Pressing [YES] or [NO] returns the VS-880 to the state you were in at Step 1. Insert a commercial software CD or a CD-R disc on which recording has been completed, and try the operation again. 35 Making Original CDs Only the following buttons, knobs, and faders affect the sound. Try listening to the contents of the disc. [ZERO]: Goes to the start of the first song. [REW]: Rapi dly rewinds as long as the button is held down. [FF]: Rapidly advances as long as the button is held down. [STOP]: Stops the CD. [PLAY]: Begins playing back from the present location. [PREVIOUS]: Returns to the previous song. [NEXT]: A d vances to the next song. Master Fader: Adjusts overall volume. Phones Knob: Adjusts headphone volume. Button, knob, and fader response way be slower than you expect, but this does not indicate any malfunction. For example, expect to wait about five seconds after pressing [PLA Y] or [NEXT] before you hear sound. Transport control buttons are used for controlling the CD drive. They are not controls for the VS-880’s songs. Furthermore, the content of the CD currently listened to cannot be recorded by the VS-880. When you are finished listening to the material, press [STOP]. 7 Afler finalize Press [CANCEL]. This returns you to the status at Step 2. Pressing [SONG] also returns you to Step 2. When listening to discs that have not been finalized, the last approximately 0.5 seconds of the song cannot be played back. Finalizing makes this portion audible.

Repeat the procedure described in ''Writing Songs to CD-R Discs" (p. 29). Here you can insert approximately two seconds of blank space between the new song and the song before it. Additionally, the track number is recorded automatically. Track number Silent portion (approx. 2 sec.)

Conversely, the process of loading backed-up song data onto the internal hard disk is referred to as "recovering." Besides all V-track performance data, backed-up data also includes Locator, Marker, and Scene settings made in the songs. In CD-R Backup, the song data is converted into a data format specifically for saving. This means that it will not be possible to directly play back the song data. If you wish to play back song data copied in archive format, you will need to reload the backed-up data into the current drive using the appropriate procedure. Furthermore, if you attempt to back up a song that does not fit on a single disc, it is copied onto multiple discs according to the free space available on the discs. Song data backed up on CD-RW discs cannot be rewritten. Thus, this procedure is most appropriate for backing up completed song data in its final form. • Song data recorded onto Zip disks cannot be backed up onto CD-RW discs. • Song data cannot be backed up onto discs that already have songs recorded on them. • Incorrectly conducting the backup procedure may result in the loss of data. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data. Furthermore, Roland does not warrant any copied data, regardless of the performance or condition of the CD-RW drive. Items Necessary for CD-R Backup • VS-880 • VS-CDRII (CD-RW drive) • Internal IDE hard disk • Blank CD-R or CD-RW disc 38 Saving a song to a CD-RW disc Saving Songs to CD-RW Discs (CD-R Backup) Checking whether the song was saved correctly (+Verify) After backing up a song to a CD-RW disc, you can check whether or not the data was saved correctly (i.e., check the recorded state of the data). If, as a result of the +Verify operation, you are warned that the song data has not been saved correctly, you should back up again, to a different disc. When backing up to a CD-RW, we recommend that you use +Verify to check whether the backup was performed correctly. However, + Verify checks the entire surface of the disc, so it takes a considerable amount of time. Specifying the speed of saving (Speed) When backing up a song on a CD-RW disc, you can now specify the speed at which ...
