function.
Important
• A single floppy disk can store only one save file (64 sets of voice data, together
with one set of system data). If you store to a disk that already contains a save file,
the new save file will overwrite the old one.
• If you do not explicitly set a filename, the VP1 reuses the name of the existing file
on the disk. If the disk is newly formatted, the VP1 uses the name "NEW-FILE" .
• You cannot save to an unformatted disk. If necessary, format the disk using the
FORMAT function. (
• You cannot save to a disk if the disk's write-protect tab is set to "protect". The tab,
located at the lower-right corner on the rear side of the disk casing, is in "protect"
position when it is pushed downward so that the window is open.
FYI
• Filenames cannot start with a space. If you enter a space in the middle of a filename, the
space is automatically converted to an underscore character. (If you enter the name as a
string of spaces, the name automatically converts to "------".
