Roland VS-2000 Owner’s Manual www.RolandUS.com 29
1—Welcome
Congratulations on the purchase of your Roland VS-2000 Digital Studio Workstation.
The VS-2000 will allow you to take your music—or any other kind of sound—from the
first spark of inspiration to completed recording.
Although the VS-2000 is simple to operate, the sheer number of tools it provides do
require some introduction and explanation. That’s what the
VS-2000 Owner’s Manual
is
for. Of course, what you do with these tools is up to you and your imagination.
If you’ve purchased a VS8F-2 Effect Expansion Board or a VS8F-3 Plug-In Effect
Expansion Board for your VS-2000, refer to Chapter 29, beginning on Page 389, for
installation instructions. To learn how to install a VS20-VGA VGA/Mouse Expansion
Board for adding mouse, ASCII keyboard and VGA capabilities to your VS-2000, see the
installation instructions that ship with the VS20-VGA.
Your VS-2000 is an extremely reliable device. However, there’s no guarantee against
data loss due to improper use of the VS-2000 or unforeseen events. Roland Corporation
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
