Before Saving Your Settings; Saving Your Modified Song - Roland VIMA JM-8 Owner's Manual

Before saving your settings

Before saving your "made-up" song to the internal hard
disk or a USB storage device, you can (but you don't
have to) "commit" your changes, thereby turning them
into "regular" song data. (SMF MAKEUP TOOLS settings
are SysEx data only the JM-8, E-80, E-60, E-50 and G-70
understand.)
This may come in handy for two reasons:
• To be able to edit the "final" version of your SMF song
with the 16-track Sequencer. Those functions ignore
the "cosmetic" SysEx data you add using the SMF
MAKEUP TOOLS.
• To play back your new song version on another
sequencer or your computer.
To commit your changes, press the [FREEZE¥DATA]
display button on any of the pages discussed so far:
The display responds with "Operation Complete"
when the data have been converted. Careful: this
operation cannot be undone.
Note: This operation is unnecessary for files you only want
to use with the JM-8.
