24—Using the Rhythm Track
The VS-2000 contains a high-quality rhythm generator for you to use as a timing
reference or as the rhythmic foundation of your own arrangements. This chapter
describes how to use the VS-2000’s Rhythm Track feature.
Rhythm Track Basics
About Track 17/18
In the VS-2000’s hard disk recorder, the linked stereo Tracks 17/18 can act as:
•a pair of normal linked audio tracks.
• the stereo Rhythm Track.
When the Rhythm Track is turned on, it takes over Tracks 17/18, and any audio recorded
on the tracks does not play back as long as Rhythm Track is on. The audio isn’t deleted;
it’s just silenced when Track 17/18 are otherwise occupied.
All of the CH EDIT parameters for Track Channels 17/18 apply to the Rhythm Track
playing through Track 17/18. Therefore, Fader 17/18 acts as a master volume control for
the Rhythm Track. You can also use CH EDIT dynamics processing, EQ and so on, and
send the Rhythm Track to effects just as you would a standard hard disk recorder track.
See Chapter 11 to learn about the CH EDIT parameters.
About Rhythm Track Sounds and Drum Kits
The VS-2000 contains a collection of realistic drum samples in the form of PCM
waveforms. These samples are arranged into nine “drum kits:”
•STANDARD1 • STANDARD2 • ROOM
• HEAVY • JAZZ • HIP-HOP
• HOUSE • REGGAE • 808
Each kit has its own distinctive personality, and you can select any of these kits for use
in a project.
When the Rhythm Track is on and you’re viewing other screens, the RHYTHM TRACK
button flashes to let you know that Tracks 17/18 are being used by the Rhythm Track.
