Before saving your settings
Before saving your “made-up” song or Style to the
internal memory, a card or a floppy disk, you can (but
you don’t have to) “commit” your changes, thereby
turning them into “regular” song or Style data.
(MAKEUP TOOLS settings are SysEx data only the E-80
understands.)
This may come in handy for two reasons:
• To be able to edit the “final” version of your song or
Style with the 16-track Sequencer, Style Converter or
Style Composer. Those functions ignore the “cos-
metic” SysEx data you add using the MAKEUP TOOLS.
• To play back your new song version on another
sequencer or your computer. (The Styles can only be
read by the E-80 anyway.)
To commit your changes, press the [FREEZE¥DATA]
field on any of the pages discussed so far:
The display responds with “Operation Complete”
when the data have been converted. Careful: this
operation cannot be undone.
Note: This operation is unnecessary for files you only want to
use with the E-80.
Saving your modified song or Style
The changes saved with the following procedure affect
the selected song or Style file directly. They are not part
of the settings that are saved to a User Program.
(1) If you are happy with your changes and wish to
preserve them, press the [SAVE] field.
The display changes to…
…or:
(2) If necessary, change the song’s or Style’s name.
You only need to do this if you want to preserve the
original version (and only if you want to save the new
version to the same memory area). The edits you have
just performed can only be read by the E-80 and so
are of little use to other SMF players or arranger
instruments.
(3) Specify the memory area where you want to save
the Style or song: [EXTERNAL¥MEMORY], [FLOPPY]
or [INTERNAL¥MEMORY].
(4) Press the [STYLE¥NAME] or [SONG¥NAME] field.
(6) Next, press the following fields (if necessary) and
enter the following information.
(7) Press the [EXECUTE] field.
