Conventions Used In This Manual
Buttons
•
Actual front panel buttons are indicated in square brackets [ ].
•
Some buttons have more than one button name. These indicate the function that the button
performs when [SHIFT] is pressed or when in a different mode. When giving only the
“secondary” function name would make it difficult to know which button is indicated, both
button names will be given, with the current function given first.
Example: [SOLO (EZ ROUTING)], [EFFECT 1 (CH EDIT button 7)]
•
The VS-880EX has two buttons marked PLAY. In this manual, these are distinguished as
follows.
1. [PLAY (DISPLAY)]: the button at the lower right of the LCD screen
2. [PLAY]: the button to operate the recorder ‘transport,’ located in the lower right corner.
Mixer Channel
•
In the mixer section, a knob/button/indicator/fader of a specific channel is usually indi-
cated by adding the channel number. Example: the PAN 1 knob, FADER 3.
Commands
•
Capitalized text, surrounded by braces, { }, indicates a command that the VS-880EX can
execute. Example: {MOVE}
Tracks
•
The VS-880EX has two banks of 8 Virtual Tracks for each actual primary recording track.
When displayed, the LCD indicates the primary recording track as the first number and the
virtual track as the second number. This guide will use the same convention. For example,
Tr. 2-5 will always indicate primary recording track # 2, virtual track # 5 (see Virtual Tracks
- Application Guide page 27). For the purpose of this guide, we will assume that Virtual
Track Bank “A” is selected (see Switching the Virtual Track Bank - Application Guide page
74).
