VS-880EX Application Guide
Using Waveforms To Edit
The VS-880EX Scrub feature makes it very easy to find your edit points because you can see a visual
representation of the sound and hear it at its original pitch while editing at a fine resolution of down to
1/3000th of a second (see Owner’s Manual pages 141).
Undo & Redo
The UNDO command will reverse your previous actions up to 999 times. Press the [UNDO] button and the
LCD will display - UNDO Level = 1. The TIME/VALUE dial will allow you to select how may previous
actions to reverse (undo). For example, if you make 5 recordings on the same track (see figure below) and
then execute the UNDO command with level 3, you will erase (undo) the past three actions (the past three
recordings). Recording # 2 will now be the one that plays back.
After completing an UNDO command, the UNDO LED will be lit. You can play your song to see if you are
happy with the UNDO. If you are not, hold the [SHIFT] button and press the [UNDO] button to REDO the
functions. This will effectively cancel the UNDO function you have just completed.
The UNDO command operates for most functions of the VS-880EX. This includes
recording, editing, etc. (see Owner’s Manual pages 146 for more information).
Nulling - (Faders & Pan Controls)
Since the physical controls of the VS-880EX provide multiple functions (depending on the mixer mode
setting), there must be some way to match the ‘physical’ control position to the ‘electronic’ control position
inside the mixer.
