VS-880EX Application Guide
Parameter
A Parameter refers to some setting within the VS-
880EX that you can modify (e.g., EQ frequency is a
Parameter, Aux Send level is a Parameter, etc.).
Peak
The maximum recording level of the VS-880EX when
digital clipping (distortion) occurs.
Phones
The volume control for headphones which can be
connected to the rear of the VS-880EX.
Play
The play button controls the playback of the VS-
880EX recorder section.
Play List
The play list is the complete set of instructions built
by you during editing to tell the VS-880EX what
tracks and recordings to play and when to play them.
Post Level
The audio signal level after it exits the front panel
fader. Fader movement will affect the signal level.
Pre Level
The audio signal level before it enters the front panel
fader control. Fader movement will not affect the
signal level.
Preview - Scrub
The ability for the VS-880EX to play a short
continuous loop of audio over and over. This loop
can be moved in real time through your song to aid
in finding a specific location for editing (see Owner’s
Manual page 141).
Preview To
The ability to play a short section of audio directly in
front of the current time location (see Owner’s
Manual page 140).
Preview From
The ability to play a short section of audio directly
following the current time location (see Owner’s
Manual page 140).
Preview Thru
The ability to play a short section of audio centered
on the current time location.
REC
The master record button to instruct the VS-880EX to
record on all tracks that have been selected to record
ready mode.
Restart
After the VS-880EX has been properly shut down, the
Restart command can be used to reload your song
into memory and make it available to play without
turning the power off and on.
REW
Short for rewind. The ability to move the current
“now time” backwards in your song (same as rewind
on your cassette recorder).
Scene
An automation function in the VS-880EX providing
an “instantaneous” snapshot picture of every control.
This scene snapshot can be recalled to “reset” the VS-
880EX to the same settings as when the scene
snapshot was stored. Scenes cannot be recalled while
the VS-880EX is in play mode.
SCSI
Small Computer System Interface - The connection
on the VS-880EX to allow for addition of storage
devices (hard disks) or for creating audio CD’s with
the Roland VS-CDR (optional).
Shift
A button to allow for selection of the alternate
function of many front panel buttons.
Shut/Eject
The Shut/Eject command instructs the VS-880EX that
you wish to finish recording or editing. This
command is important since it instructs the VS-
880EX to close all the data files you have been
working on (do some housekeeping) and to eject any
removable media you might have attached . You
should always use the Shut/Eject command before
turning off the power.
Solo
This button function allows you to listen to a single
channel of the VS-880EX by temporarily turning off
the audio from the other channels.
Song Select
This command selects which song you want to work
on from all those stored on your hard disk.
Song New
This command is used to begin a new song.
Song Name
A command to enter the name of your song using
alphanumeric characters.
Song Copy
A command to provide the ability to copy a song
from one recording media to another.
