SAVE OPERATIONS
To save a fi le as a single element, you can either use the same name, or rename the fi le. No name is re-
quested to save a Performance, a Style or an ALL format fi le.
Although the data are retained in the RAM memory even when the instrument is turned off, it is advisable
to save a copy of your data to a Floppy Disk. RAM is best used as a dynamic work area and not as a data
storage device.
1 As a single element (Song, Style, MidiFile)
2 As a set of fi les from a Group (AllStyles , Performances, SMP)
3 As an ALL operation, saving all the data kept in the RAM memory
wk1000 can save data in a Floppy Disk in the following ways:
