Error messages

Memory Full

Reason: There is no further free space in the internal memory of the VS-880.

Action: Use the Track Bouncing operation to combine two or more tracks of playback data into a sin- gle track, and delete the original playback data. Alternatively, perform the Song Optimize oper- ation (p.113).

Write Protected

Situation: The disk drive is protected.

Action: If you are using a removable disk drive, per- form the shut-down procedure, and remove the disk and set its protect tab to the write permit position. Then re-insert the disk, and start up the VS-880 once again.

No Effect Board

Situation: A VS8F-1 effect expansion board (sold separate- ly) is not installed.

Action: This operation can be performed only if a VS8F- 1 is installed.

Not 512byte/sector

Situation: The disk that you are using is not 512 bytes/sector.

Action: This disk cannot be used by the VS-880.

Not Formatted

Situation 1: The disk drive has not been initialized by the VS-880.

Action 1: Initialize the disk drive.

Situation 2: If this appears for a disk drive that has been ini- tialized by the VS-880, there is a problem with the connections to the disk drive.

Action 2: Make sure that the disk drive is connected cor- rectly.

Not Ready

Situation: The disk drive is not ready.

Action: Wait a short time.

No Drive Ready

Situation: No disk drive is connected. Or, an internal hard disk is not installed.

Action: Make sure that the disk drive is connected cor- rectly.

SCSI ID Error

Situation: The SCSI ID numbers of two or more disk dri- ves are conflicting.

Action: Make settings so that the SCSI ID numbers do not conflict (p.131).

Song Protected

Reason: Since Song Protect is ON, the operation cannot be executed.

Action: Turn the Song Protect OFF (p.74).

If you wish to execute the operation without saving the currently selected song, repeat the procedure, and press [NO] in reply to the ÒSTORE Current?Ó message.

SPC Not Available

Situation: The SCSI components of the VS-880 have mal- functioned.

Action: Contact servicing by your dealer or qualified Roland service personnel.
