Saving Songs to CD-R Discs

(CD-R Backup)
You can save song data stored on the VS-1680's hard
disk to CD-R discs. This procedure is called backup.
Conversely, the process of loading backed up song
data onto the internal hard disk is referred to as
recover. Besides all V-track performance data, backed
up data also includes Locator, Marker, and Scene set-
tings made in the songs.
In CD-R backup, the song data is converted into a data
format specifically for saving. This means that it will
not be possible to directly play back the song data. If
you wish to play back song data copied in archive for-
mat, you will need to reload the backed up data into
the current drive using the appropriate procedure.
Furthermore, when copying a song that does not fit on
a single disc, it is copied onto multiple discs according
to the free space on the discs.
Song data backed up on CD-R discs cannot be rewrit-
ten. Thus, this is an appropriate procedure for backing
up completed song data in its final form.
* Song data recorded onto Zip disks cannot be
backed up onto CD-R discs.
* Song data cannot be backed up onto discs that already
have songs recorded on them.
* Incorrectly conducting the backup procedure may result
in the loss of data. Roland Corporation assumes no liabili-
ty concerning such loss of data. Furthermore, Roland does
not warrant any copied data, regardless of the perfor-
mance or condition of the CD-R drive.
Chapter 7 Use with a CD-R Drive
Backing Up Songs with Zip Drives and
DAT Recorders
You can back up VS-1680 song data by using a
Zip drive or DAT recorder. Song data stored on a
Zip disk or DAT tape can be rewritten any num-
ber of times. This makes this an appropriate
method for backing up data after work at the end
of the day or at other regular intervals.
Considering the issues of time required to save
data and reliability, the Zip drive is the more con-
venient method. Roland recommends backing
up (Song Copy) data with a Zip drive.
