There are three types of devices on the front panel of the VS-880EX.
CONTROLS – Controls make changes to the value of settings. For example, they change volume,
amount of EQ, panning position, etc. The only variable controls on the VS-880EX are the

Value dial.
COMMANDS – Commands instruct the VS-880EX what to do next. For example, pressing the

the VS-880EX to reverse the last action.
VISUAL INDICATORS – The LCD display provides information to the user about song position,
editing parameters, song information, etc. Panel mounted LED's indicate command modes,
