Chapter 4 Recording Operations
Recording on Other Tracks
(Overdubbing)
In multitrack recording, the standard procedure is to record
new tracks while listening to previously recorded tracks.
This is referred to as “overdubbing.”
1.
Select the tracks you want to play back. Hold [STOP] and
press the STATUS button for the tracks you want to play
back (i.e. that you want to hear while overdubbing). The
STATUS buttons light green.
Holding [STOP] and pressing a [STATUS] button will place
that channel in Play mode immediately. Hold [REC] and
press a [STATUS] button to place a channel in Record Ready
mode.
2.
Select the tracks you want to record. Hold [REC] and
press the STATUS button for the tracks you want to
record. The STATUS buttons light red.
3.
Select the inputs to Record for each track. While holding
the STATUS button for the track you will record, press
the Input SELECT buttons for the input you want
assigned to the track. The SELECT button will blink,
indicating it is now assigned to the track.
4.
Now you are ready for overdubbing. Follow Steps 4-17
of "Recording to the Tracks" (p. 55), to record and then
check the track’s recorded content.
Recording Using Different
Virtual Tracks (V-Tracks)
Each track is actually comprised of 16 separate layers. Each
layer is called a “virtual track,” or “V-Track.” You can use
V-Tracks to record up to 16 different performances on each
track for a total of 256 performances per song.
1.
Press the SELECT button for the track whose V-Track
you wish to change. The button indicator lights. The
Track Mixer screen appears in the display.
2.
Press [F5 (V.Trk)]. If “V.Trk” does not appear above [F5],
press [PAGE] until it appears, and then press [F5
(V.Trk)]. Or, you may simply use [ ], [ ], [ ],
and [ ] to move the cursor to “V. Trk” in the Track
Mixer display.
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.

Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.
Begin recording as explained in "Recording to the Tracks," p.
55.
Saving a Recorded
Performance (Song Store)
The contents of a recorded performance will be lost if you
simply turn the power off, or if there is an accidental power
failure or power outage. When you switch songs or change
disks, a message will ask you to confirm whether the
currently selected song should be saved (“STORE Current?”
will be displayed). Also, the contents of a recorded song can
be lost due to unforeseen accidents, such as a power failure
or power outage.
Once lost, the contents of a recorded
song cannot be restored to its previous condition. To
prevent this from happening, use the following procedure to
save your songs on the hard drive.
Current Song (See Appendices , p. 63)
* When handling important song data, or when using the VS-
1680 for extended periods, we strongly recommend you use the
Song Store procedure frequently. Changes to protected songs,
such as the demo songs, cannot be saved.
1.
Stop the song if it is playing, then hold [SHIFT] and press
[ZERO/(STORE)].
2.
“STORE OK?” appears in the display. Press [YES]. If the
song is saved properly, the startup display reappears. If
you wish to cancel the STORE command, press [NO].
Track STATUS Buttons
The status for each track changes each time you press its
STATUS button. You can determine the status by the color of
the button:
Orange: Source mode
The input source assigned to the channel is heard.
Track to be recorded or played back
Track onto which performance data is recorded
Tracks with no performance data recorded on them
