Selecting V-Tracks
The VS-1680 provides 16 recordable tracks per channel.

[PAGE] until it appears, and then press [F5 (V.Trk)].
3.
Use the TIME/VALUE dial to choose the V-Track you
want to use. Note, you cannot change the V-Track while
the song is playing. If the song is playing, press [STOP],
and then use the TIME/VALUE dial to choose the
V-Track.

Using the Equalizer (EQ)
Each channel of both the Input Mixer and the Track Mixer
has a user-definable EQ. You can choose either a two-band
(Low, High), or three-band (Low, Mid, High) parametric EQ
on a channel-by-channel basis. To use the EQ, first set up EQ
settings separately for each channel. Then, while listening to
the entire mix, make final adjustments to the EQ, panning,
and level for each channel.
* While adjusting the EQ when a track is playing, you may hear
short clicks, especially if you change the EQ value very
rapidly. This is not a malfunction. To avoid any such noise,
change EQ settings slowly.
