Chapter 20 Compatibility with Other VS Recorders
Drives used with Roland's VS-890, 1680, VS-880/880EX or
VSR-880 can also be used by the VS-1824. Song data recorded
on such drives can be loaded by the VS-1824. Because of
differences in the structure of drive space and song data
between the VS-1680, VS-880/880EX,VS-890 and the
VSR-880, there are a number of precautions concerning the
loading and saving of data that should be observed.
VS-1880's song data is identical to that of the VS-1824.
VS-2480's song data cannot be used on VS-1824.
The internal hard disk is not removable. Therefor, internal
hard disks used on other VS series (VS-1680, VS-880/
880EX,VS-890 and the VSR-880) cannot be used on VS-1824.
Drive Compatibility
VS-1680, VS-880/880EX,
VS-890 or VSR-880
When external hard drives that have been used by a
VS-1680, VS-880/880EX, VS-890 or VSR-880 are attached to a
VS-1824, they are recognized as a formatted disk.
The VS-1824 can be used for playing back songs recorded
with the VS-1680, VS-880/880EX, VS-890 or VSR-880.
However, before you can use the VS-1824 to edit such songs,
or save new versions of them, you must first use Song Import
to convert the songs to VS-1824 format.
VS-890/VSR-880 Partition numbers:
The VSR-880 supports the use of up to 10 (0-9) partitions,
while the VS-1824 supports the use of up to eight. VS-890/
VSR-880 Partitions 8 and 9 will not be recognized by the
VS-1824.
Song Copy Archive Data
VS-1680, VS-880/880EX, VS-890 or VSR-880 song data that
has been saved to a hard drive or CD-R using the Song Copy
Archive or CD-R Backup procedure can be restored to the
VS-1824. However, you cannot edit or re-save the recovered
data on the VS-1824 until you have used Song Import.
* If you wish to edit VS-1680, VS-880/880EX, VS-890 or VSR-
880 song data with the VS-1824, use the Song Copy Archives
Extract (p. 227) or the CD-R Recover procedure (p. 241) first.
Then convert it to a VS-1824 song using Song Import.

Song data that has been saved using the DAT backup
procedure on the VS-1680 or VS-880/880EX can be recovered
by the VS-1824.
VS-1824

When external hard drives that have been used by a VS-1824
are attached to a VS-1680, VS-880/880EX, VS-890 or VSR-880,
they are recognized as a formatted disk, provided they meet
the conditions below. The VS-1680, VS-880/880EX, VS-890
and VSR-880, however, cannot load VS-1824 songs unless
they have been converted to the desired VS's format using
the VS-1824's Song Export procedure (p. 247).

allow you to transfer song data between the VS-1824 and the
