Understanding Your VS-880
This chapter is extremely important. It will explain the necessary concepts you will need to know in order
to operate your VS-880 efficiently, effectively, and creatively.
Sections of the VS-880
First, you should familiarize yourself with the VS-880 front panel.
There are three types of devices on the front panel of the VS-880.
CONTROLS – Controls make changes to the value of settings. For example, they change volume,
amount of EQ, panning position, etc. The only variable controls on the VS-880 are the
channel faders, pan pots, input sensitivity, headphone volume, aux send, and the Time/
Value dial.
COMMANDS – Commands instruct the VS-880 what to do next. For example, pressing the [PLAY]
button instructs the recorder to begin playback. Pressing the [UNDO] button tells the VS-880
to reverse the last action.
VISUAL INDICATORS – The LCD display provides information to the user about song position,
editing parameters, song information, etc. Panel mounted LED’s indicate command modes,
peak recording, etc.
