Save/Load of Song data (VF80EX)
Saving a WAV file
Song data can be saved to or load from a CD-R/CD-RW disc by the FDMS-3 (Fostex Disk Management System-
3) format, as well as by the WAV file format. As you can handle song data of the VF80EX with a WAV file, it is
possible to directly import/export data from/to a personal computer, to playback/edit a data file with various
software applications, and to import a data file edited by a computer to the VF80EX.
<Important notes for using a WAV file>
About directory of a backup disk:
• A WAV file saved is recorded in the root directory (in the first layer) on the backup disk.
• A WAV file that can be loaded must be allocated in the root directory on the backup disk.
A WAV file moved from the root directory to another area such as a folder cannot be recognized by the
VF80, which may cause a malfunction.
About file names of WAV files
• A WAV file the VF80EX saves is recorded with a file name "******##.WAV".
• A WAV file the VF80EX can load must have a file name "******##.WAV".
The first 6 characters " ****** " are the title that is shown in the " Title Edit " screen in the setup mode.
These characters can be changed when saving using a WAV file or edited by a computer.
The following 2 characters "
## " indicate the track number (1 to 24) for the save/load using a WAV file.
The last " . WAV " is the file extension indicating that the file format is WAV.
The VF80EX does not recognize other file names than above. See the following description for each
operation about details.
By using the specifications above, you can load only the desired tracks of a WAV file or load a track-
swapped WAV file. See "
Loading a WAV file " described later for details.
You can save a WAV file. The following procedure assumes that the newly CD-RW/CD-R disk is used for
backup.

<About the Edit Source Export function>
The Edit Source Export function allows you to save
the desired range of data between the Start and
End points which are set when executing the Copy-
paste or Move-paste function.
Therefore, if you want to save only the specific range
of data, you have to register the Start and End points
before the save operation.
See
"Track Editing" in "Recorder Function" for details
about how to set the Start and End points.
