Saving the recorded song to disk

The recorded song is temporarily stored in internal memory.

This means that the song currently resident in internal mem-

ory will be lost if another song is loaded or the power is

turned off. To keep the song, it must be saved to disk.

There are three methods for saving a song to disk. Select one

as the situation requires.

✳ If you try to save a file with a pre-existing name, a win-

dow asks “File Name duplicate. Overwrite?” To

rewrite the file, press [F5] (OK). To cancel saving, press

[F6] (Cancel).

✳ When you try to save data to a disk which has not been

formatted for the XP-80, a window asks “Unformatted

disk. Format?” When formatting the disk, press [F5]

(OK). If you decide not to format the disk, press [F6]

(Cancel).

Saving sound data along with a song

You can save a song, together with its sound data used for

recording, as an MRC Pro song file to disk. Use this method

if you going to play back the song using the same sound

used for recording.

✳ This method of saving a song limits MRC Pro

sequencers other than the XP-80’s from playing it back

with correct sound. To play back with correct sound,

record the corresponding Bank Select number and

Program number.

✳ The current Patch, Performance or Rhythm Set settings

will be recorded along with the song. So if you’ve

changed the Patch/Performance/Rhythm Set during

recording and saved the recording to disk, the initial

settings at recording start won’t be saved. If this is the

case, record the Bank Select number and Program

number that correspond to the Patch/Rhythm Set used

at recording start at the beginning of the song on the

Microscope display (SEQ/Micro), etc.

❶ Insert a disk to the disk drive.

❷ Press [DISK].

❸ Press the numeric key [2], then [ENTER].

❹ Move the cursor to “File Type” and select “SONG.”

❺ Move the cursor to “Save Mode” and select “SONG+

SOUND.”

❻ Move the cursor to “File Name” and assign a file

name.

❼ Press [F6] (Execute) to save the song.

The file name extension “.SVQ” attaches automatically.
