Play and Record Settings

These are settings related to the overall workings of the Play

red), you can hear the previously recorded material by
pressing play, and you can hear the input source during
recording. During recording, you can press [STATUS] to
switch between monitoring the recorded track and
monitoring the input source. It is also possible to set the
VS-1680 so the input source is always monitored.

Fade Length

During track editing, or punch-in and punch-out recording,
it is possible that a tiny audio click may occur. The VS-1680
can fade in and fade out these edges so no noise is heard.
Adjust the Fade Length if an objectionable noise occurs as a
result of editing or recording. A Fade Length setting applies
to both the fade-in at the beginning of a phrase, and the
fadeout at the end of the phrase.

Menu icon is displayed. If the System Menu icon does

Input Mixer, the Track Mixer, the Master Block, as well as
changes in the System Menu screens, and you want to
quickly restore the VS-1680 to its default settings.
* After initializing mixer and system settings, many settings
