VX-8R OPERATING MANUAL 53
MEMORY BANK OPERATION
The large number of memories available in the VX-8R could be difficult to utilize without
some means of organizing them. Fortunately, the VX-8R includes provision for dividing
the memories into as many as 24 Memory Banks, so you can categorize the memories in a
manner convenient to you. You may enter and exit the “Memory Bank” mode by a single
press of the key, as we shall see below.
ASSIGNING MEMORIES TO A MEMORY BANK
1. Recall the memory channel to be assigned to a Memory
Bank.
2. Press and hold in the key for 1/2 second, then rotate the
DIAL knob to select the Memory Bank number where you
want to include this channel (Memory Bank numbers are
found before memory channel “
11
11
1”). The “ ” icon will ap-
pear at the upper left of the Memory Bank number if some
channels have already been assigned to that Memory Bank
number. (If no channels are assigned to the Memory Bank, the “ ” icon appears on
the left of the Memory Bank number).
3. Press the key briefly.
4. At this point, the memory
channel data is copied into
the Memory Bank.
1) You may assign
one memory chan-
nel into several
Memory Banks.
2) The PMS memory channels
(L1/U1 through L50/U50) may not be assigned to a Memory Bank.

3. Press the key, and then press the key,
then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired
Memory Bank.
4. Press the key. Now, as you rotate the DIAL
knob to select memories, you will observe that you
can only select memory channels in the current Memory Bank.
