VS-880 Application Guide
Loop Recording
Loop record is very similar to Auto Punch (see Use Auto-Punch for Punch In/Out) in that you are able to
rehearse the part you are going to record many times before you actually record it. In addition, you are
able to record over and over in the same area until you are satisfied with the recording. This is a very
important feature if you are operating the VS-880 and playing the instrument you are recording.
First you will choose which track to punch into, then you can select the exact location for the punch in and
the punch out, the loop start and end, then you will rewind to a location before the loop start and begin
playing the song. As long as you do not press the [REC] button, the VS-880 will not actually enter the
record mode. The VS-880 will continue to play from the loop start to the loop end location, over and over
until you press [STOP]. Once you have completed your rehearsal, you can press the [REC] button anytime
before the designated punch in location and the VS-880 will automatically enter the record mode at the
correct punch in location and will exit the record mode at the punch out point. During the next playback of
the loop, you will automatically hear what you just recorded. If you wish to record it again, just press the
[REC] button before the punch in time and the VS-880 will record the section again. The loop will continue
to play over and over, allowing you to press [REC] when you wish to record. When you have completed a
recording you are satisfied with, press [STOP].
