Main Features
The Latest in Compact Home
Studio Environments
The VS-1824 retains all of the features of Roland's VS-1880
Digital studio workstation, a revolution in the world of the
home studio, with the disk recorder, digital mixer, and multi
effects systematically integrated into a great sounding digital
recorder. From when you start picking mics to when you
actually record; from mixdown, to adding effects, and on to
creating the master data for playing through a PA or
mastering on a CD; you can easily control every aspect of the
recording process with the VS-1824 in your home studio.
Disk Recorder Section
The digital disk recorder section provides 18 playback
tracks, and allows eight tracks to be recorded
simultaneously. Each track features 16 virtual tracks (V-
Tracks), providing a total of 288 tracks altogether. This
means that you can record multiple takes, make
temporary mixes when editing and create songs that
require numerous tracks, all with room to spare.
The VS-1824's recording functions were designed for use
with professional digital equipment—DAT recorders,
digital mixers, digital effects, etc. You can record and edit
with top-quality sound, losing none of that quality in the
playback.
You can instantly find the location of sections in a song
you want to hear repeatedly (locator), or places that you
wish to record over by placing marks at these points
(marker). These markers are recalled by a simple
procedure, and you will never have to wait for any
rewinding or fast-forwarding.
Sounds are organized in phrases. Copying, moving, and
inserting these phrase units (using Phrase Edit), as well as
many other editing processes, are possible with the VS-
1824. For example, you can create "break beats" by
copying a four-measure drum pattern any number of
times, or have the same chorus both at the beginning and
end of a song.
You to cancel and recover up to 999 previous recording
and editing operations (Undo/Redo).
The internal clock runs on battery power, so it continues
to function even after the VS-1824's power is turned off.
This allows you to manage your songs by "time stamp,"
the time and date of recording that is registered in the
song data.
