The TRACK/STATUS Buttons

Each TRACK/STATUS button sets the behavior of its
corresponding track.
On the VS-2000, the TRACK/STATUS buttons perform a host of
tasks. In this chapter, we'll discuss their primary use. In order to the
TRACK/STATUS buttons to behave as described in this chapter, the
CH EDIT, LOCATOR•SCENE and SOLO•MUTE lights must be
unlit, and the VS-2000's Rhythm Track and Harmony features must
not be currently using the TRACK/STATUS buttons.

How the TRACK/STATUS Buttons Work

Each time you press a TRACK/STATUS button, you change the current operating mode
of the corresponding track. (We'll mention some shortcuts for doing this later on.) The
TRACK/STATUS button's color shows you the track's current state:
If the button is:
Not lit
Green
Flashing red
Flashing red and amber
Solidly lit red

Recording

This section describes recording a single mono track. If you'd like to record stereo audio
across a pair of tracks, link their track channels (Page 150) and use the same procedure.

Before Recording a Track

Select a V-Track
When you record a track, you're recording audio on the track's currently selected
V-Track—to learn what a V-Track is, see Page 94. You can select a V-Track on the Home
screen's V-Track map (Page 127) or by setting the corresponding track channel's
CH EDIT V.Trk parameter (Page 149). In either case, you'll need to select the desired
V-Track before recording.
Set Up Your Routing
Before you can record a signal, you've got to get it to the track. To learn how to route the
input channel's signal to the track or pair of tracks, see Page 170.
