When The Data Cannot Be Saved On A Single Disk (Archive) - Roland VXpanded VS-880 Owner's Manual

When the data cannot be
saved on a single disk (Archive)
Archive
Use this method when you are using a removable disk drive
and several disks will be required to copy the specified song
data.
When song data is copied using this method, the song data
will be converted into a data format specifically for saving
(archive format). This means that it will not be possible to
directly playback etc. the song data by specifying the saving
destination disk drive as the current drive. If you wish to
use the song data which was copied, you will need to load
the archive data into the current drive using the appropriate
procedure.
< Optimize >
Even when overdubbing and punch-in recording are
repeated, the original data that was rewritten (the
unwanted data) will remain on the disk. By erasing this
unwanted data from the disk, you can decrease the size
occupied by the song.
If the song will not fit on a single disk, try using Optimize
(p.113). In some cases this will make the song data com-
pact enough to be saved on a single disk.
Procedure for saving on multiple
disks (Store In)
Use this method when using a removable disk drive and
two or more disks are required in order to copy the speci-
fied song data.
In order to use song data which has been copied with this
method, you must use the procedure of the following page
to load the archived song data from the removable disk
back into the current drive.
< Disk handling >
When using this operation to copy song data, the disk will
be initialized to hold archive-type song data. This means
that this operation can be executed using even a disk
which has not been initialized by the VS-880. However be
aware that if you use this operation to copy data to a disk
which already contains song data, all of the previously
saved song data will be lost.
A disk on which song data has been archived cannot be
selected as the current drive in the way that a disk con-
taining conventional song data can be. If you attempt to
select an archive disk as the current drive, it will be recog-
nized as an un-initialized disk drive.
Chapter 6 Use with a Zip drive
This section explains the procedure for copying song data to
a Zip drive (SCSI ID number 5) as an external disk drive.

nal disk drive" (p.130).
2. Press [SONG], use PARAMETER [
the "SNG Song Copy" display, and press [YES].
3. The display will indicate "SNG CpyMode=," so use the
