Saving a Recorded
Performance (Song Store)
The contents of any recorded performance will be lost
if you simply turn the power off, or even if there is an
accidental power failure or power outage. Once lost,
the contents of a recorded performance cannot be
restored to the previous conditions. To avoid this
from happening, use the following procedure to save
your songs to the disk.
* When handling important song data, or when using the
VS-1680 for extended periods, we recommended that you
to perform this procedure frequently.
1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [STORE (ZERO)].
2. "STORE OK?" appears in the display. If you are
satisfied with the results of your recording, press
[YES]. If you wish to cancel the save, press [NO].
* The contents of the demo songs are protected from being
changed or overwritten (Song Protect (p. 81)). You can-
not save operation with the demo songs. This means if you
press [YES] at Step 2 when a demo song is selected, the
message "Song Protected" will appear, and the procedure
cannot be continued.
Recording Over a Portion of
a Performance
(Punch-In/Punch-Out)
Sometimes, when listening to a recorded performance,
even if you don't find it necessary to discard the entire
song, there may be sections containing mistakes or
lyrics that are hard to hear. In such instances, you will
find the following procedure convenient for rerecord-
ing only selected parts of a recording. The switching
from playback to recording status is called punch-in,
and the switch back from recording to playback is
referred to as punch-out.
