For editing, the VS-2400CD offers several non- destructive commands like copy, cut, paste and move. These functions give you the power, for example, to cre- ate the ultimate vocal or to even copy a drum loop. Helpful markers and locators let you move around quickly, while multiple Undo commands make accidents a thing of the past.

Mouse-Based Editing on the LCD

The VS-2400CD’s large LCD screen makes navigation simple with helpful icons and graphics. Using the supplied mouse, you can copy or move phrases using familiar “drag-and-drop” commands—just like software. An optional ASCII keyboard can also be connected for simplified data entry.

Go Direct To Your PC

By installing an optional RPC-1 R-BUS card in your Mac or PC, you can transfer up to eight channels of 2-way audio between the computer and your VS-2400CD—all in pristine 24-bit digital quality. Now the V-Studio is more expandable than ever!

Get the big picture by connecting an optional VGA monitor. Combined with the mouse and optional keyboard, this system makes working with the VS-2400CD feel just like software (see screenshots for details).
