Using The ‘Narration’ Effect (VS8F-1)
If you have the optional VS8F-1 effects board installed, one particular effect is very useful when recording
narration or voice dialogue. If you use the NARRATION effect in the Insert mode of your incoming
microphone channel, it provides all the following features from a single effect setting:
• Noise suppression - This would help with a less than acceptable recording level or to help
eliminate background noise.
• Limiter/De-esser - Both are very valuable features for voice work of any kind.
• Enhancer - Works like a basic vocal exciter.
• EQ - A true 3 band parametric EQ with peak and shelving - this EQ is in addition to the
normal EQ section of the VS-880.
• Pitch Change - Very effective for changing the characteristics of a voice.
• Delay - Up to 1 sec., with feedback effect available.
• Chorus - For that special effect to make the voice sound “larger” or like more than one voice.
Using the [SHIFT] Button to Speed Up Operations
• When editing effects, use [SHIFT]+[PARAMETER] buttons to jump quickly between each
section or block of the effect you are editing.

characters when entering names, it will speed up the operation.
• If you hold the [SHIFT] button when using the TIME/VALUE dial for selecting measures or
markers in the LCD display, it will speed up the operation.
[SHIFT] + [PLAY (DISPLAY)] Displays Waveforms in Edit Modes
• You don’t have to enter Scrub mode to see the waveforms during the middle of an edit.
Press [SHIFT] + [PLAY (DISPLAY)] during the edit to show the audio waveform in the LCD.

Use [SHIFT] + [SYSTEM] to Toggle Int / Ext Sync
Use ‘Archive’ Copy Mode to copy to multiple ZIP disks
• If your song files are larger than 100 Mbytes, you can copy them to multiple Zip disks. The
VS-880 will prompt you to insert the next ZIP disk when it’s needed.
