VS-880EX Application Guide
About the scenes
The demo songs contain scenes. Each scene contains a different selection of Virtual tracks and the
appropriate mixer settings. Use the following procedure to switch scenes and compare the performances.
For details on scenes, refer to “Storing mixer settings (Scene)” (page 73) in
your VS-880EX owner’s manual. Each scene also includes effect settings.
1. With the song stopped, press the [SCENE] button (the LED will light).
2. Press the [LOC] button for the desired scene number (if the LED’s above the LOC buttons
are lit, that indicates there is a scene stored in that location).
3. Press the [PLAY] button to playback the demo song. When the demo song finishes playback,
select another scene and playback the demo song again.
4. When you finish comparing scenes, press the [SCENE] button again to exit SCENE mode.
VS-880EX Connections
SCSI (Small Computer System Interface)
SCSI is a protocol for high-speed recording and data transfer between computer devices. For our purposes,
the VS-880EX is a computer that has all the recording hardware and software built in. You will use this
SCSI connector to add external hard disks for additional recordings. (see Owner’s Manual page 99 for
detailed information).
MIDI IN and OUT/THRU
The MIDI connectors on the VS-880EX are very versatile, adding more functionality to the VS-880EX than
can be accessed from the front panel. For example, the MIDI ports allow you to connect to external
sequencers and MIDI sound modules (see Owner’s Manual page 116). MIDI also allows you to record and
play back VS-880EX fader movements with your external sequencer and sync your VS-880EX to other
MIDI devices.
DIGITAL IN and OUT
The Digital In connectors allow information from an external digital audio source (CD player, DAT
machine) to be digitally recorded into the VS-880EX. Likewise, the Digital Outs allow the VS-880EX to
transmit digital audio data to an external recording device (DAT machine, MiniDisc recorder, CD
recorder). Besides recording and playback, the Digital In and Out connectors can also be used to Backup
and Restore song data to the VS-880EX. You can backup the VS-880EX data to digital audio tape (DAT).
The digital connections can also be use in combination with external analog to digital and digital to analog
converters to increase the number of analog inputs and outputs.
Both the coaxial and optical Digital IN/OUT jacks conform to the S/PDIF standard.
