Storage location for pieces of MIDI sequence data
A song contains sequence data
that records performance data
along a time axis. In addition to
sequence data, a song also
contains patch and audio phrase
settings and effect settings.
The largest unit of data
managed by the MV-8000 is
the "project." A project
contains the following data.
MFX
Main Features
When you load a project, all of
its data is loaded into the
MV-8000's internal memory,
and your editing and other
operations is actually
performed on the data in
memory. This means that you
can work much faster than on
systems based on media such
as hard disks.
A project can contain up to 16
songs, but the actual limit may
be less depending on the
amount of data (events) you
create.
