VS-880EX Application Guide
Creating a User Template With EZ Routing
The EZ Routing function can be used to step you through the necessary settings for recording, track
bouncing, and mixing down. You can also use EZ Routing to create User templates that recall your own
custom setups at the touch of a button. You can store up to 29 of your own routing setups in the VS-880EX.
This is a real timesaver if you find yourself frequently using the same routings.
The following example will show you how to create a template for recording inputs 1-4 to tracks 1-4 with a
compressor inserted on each input. It will also show you how to store this template to User 001 so that it
can be recalled later.
ACTION: Creating a User Template With EZ Routing
EZ Routing will change your current mixer settings. If you would like to go back to
those settings at a later time, make sure you save them as a Scene (see Application
