CHAPTER
VII:
STORING
VOICE
AND
PERFORMANCE
DATA
I
In
this
chapter
we'll
look
at
the
DX5
STORE
mode, which
includes
all
the functions
you need
to store
newly
created
voices or
performance combinations
in
an
appropriate
internal
or external
memory
location.
When
you
create or
edit a
voice
or
performance combination,
the
editing
is
done
in
the
DX5's
voice
edit
buffer
or
performance
edit buffer,
respectively
(See
CHAPTER
II:
VOICE
AND PERFORMANCE
MEMORY
CONFIG-
URATION).
All
the
store
functions
are
concerned
with
moving
data
from
either
the voice
edit
buffer or
the
per-
formance
edit
buffer-or
both-to
an
internal
or external
memory
location.
Three
basic
functions
are
accessible
In
the
STORE
mode:
STORE
ALL,
STORE
VOICE
and
STORE PERFORMANCE.
Each
of
these
will
be discussed
in
detail,
below.
The
STORE mode
is
accessed by
pressing the
cream
colored
STORE
switch
on
the
bottom
row
of the
rightmost
p,
j^group
of
buttons
on
the
DX5
panel.
The
three
STORE
mode
functions
are
then
called
in
succession
by
pressinq
^the-1
/NO/OFF
switch.
^
SrOffE
ALL
The
STORE ALL
function simultaneously
stores
the contents
of
the
A
and B
channel
voice
and performance
edit
buffers
into
the
currently selected
voice
and
performance
memory
locations.
The
currently selected
KEY
ASSIGN
MODE
and
INTERNAL/CARTRIDGE memory
status
is
also stored
in
the
performance
memory. With
this
function the data
is
always
returned
to
the
memory
locations
from
which
it
was
originally called.
If
the
an
internal
voice
memory
is
selected,
then the voice data
will
be
stored
back
into
the
same
internal
voice
memory
location
after
editing.
Likewise,
if
an
external
RAM
cartridge
voice
is
selected,
then the voice data
will
be
stored
back
into
the
same
RAM
cartridge
memory
location
(assuming
that
the
RAM
cartridge
memory
protect
switch
is
OFF).
The
same
applies to the
performance memories:
a per-
formance combination
called
from
the
internal
performance
memory
will
be
stored
back
into
the
same
internal
memory
location,
and
a
performance combination
called
from an
external
RAM
performance
cartridge
will
be
stored
back
into
the
same
k
RAM
cartridge
memory
location.
STORE
ALL
is
the
first
function
called
when
the
STORE mode
is
entered.
The
display
will
look
like this:
The
STORE ALL
function
is
executed simply by
pressing the
+1
/YES/ON
button
PROTECT
M
EMORY
WRITE
(function job
P7-J1
)
must be
OFF
or
an
error
message
will
appear.
If
the
-1
/NO/OFF
switch
is
pressed, the next
STORE mode
function
will
be
called.
STORE
VOICE
This function
is
called
by
pressing the
-1
/NO/OFF
switch
once
after
entering the
STORE
mode. The
STORE
VOICE
function permits
storing
voice data
from
the voice
edit
buffer to
a
specified
internal or
external
voice
memory
location.
Voice
data
called
from
either
the
internal or
external cartridge
voice
memory
can be
stored
in
a different
memory
location.
A
voice
called
from an
external
voice
cartridge
may
be
stored
in
an
internal
voice
memory,
or vice versa;
a
voice
called
from channel
A may
be
stored
in
a
channel B
voice
memory, and
vice-versa;
etc.
