Memory Configuration

Floppy Disks

You can save all of the VP1’s internal data to floppy disk for safekeeping. Once you

have saved the data, you can reload all or some of the voices at any time.

■ Saving to disk

The VP1 does not allow you to save selected voices only. In order to save, you must

use the following operation:

• Save All Data

This operation writes all voice and system data to disk — all 64 voices, together with

the current system data. The VP1 writes this data into a one large file on the disk. A

single (2HD) disk has room enough to store only one such file.

■ Loading from disk

The VP1 supports three different loading methods.

• Load All Data

Copies all system and voice data from the floppy disk.

• Load Bank

Copies the selected bank (16 voices) of voice data from the disk into the VP1.

• Load Voice

Copies voice data for the selected voice only.

Important

• The only way to load system data from the disk is to execute a Load All Data. This

means that you cannot load system data unless you also load all 64 voices as well.

FYI

• The size of the saved file (one set of system data and 64 sets of voice data) is approximately

1300K. In other words, each file occupies an entire disk.

• The maximum length for the filename is eight letters. The “.VP1” extension is automatically

appended to the filename.
