Modifying The Organization Of The Performance (Move) - Roland VXpanded VS-880 Owner's Manual

* If playback data exists at the copy destination, that data
will be overwritten.
* Playback data of a channel for which Channel Link is ON
cannot be copied to a track whose channel has a Channel
Link setting of OFF. Nor is the converse possible.
* The length of the data to be copied must be greater than
0.5 seconds. If data shorter than 0.5 seconds is copied, the
sound will not playback.
1. Select the V-track that contains the copy source play-
back data, and prepare that data for playback.
2. Press [TRACK], select "TRK Track Copy?," and press
[YES]. The display will let you select the copy source
track, and the copy destination track and V-track.

3. Use [SEL (CH EDIT)] to select the copy source track.
When the copy source track is selected, the V-track
selected for that channel will be the copy source V-
track. Next, press CURSOR [
tination field blink, use [SEL (CH EDIT)] to select the
copy destination track, and use the TIME/VALUE dial to
select the copy destination V-track
If you wish to perform a copy operation with the same
settings for other tracks, select the copy source and
copy destination tracks, and press CURSOR [
again. Now you can specify the new copy source and
copy destination tracks. In this case, it will not be possi-
ble to select copy destination tracks that have already
been selected as copy source tracks.
If you wish to cancel the copy operation for a track, use
PARAMETER [ ][
that track, and press [CANCEL (NO)] twice.
4. Set the following items, and execute the copy opera-
tion.
St (start point): Specify the starting time of the
copy source playback data.
End (end point): Specify the ending time of the copy
source playback data.
Frm (from point): Specify the time of the copy source
playback data that will correspond
to the To point. Normally you will
set this to be the same as the Start
point.
To (to point): Specify the base time of the copy
destination.
Copy Time: Specify the number of copies
(1Ð99).

< An easy way to specify the time settings >
Times for the Start point, From point, End point, and To
point can be specified directly without having to display
the Track Copy page. In Play condition, use the following
procedure.
1. Move to the beginning (Start point) of the copy source
performance data.
2. Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC1/5].
3. Move to the time location in the destination to which
the performance data will be copied (From point).
4. Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC2/6].
5. Move to the end location of the copy source perfor-
mance data (End point).
6. Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC3/7].
7. Move to the basic time of the copy destination (To
point).
8. Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC4/8].
If you now access the Track Copy page, the times that
were specified in steps 1Ð8 will be input as the time set-
tings for the respective points.
Modifying the organization
of the performance (Move)
This operation moves the playback data of the specified area
to another location. This can be used to correct skewed tim-
ing that occurred during recording. This operation can move
the timing of two or more tracks of playback data at once.
Normally when moving playback data, the data will be
moved so that it begins at the move destination timing.
However it is also possible to move the data relative to a
location within the data at which a specific sound occurs. To
do so, use the ÒFrm (From)Ó setting.
For example suppose that you wish to move a sound effect
of a time bomb ticking and then exploding, so that the
explosion occurs at a specific timing location. Normally,
you would have to calculate the time until the explosion in
order to specify the move destination time. However in
such cases, you can specify ÒFromÓ as Òthe move source
time at which the explosion begins,Ó and specify ÒToÓ (the
base time of the move destination) as Òthe move destination
time at which you want the explosion to occur.Ó This lets
you move the data with the explosion placed at precisely
the right timing.
