Before You Finish Operations
Saving the Performance to Disk (Song Store)
Song data that you recorded or edited will be lost if
you simply turn the power off. Thus, you must exe-
cute the Shutdown procedure before turning the
power off.
When you switch songs or change disks, a message
will ask you to confirm whether the song should be
saved (STORE Current?) (p. 33).
Additionally, the contents of a recorded performance
can be lost because of unforeseen accidents, 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 proce-
dure to save your songs to the disk drive.
Current Song (Appendices p. 63)
* When handling important song data, or when using the
VS-1680 for extended periods, we strongly recommended
you to execute the Song Store procedure frequently.
1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [STORE (ZERO)].
2. ”STORE OK?” appears in the display. Press [YES].
If the song is saved properly, the initial display
reappears. If you wish to cancel the saving, press
[NO].
Turning Off the Power
The contents of any recorded performance will be lost
if you simply turn the power off. This may also result
in damage to the hard disk. To safely turn off the
power and be sure that your recorded performances
are saved, always be sure to follow the shutdown
procedure when you finish working with the VS-
1680.
Shutdown (Appendices p. 64)
1. While holding down [SHIFT], press
[SHUT/EJECT (STOP)].
2. ”SHUTDOWN/EJECT?” appears in the display.
Press [YES].
3. ”STORE Current?” then appears in the display. If
you wish to save the current song, press [YES]. If
you do not wish to save it (if you want to undo
the contents of recording editing), press [NO]. If
you have selected a demo song, press [NO].
