Chapter 17 Using Hard Drives
This chapter explains basic concepts, internal structure, and
basic operation regarding the use of hard drives with the
VS-1824. Read this chapter thoroughly to gain a better
understanding of how the VS-1824 operates.
General Information
Regarding Hard Drives
The VS-1824 saves all of the data, such as performance data,
mixing data, system data, etc., on a hard disk drive.
The internal hard disk is not removable.
Drive Partitioning
The internal hard drive has 5 partitions. The size of each
partition is 2000 MB. If you would like to change partition
size, please refer to drive initializing on p. 229.
The VS-1824 is able to manage 500 MB, 1000 MB or 2000 MB
of disk space at once. If you use a disk drive with a capacity
that is greater than this, you will need to divide it into two or
more areas.
Each of these area is referred as a "partition." Up to eight
partitions can be created in a single disk drive.
Ex. 1:
When the disk drive is 10 GB, and the
partition size is 2000 MB.

Each partition on the VS-1824's disk drive is treated as an
independent drive, and automatically given a partition
number (0–7). When a single hard disk has multiple
partitions, you can specify which partition drive will be used
("Drive Select," p. 228). This selected disk drive partition
used is referred to as the "current drive."
* If you wish to use hard disks or song data with both the VS-
1824 and the VS-880/1680/880EX/890/VSR-880, there will
be limitations as to what you can do due to factors such as
differing partition sizes and numbers of tracks. For more
detailed information, please see "Drive Compatibility," p. 245.
VS-1880's song data is identical to that of the VS-1824.
