VS-880 Application Guide

A very important feature of random access recording is the ability to play the same recording over and

over and over, without actually recording it that way. For example, let’s assume that you have recorded a

drum groove on Tr. 1-1 for 12 measures. Now you decide that you want to make a 10 minute dance mix

based on this 12 measure drum groove.

The beginning and ending of the drum part will define the section to be copied. Then instruct the VS-880

to copy the drum part, end to end, for a defined number of times up to 99. The drum part will now repeat

over and over again, end to end, creating a long dance track. (For more - see the VS-880 V-Xpanded

Owner’s Manual, Chapter 4).
