waveform according to the wave number: RAM waves are numbered 00-31,
ROM waves are numbered 32- 127.
Programs are the set of selected waveforms, synthesizer voice and modu-
lation settings, and keyboard conguration (Normal, Split, or Double) which
comprise a sound. All 100 internal programs are in RAM.
Cartridge Memory
The cartridge system allows you to have virtually instantaneous access to any
program in your sound library. It has its own switch. When Cartridge is o,
only internal data is used. When Cartridge is on, program or wave selections,
or storage, are made to the cartridge instead. Cartridge programs still use the
VS's internal ROM waveforms (#32-127). It is easy to copy individual programs
between internal memory and the cartridge.
Two types of external memory cartridges can be used: Model 240 VSRAM
cartridges and Model 241 VSROM cartridges.
For best cartridge performance minimize contact with dirt, liquids, temperature
extremes, and direct sunlight.
Model 240 VSRAM Cartridge
RAM cartridges contain 100 programs plus 32 waveforms. In other words,
the RAM cartridge provides a complete duplication of the internal RAM. RAM
cartridges are, of course, non-volatile. They can provide a complete backup of
the RAM, but more importantly give you the ability to build up a vast library of
custom programs.
RAM cartridges shipped from the factory have 100 blank programs and 32
blank waveforms which you can replace with your own. For protection, a Store
(write protect) switch ensures that programs on RAM cartridge can not be lost
unless you choose to erase them.
Model 241 VSROM Cartridge
ROM cartridges contain 100 factory-programmed, permanent programs.
These programs use only the waveforms which are in internal ROM (#32-127).
They do not use any waveforms in RAM (#00-31).
While the ROM cartridge is installed, you can still access any waveforms or
programs in RAM, or copy a program from the ROM cartridge into a RAM
location, for editing. If desired, you can replace the ROM cartridge with a RAM
cartridge, and then save the program to that.
