Saving
Saving a song
In the same way as in most programs, you will save your work by choosing [Save Song] or [Save As]
from the File menu. The song will be saved in V-Producer format (in Windows, the file name extension
is .vpd).
In V-Producer, the actual audio data used by a song (.vpw files) is handled separately from the song
file (.vpd file) that uses this audio data. The song file contains only references to these audio files. This
means that if you copy or back up only the song file to another computer, you will be unable to play
back the song.
If you select "Save song with the sample files" when saving, all sample files (.vpw files) used by the
song will be copied to the same folder as the song file. By moving this entire folder, you can move your
song to another computer or create a backup.
About the sample files (.vpw) used by the song
The settings file named "song name + PRM.ini" that is saved in the same folder as the song
file (.vpd) stores the location (absolute path) of the sample files (.vpw) used in the song.
For this reason, if you change the location of the samples used in the song, V-Producer will
lose track of the sample file locations. In this case, the next time you open the song, the
"[sample name] Load File Name" dialog box will appear. Please specify the file location of
the sample name shown in the dialog box.
* The [Export SMF] command on the File menu will save the song in SMF format, so you can load it into
another sequencer and use it to play the VariOS. For details, refer to "Using your MIDI sequencer to
play data (SMF) created by V-Producer" (p. 138).
Exporting a wave file
The [Export Wave File] command on the File menu will export data as a wave file.
Since wave files are a standard format, they can be loaded into virtually any program.
When exporting wave files, you have the following options:
Song
Multiple Part
* The internal effects of the VariOS (see "Using effects" (p. 93) ) will not be reflected by the wave file
export function.
Export a single wave file for the entire song
Export separate wave files for each part of the song
When you save, the parts that are checked in the "Export Part"
field will be output. Each part will be saved in the folder you've
specified, using this format: "specified file name _ part number.'
