Finding Your Edit Points - Roland VXpanded VS-880 Application Manual

Think of each of the eight primary recording tracks in the VS-880 having eight
layers. Each Virtual Track (layer) is completely independent from the others. You
can record up to 64 tracks total, however, only eight can be played simultaneously.

Finding Your Edit Points

The VS-880 provides a number of tools
to assist you in finding the exact location
in your song to make a edit. The confident
use of these tools will make editing and
assembling your song quick and simple.

PREVIEW TO,
PREVIEW FROM,
PREVIEW THROUGH (TO + FROM),
and SCRUB.
(see the Owners Manual, page 76)
EXAMPLE: Find the beginning of the word "Cat". During playback, press [STOP] as close to the beginning
of the word as possible. Press PREVIEW [FROM] and PREVIEW [TO] alternately. If you do not hear the
beginning of "cat" during PREVIEW [FROM], you are too far ahead. If you do not hear the beginning of
'cat' during PREVIEW [TO], you are too far behind. Adjust the now time by using the TIME/VALUE dial
until you just hear the beginning of the "C" from 'cat' using PREVIEW [TO], then backup slightly.
PREVIEW [FROM] should then begin playing exactly at the beginning of 'cat'. Your Now Time is set
exactly on the beginning of the word 'cat'.
An alternate way to edit the above example is the use of SCRUB. Refer to Owner's Manual page 76-77.
