximum of approximately 290
seconds (stereo) / 580 seconds (monaural) can be saved in internal memory, you will need to use a commercially
available USB memory if you want to store more samples than this.
* The above values are for when the sample is encoded using the “LITE” type (p. 188).
The factory-set waves can be restored using the Factory Reset operation (p. 235) even if they have been erased.
Factory Data
The factory data is an area of memory that stores the state of internal memory when the V-Synth GT is shipped from
the factory. If you’ve erased the factory-set patch or wave data from internal memory, but decide that you would like
to use it again, you can execute the Factory Reset procedure to bring this data back.
