Chapter 3 Multi-Track Recording

When You Are Recording in Stereo

When recording in stereo, or when recording to tracks with Channel Link (p. 149) on, you can set the pan for each input channel. After Step 5, per- form the procedure described below.

5-1.Press the SELECT button for the input chan- nel you want assigned as the source.

The SELECT indicator lights.

5-2.Press PARAMETER [ ] [ ] several times until “MIX Sw” appears in the dis- play.

5-3.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.

MIX Sw (Mix Switch)

This selects the bus to which the source or track output will be assigned. For this example select “On.”

On: The source or track will be sent to the mix bus. Set this to “On” when, for example, you simply want to mix the inputs without recording the source. However, the sources that are assigned to the RECORDING bus are disabled.

Off: The source or track will not be assigned to the mix bus. If it is not assigned to a record- ing bus either, then that source/track will not be output anywhere.

5-4.Press PARAMETER [ ].

5-5.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.

MIX Pan

This adjusts the pan setting (L63–0–R63) of the signal sent to the MIX bus and the RECORDING bus.

5-6.Repeat Steps 5-1 through 5-3 for all input channels to which you want to make pan settings.

5-7.After making the pan setting, press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].

Return to Play condition.

Saving a Recorded Performance (Song Store)

The contents of any recorded performance will be lost if you simply turn the power off, or even if there is an accidental power failure or power outage. Once lost,

the contents of a recorded performance cannot be

restored to the previous conditions. To avoid this from happening, use the following procedure to save your songs to the disk.

*When handling important song data, or when using the VS-880EX for extended periods, we recommended that you to perform this procedure frequently.

1.Hold down [SHIFT] and press [STORE (ZERO)].

2.“STORE OK?” appears in the display. If you are satisfied with the results of your recording, press [YES]. If you wish to cancel the save, press [NO].

*The contents of the demo songs are protected from being changed or overwritten (Song Protect (p. 64)). You can- not save operation with the demo songs. This means if you press [YES] at Step 2 when a demo song is selected, the message “Song Protected” will appear, and the procedure cannot be continued.
