Using Effects

If optional VS8F-2 effect expansion boards are
installed in the VS-1680, up to 4 high-quality stereo
effects will be available for your use. If you do have
the VS8F-2 installed in your VS-1680, try adding some
effects.
* For instructions on how to install the VS8F-2, please read

Applying Effects to the Playback

When playing back a song, you can have effects such
as reverb and delay applied to the sound. Here is an
example of how to hear a song played back using the
VS8F-2 to add reverb to Track 8.
Select an Effect:
1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [F3 (EFFECT A)].
The Effect A menu appears in the display.
If "No Effect Board" Appears in the
Display
This indicates there is no VS8F-2 installed. In this
case, you cannot use the internal effects.
If the message appears even when a VS8F-2 is
installed, it indicates that the effect expansion
board has not being recognized properly.
Perform the shutdown procedure and turn the
power off as described in "Turning Off the
Power" (p. 32), then reinstall the VS8F-2 correctly.
