VS-880EX Application Guide
What if you have a song with 3 chorus sections but you have the perfect background vocals recorded on Tr.
6-1 for the first chorus only? It would be extremely helpful to be able to use the first chorus background
vocals for the other 2 chorus sections.
Again using the {COPY} command, you can select the first chorus recording on tracks Tr. 6-1 as the
‘START’ and ‘END’ of the section to be copied. You can then instruct the VS-880EX to {COPY} this
background vocal section to the second and then to the third chorus. You will first specify the beginning of
the second chorus as your COPY TO location and then choose the third chorus as the COPY TO location
(for more - see the VS-880EX Owner’s Manual, Chapter 6).
