Before you finish operations

Saving the performance to disk
(Song Store)
Song data that you recorded or edited will be lost if you
simply turn the power off. You must be sure to use the
Shutdown procedure before turning the power off, so that
the data will be saved onto the disk drive. When you switch
songs or change the current drive, a message will ask you to
confirm whether the song should be saved.
If you wish to save the currently selected song data to a disk
drive separately from these operations, use the following
procedure.
* It is not possible to recover lost song data. When handling
important song data, or when using the VS-880 for an
extended session, we recommend that you save song data
frequently.
1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [STORE (ZERO)].
2. A message will ask "STORE OK?" If you wish to store
the song data, press [YES]. When the song has been
stored, you will return to the previous condition.
Preventing accidental erasure of
your performance (Song Protect)
Even if you have stored your performance to disk, it is still
possible that the performance can be lost by being acciden-
tally recorded over or deleted. To prevent such accidents,
you can protect the performance from accidental erasure
(Song Protect).
