Roland VS-1824 Using Markers, Storing a Marker, Locate to a Marker Using Previous and Next

Using Markers

In addition to locators, you can store up to 1000 markers per song. Markers also provide a useful and convenient way to define sections of a song for loop recording, or to mark points for punch-in recording. Markers are also used to store Automix data and CD indexes. Markers used for Automix are indicated by the letter “A” after the marker number, while markers used for CD indexes are indicated by the letter “C” after the marker number.

*An interval of at least 0.1 seconds must be left between markers. It will not be possible to add a new marker if a marker already exists at a location less than 0.1 seconds away.

Storing a Marker

Press [TAP] to place a marker at the current location. You can place a marker during recording or playback of a song, as well as when the song is stopped.

About Marker Numbers

Each marker is assigned a number 000-999 based on the order of its location on the timeline. This means that if you add a new marker at a location earlier than an existing marker, the numbers of the subsequent markers will be increased.

Displaying Markers

The marker number at any playback location is indicated in the display. If there is no marker number at the current location, then the closest preceding marker number is displayed. If there are no markers in the song, “—-” is indicated. If “***” is shown in the display, there are markers placed in the song, and the current location of the timeline is earlier in the song than the first marker’s location.
