Installation procedure

1. Carefully read the included leaflet "License agreement for Roland software" and verify
that you accept the conditions.
2. Insert the SETUP DISC into the CD-R/RW drive.
3. Press [CD-RW].
The CD-RW menu screen will appear.
4. Select Page 2 "PLUG-IN Inst," and press [ENTER/YES].
The PLUG-IN INSTALL screen will appear. This shows product information about the VS
plug-in program (manufacturer, product name, plug-in version, and size).
The drive (partition) in which the plug-in program is to be installed will be decided by
the VS series device. The drive information is shown at "DESTINATION" on "PLUG-IN
INSTALL" screen. Check that the remaining capacity of the disk is bigger than the size of
VS plug-in program to be installed. For installation, a remaining capacity of twice or
more than the VS plug-in program size is required.

The "Install?" popup will appear.
6. To begin the installation, press [ENTER/YES].
The "AUTHORIZE?" popup will appear.
7. If you want to install the authorized version, press [ENTER/YES]. If you want to install
the trial version, press [EXIT/NO].
If you press [ENTER/YES], authorization data will be written to the SETUP DISC and the
hard disk, and the program will be installed. If you press [ENTER/NO], a trial version will
be installed but authorization data will not be written.
The "Really, Sure?" popup will appear.
8. To confirm the installation, press [ENTER/YES].
9. When installation is completed, remove the SETUP DISC.
The CD-RW menu screen will appear.

Backing up your VS plug-in programs

If the SETUP DISC becomes lost or damaged after you have used it to install the authorized
version of a plug-in program, you will be unable to re-install (p. 16) the plug-in. As a
safeguard against such problems, we strongly recommend that you back up your VS
plug-in programs on a commercially available CD-R/RW disc after authorization.
Backing up also lets you save the user patches of the plug-in effect to the CD-R/RW disc.
1. Insert a blank CD-R/RW disc into the CD-R/RW drive.
2. Press [CD-RW].
The CD-RW menu screen will appear.
3. Select Page 2 "PLUG-IN Back," and press [ENTER/YES].
The PLUG-IN BACKUP screen will appear. This lists the VS plug-in programs that are
installed on the hard disk.
4. Use the cursor to select the plug-in that you want to back up, and press [F4 (BACKUP)].
The "Backup?" popup will appear.
5. To begin the backing up, press [ENTER/YES].
The "Really, Sure?" popup will appear.
6. To confirm the backing up, press [ENTER/YES].
If you press [ENTER/YES], VS plug-in programs will be backed up to CD-R/RW disc.
The PLUG-IN BACKUP screen will appear.
The contents of the SETUP DISC are recorded in VS format (the dedicated data format of
the VS series). Therefore, it is impossible to make a backup disc on a PC.
If you are unable to install
successfully even when
using a not-yet-authorized
SETUP DISC, please
contact your dealer or a
Roland service center
listed in the "Information"
section of the manual.
If the SETUP DISC is not
yet inserted after Step 6, a
message of "Please Insert
Plug-in CD" will appear,
and the CD-RW drive tray
will open.
The plug-in programs will
be installed in the drive
(partition) that precedes
the last drive. For example
if you have drives
IDE0~IDE3, the programs
will be installed in the
IDE2 drive.
If you lose or damage the
SETUP DISC after
authorization, a fee will be
charged for a correctly
functioning replacement
disc. Be sure to back up
your VS plug-in programs
in order to avoid such an
inconvenience.
It is able to use the
backuped plug-in program
as authorized version if
installed to VS series with
Key Card.
