So basically, each SD card, even though it might have an 8gb capacity (or whatever capacity for that matter), can only hold the equivalent of one floppy disk?
No - the SD card can hold many floppy images, but each floppy image still just corresponds to one floppy, with the same limits that a real floppy would have.
So the only benefit to having the emulator is so that you are saving your data to a more modern media type rather than floppy disk?
Am I misunderstanding?
Fortunately, yes :)
I know that you cannot load more than what the onboard memory is anyway. My VFX-SD has the upgrade so it's sequencer is fully expanded.
Can we store multiple disk images on a single SD card? If I have an 8gb card for example in the VFX-SD through the emulator, I should be able to theoretically store hundreds of floppy disks worth of data (sound, sequence, sysex). Is that correct?
Yes, that is correct: an 8GB card will be able to hold thousands of floppy images. Each one of those floppy images will still be limited to 800kB of stirage from the VFX-SD's point of view.
I apologize for my confusion, and to think that I am a computer guy too :)
