Other Methods to Generate A
Sync Track or Tempo Map
There may be instances when audio is recorded into the VS-1824
before a sync track is recorded, or before a tempo map is
generated. It is possible to create a sync track or tempo map to
match previously recorded audio. This is helpful when you
want to record a new MIDI sequence on an external sequencer
based upon the previously recorded tracks in the VS-1824. For
example, you might want to program a drum machine to add
percussion parts to a previously recorded live drum track in the
VS-1824. If you create a sync track or tempo map which matches
the live drum track, the MIDI sequence will be in sync.
Place Markers Along with the Tempo
1. Press [ZERO].
2. Press [PLAY] to begin song playback.
3. While listening to the song, press [TAP] on each beat of
each measure, for the entire song.

Create a Sync Track from Markers
After placing markers at each beat of a song, it is possible to
convert the marker data into a sync track. This is useful when
you have already recorded a guitar or vocal performance in
the VS-1824, and now you want to synchronize a MIDI
sequencer to the recording.
1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [EXT SYNC].
