VS-880 Application Guide
Recording With Effects in INPUT>TRACK Mode
INPUT>TRACK mode with “EQ/EffPreIns” set to ON routs the rear panel Inputs through the EQ and
Effects sections of the Mixer before sending the signal to a recording track. Input signals can be recorded
with EQ and Effects with this option. Level and pan position are not recorded, and are set for playback of
the recorded Tracks.
The channel faders 1-8 correspond directly with recorded tracks 1-8 (not the input
connectors. When you are monitoring an actual recorded track, Fader # 1 will
always be Track # 1, Fader # 2 will always be Track # 2, etc.
INPUT MIX / TRACK MIX Mode
These two modes are basically two parts of the same recording and playback “Mix” mode. It is in this
mode that the VS-880 can be used as a 14 channel mixer: 6 Inputs from the rear panel (INPUT MIX) and 8
recorded Tracks (TRACK MIX).
INPUT MIX and TRACK MIX mode operate simultaneously. You can switch between INPUT MIX
and TRACK MIX modes without losing the settings made in the opposite mode. In other words, if
you make settings in the INPUT MIX mode, then switch to TRACK MIX mode to make more
settings, then switch back to INPUT MIX mode, the original settings of INPUT MIX are still there.
INPUT MIX
INPUT MIX mode allows you to have up to six audio sources mixed in with the eight recorded Tracks – all
going to one stereo output.
For example, let’s imagine that you are synchronizing your sequencer (computer or keyboard workstation)
with the VS-880. Maybe your sequencer tracks are piano, bass, and drums. You have recorded vocals, sax
and guitar on the VS-880. The sequencer tracks and the VS-880 tracks can all be mixed simultaneously to
DAT with EQ and effects.
In INPUT MIX mode, the faders and pan knobs control only the audio sources plugged into the Inputs on
the rear of the VS-880, not the recorded tracks. Each physical input (on the rear panel of the VS-880) is
automatically assigned to its corresponding mixer channel (Input 1>mixer channel 1, Input 2>mixer
channel 2, etc). The digital input Left and Right assign to channels 5 and 6 respectively. An external analog
to digital converter can be used to connect analog signals to the digital Inputs.
