Simultaneously adjusting a
stereo source (Channel Link)
When recording or playing back a stereo source, normal
mixer operation requires you to control the left and right
channels separately. This makes it inconvenient to control
the left/right volume balance or equalizer settings. In such
cases, turn on the Channel Link function so that a pair of
channels can be controlled in stereo.
When Channel Link is on, odd- and even-numbered adja-
cent channels will paired as shown below, and the settings
of each odd-numbered channel will be the same as the set-
tings of the corresponding even-numbered channel. When
the settings of one channel are modified, the settings of the
paired channel will change in the same way.
Channel 1: stereo a (left)
Channel 2: stereo a (right)
Channel 3: stereo b (left)

The PAN knob and faders of each channel will function as
follows.
Odd-numbered channel faders:
will adjust the volume level of the stereo signal output
to the MIX buss or the REC buss.
Odd-numbered channel PAN knobs:
will adjust the left/right volume balance of the stereo
signal output to the MIX buss or the REC buss.
Even-numbered channel faders:
will adjust the volume level of the stereo signal output
to the AUX buss (A, B).
Even-numbered channel PAN knobs:
will adjust the left/right volume balance of the stereo
signal output to the AUX buss (A, B).
To turn on Channel Link, use the following procedure.
1. Press [CH EDIT] for one of the channels for which you
want to turn on Channel Link.
2. Press PARAMETER [

Undoing a recording or
editing operation
While using the VS-880, there may be times when a record-
ing does not proceed as you wish, or when you would like
to re-do an operation. In such cases, use the Undo function.
The Undo function cancels the operation that you have per-
formed, and returns the data to its previous condition. To
cancel the last-performed Undo operation, you can use the
Redo function.
When using the Undo function, you will specify the number
of previous steps that will be undone. For example, suppose
that you use punch-in recording to perform five consecutive
re-recordings of the same location. If you later decide to
return to the condition of the second recording (step 2), you
would set the Undo function to return to the condition of
three steps earlier (Undo Level 3).

recording 4
recording 3
recording 2
recording 1
If, after executing the Undo operation, you decide to return
to the condition of step 5, execute the Redo operation.
However if you once again record (step 3Õ) after returning
to the condition of recording number 2, the recordings 3Ð5
that were canceled by the Undo operation will be lost. This
means that if after step 3Õ you use the Undo operation to
return to the previous step, you will return to the condition
of step 2.
Recording/editing operations
which can be undone (Undo)
Recording or editing operations performed after creating a
song are recorded together with the song data as its opera-
tion history, and the data itself is also preserved without
being erased. For example, suppose that you perform 10
recording operations on song 1 and then create song 2. The
operation history of song 2 is newly recorded from the time
when song 2 was created. If you subsequently select song 1
again, the history of the 10 previous recording operations
will still be there.
The Undo function refers to the operation history of the cur-
rently selected song, and restores the song to the condition
in which it was the specified number of operations ago. In
the case of song 1 in this example, you will be able to cancel
the 10 recording operations that were performed. A maxi-
mum of 999 levels of operation history is recorded for each
song.
