The VS-2480 imports the selected song data. Depending on the amount of data, and

EXPORT

You can export the current project from the VS-2480 so that it can be played on the:
• VS-880 • VS-880EX • VSR-880
• VS-890 • VS-1680 • VS-1880

How Export Works

This section describes how the currently loaded VS-2480 project is translated for export
to the various V-Studios. In all cases, when you export a VS-2480 project, the newly
created song uses the project’s sample rate and recording mode.
You can export a project to Zip disk or CD-R/RW. If the project fits on a single Zip disk,
you can export it in playable form—if it’s larger than one Zip disk, you can export it in
archive format. You can export a project to CD-R/RW only as a song archive.

Exporting to a VS-880 or VS-880EX

• Eight project tracks are exported. You can select Tracks 1-8, 9-16 or 17-24.
• Only V-Tracks 1-8 are exported to VS-880 songs—to export data on V-Tracks 9-16,
copy the data to V-Tracks 1-8. In VS-880EX songs, the VS-2480’s V-Tracks 1-8 are
exported to Bank A, and V-Tracks 9-16 to Bank B.
• Only the project’s Locators 00-31 are exported.
• Projects that use the M24, MTP, CDR and LV2 recording modes can’t be exported as
VS-880 or VS-880EX songs.
The VS-2480 won’t export a project directly to the VS-840’s data format. You can export a
project as VS-880 data, and use the VS-840’s Song Convert feature to load the data.
The VS-2480’s M16 recording mode is the same as other V-Studios’ MAS mode.
