When you import a song from an earlier V-Studio, the VS-2400 converts it into a
VS-2400 project. You can recover backed-up song data from a CD. After the VS-2400
imports the song, it's loaded as the current project. If you're importing multiple songs,
the last song the VS-2400 imports becomes the current project..
See "V-Studio Song/VS-2400CD Project Compatibility" on Page 468 for details on how
other V-Studios' songs are transformed into VS-2400CD projects.
You can't import songs from the VS-1680 or VS-1880 by installing their internal hard
drives in the VS-2400CD. The VS-2400CD utilizes a different type of drive format.
To import a VS-840 song, use the VS-840's Song Convert operation to convert it first into
VS-880 format, and then import the song into the VS-2400CD. Only the song's audio
and track assignments are imported—all other settings must be recreated manually.
