Pointer Based Editing

When you record sounds into the VS-880, they are stored on the hard drive. Once on the drive, the original

recording is never changed. All of the editing, copying and moving of the sound is actually just moving

and copying “pointers” to the original sound. These pointers indicate when to start and stop playing all or

part of the original recording. The advantage to this way of working is that copying or moving or erasing

part of a track is only changing these pointers. Pointers take up virtually no disk space, and the VS-880 can

write or change pointers instantly. That allows you to copy all 8 tracks of a song instantly to another

location without using additional disk space. The original audio is never changed.
