Chapter 18 CD Backup
You can connect an optional Roland-approved CD-R/CD-
RW drive—such as Roland’s VS-CDRII—to the VS-1680’s
SCSI connector. This chapter explains how to create your
own original audio CD and backup song data to CD-R/CD-
RW discs. For more detailed information about SCSI, refer to
“About SCSI” (
Appendices , p. 5).
This chapter describes various general CD-R or CD-RW
operations. See
Chapter 13 to learn about mastering a song to
a CD-R or CD-RW.
Connecting the CD-R/CD-RW
Drive
* To prevent malfunction and or damage to speakers or SCSI
devices, always turn down the volume and turn off the power
to all devices before changing any connections.
1.
Connect the CD-R/CD-RW drive to the VS-1680 as
shown. If the CD-R is the only SCSI device connected to
the VS-1680, or is the last device in the chain, make sure
that a terminator plug is connected to its remaining SCSI
port or that its termination switch is set to “On.”
2.
Turn on the power of the CD-R/CD-RW drive.

3.
Turn on the power of the VS-1680.
* In order for the VS-1680 to properly recognize the CD-R/CD-
RW drive upon boot-up, it is very important to turn the CD-
R/CD-RW drive on first, and then turn on the VS-1680.
4.
Turn on the power of connected audio equipment.
5.
Raise the volume of the audio devices as desired.
CD-R Backup and Recover
You can save song data stored on the VS-1680’s hard drive to
CD-R/CD-RW discs. This procedure is called “CD-R
backup.” The process of loading backed-up song data from a
CD-R/CD-RW disc onto the VS-1680 hard drive is referred to
as “CD-R recover.” Besides all V-Track recordings, backed-
up data also includes locators, markers, mixer Scenes,
Automix data, and Undo levels.
In CD-R backup, song data is converted into a data format
specifically for saving. This means it is not possible to play
back song data directly from the CD-R/CD-RW drive. If you
wish to play the backup data, it must be recovered onto a VS-
1680 hard drive first. A song that will not fit on a single disc
will be copied across multiple discs based on the available
free space on the discs.
* Only song data on the internal drive can be backed up onto
CD-R/CD-RW discs.
* Song data cannot be backed up to discs that already have songs
(audio tracks) recorded on them.
* You may lose song data by incorrectly performing the CD-R
backup procedure. 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-R/CD-RW drive.
Backed-up VS-1680 song data on a CD—or anywhere else—
cannot be directly read by a Windows or Macintosh
computer.
Items Necessary for CD-R Backup
• VS-1680
• Roland-approved CD-R/CD-RW Drive
