Creating A Sync Track Automatically - Roland VS-1824 Owner's Manual

Create a Tempo Map from Markers
After placing markers for each beat of a song, it is possible to

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.

Creating a Sync Track Automatically

In cases where live audio was recorded into the VS-1824
before a tempo map was set, you can automatically create a
sync track based on two points in the song, and then convert
the sync track to a tempo map using the method explained
above ("Creating a Tempo Map from a Sync Track"). For this
procedure to work you must know the exact number of
measures in the song, and there cannot be any tempo or time
signature changes in the song.
To automatically create a sync track, you must specify a start
time, an end time, and the exact number of measures
between the start time and the end time.
1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [EXT SYNC].
