Installing plug-in effects in the V Studio
The installed VS plug-in programs come in two forms: an Authorized version and a Trial
version. For details, refer to the owner's manual of the VS8F-3 (p. 11).
Installation procedure
1. Carefully read the included leaflet "License agreement for Roland software" and
verify that you accept the conditions.
2. Insert the SETUP DISC into the CD-R/RW drive.
3. Show PLUG-IN INSTALL screen on following steps.
VS-1680
1. Press [SHIFT]+[F6 (UTIL)].
The Utility Menu screen will appear.
2. Press [PAGE] several times until "PIIns"
will be appeared at the F1 (function 1).
The Utility Menu screen page 3 will appear.
4. Press [F1 (PIIns)].
The PLUG-IN INSTALL screen will appear. This shows product information about the
VS plug-in program (manufacturer, product name, plug-in version, and size).
The drive (partition) in which the plug-in program is to be installed will be decided by
the V Studio. The drive information is shown at "DESTINATION" on "PLUG-IN
INSTALL" screen. Check that the remaining capacity of the disk is bigger than the size of
VS plug-in program to be installed. For installation, a remaining capacity of twice or
more than the VS plug-in program size is required.
5. Press [F5 (INSTL)].
The "Install?" popup will appear.
6. To begin the installation, press [ENTER/YES].
The "AUTHORIZE?" popup will appear.
7. If you want to install the authorized version, press [ENTER/YES]. If you want to
install the trial version, press [EXIT/NO].
If you press [ENTER/YES], authorization data will be written to the SETUP DISC and the
hard disk, and the program will be installed. If you press [ENTER/NO], a trial version
will be installed but authorization data will not be written.
The "Really, Sure?" popup will appear.
8. To confirm the installation, press [ENTER/YES].
9. When installation is completed, remove the SETUP DISC.
The CD-RW menu screen will appear.
Backing up your VS plug-in programs
If the SETUP DISC becomes lost or damaged after you have used it to install the authorized
version of a plug-in program, you will be unable to re-install (p. 8) the plug-in. As a
safeguard against such problems, we strongly recommend that you back up your VS
plug-in programs on a commercially available CD-R/RW disc after authorization using the
following steps.
Backing up also lets you save the user patches of the plug-in effect to the CD-R/RW disc.
1. Insert a blank CD-R/RW disc into the CD-R/RW drive.
VS-1880/1824/1824CD
1. Press [CD-RW].
The CD-RW/Mastering Menu screen will
appear.
2. Press [PAGE] several times until "PIIns"
will be appeared at the F1 (function 1).
The CD-RW/Mastering Menu screen page 2
will appear.
If you're using the
VS-1824CD, you can install
your system using the
internal CD-R/RW drive.
If you're using the
VS-1680/1880/1824 (the
model without an installed
CD-R/RW drive), you will
need an external SCSI
CD-RW drive for the
installation, such as the
VS-CDR-II/III or a
compatible Plextor CD
drive. The VS-CDR-I can
not be used for this
installation.
If the SETUP DISC is not
yet inserted after Step 4, a
message of "Please Insert
Plug-in CD" will appear,
and the CD-RW drive tray
will open.
The plug-in programs will
be installed in the drive
(partition) that precedes
the last drive. For example
if you have drives
IDE0~IDE3, the programs
will be installed in the
IDE2 drive.
If you are unable to install
successfully even when
using a not-yet-authorized
SETUP DISC, please
contact your dealer or a
Roland service center
listed in the "Information"
section of the manual.
The contents of the SETUP
DISC are recorded in VS
format (the dedicated data
format of the V Studio).
Therefore, it is impossible to
make a backup disc on a PC.
