Out of the box, the VS-2480DVD/2480CD
includes two stereo effects processors enabling
you to add anything from studio-quality
reverb and delay to COSM guitar amp/speaker
cabinet models without the hassle of noisy
external effects. What’s more, you can add
optional VS8F-2 Effect Expansion Boards for
up to eight stereo or 16 mono effects, giving
you all the processing power you need.
At the heart of the VS-2480DVD/2480CD’s
internal effects are 36 of Roland’s best effects
algorithms. The culmination of years of
Roland and BOSS effects know-how, these
include all the studio essentials like reverb,
chorus and delay, plus guitar and vocal multis,
Lo-Fi processing, a Voice Transformer and
Vocoder. And with 250 Preset effects patches,
you can spend less time programming and
more time making music. Best of all, the
VS-2480DVD/2480CD’s onboard effects also
include Roland’s acclaimed Composite Object
Sound Modeling (COSM) technology. COSM
uses multiple modeling methods to accurately
emulate anything from guitar amps and speaker
cabinets to a variety of dynamic and condenser
microphones—even popular reference monitors.
Roland’s COSM Mic Modeling technology
enables you to “model” the characteristics of a
variety of high-end studio microphones using
affordable mics such as the
DR-20 Dynamic Microphone.
The VS-2480DVD/2480CD
takes things even further by
adding compatibility with the
AKG C3000B, so now this
popular condenser microphone
can be used as a reference
standard for mic modeling as
well, giving you classic small-
and large-diaphragm condenser
mic sounds, popular dynamic
mic sounds and more.
Complete in every way, the VS-2480DVD/
2480CD’s effects processors feature a Mastering
Tool Kit with split-frequency compression,
enhancers, limiters and parametric EQ to
give your mixes more punch and attitude.
It’s the perfect step to take before burning a
CD. With the Mastering Tool Kit,
professionals have all the tools they need to
create polished-sounding mixes without the
need for external processing.
When Roland designed the VS-2480DVD/
2480CD, the goal was to create a professional
workstation with an operating system both
comfortable and easy to use. And while at
first this might seem difficult given all the
power afforded by this remarkable technology,
the VS-2480's large LCD, analog-style
knobs, VGA monitor output and other
features make it the most intuitive recording
workstation ever.
Do you miss the days when mixing consoles
were loaded with knobs? Good news. The
VS-2480DVD/2480CD’s 16 rotary knobs can
be used for dedicated panning, or as a single
channel strip for direct control over a selected
channel’s dynamics and EQ. So now you don’t
have to give up the control you crave to mix in
the digital domain.
Take your production to the next level by
adding an optional ASCII keyboard, MB-24
Level Meter Bridge and VE-7000 Channel
Edit Controller. Using the keyboard, you can
name songs and phrases quickly, while the
meter bridge provides convenient level
monitoring. The VE-7000, on the other
hand, provides a joystick for 5.1 Surround
positioning and dedicated knobs for channel
strip editing, freeing up the VS-2480DVD/
2480CD’s 16 knobs for panning.
The VS-2480DVD/2480CD’s Word Clock
input allows it to slave to a master digital clock
for jitter-free recording—a must for those using
several pieces of digital gear. A rear SMPTE
input makes it possible to sync the VS-2480
DVD/2480CD to video—perfect for those
working in commercial production or film.
Choose the VS-2480DVD with a DVD multi-
drive or VS-2480CD with a CD-R/RW drive
built-in. Either way, you’ll be able to burn audio
CDs and back up data at blazing speeds. CD-R
and CD-RW discs can be used for normal CD
burning on both models. And with the CD
Capture function, you can import tracks from
audio CDs directly into your projects, making it
easy to integrate loops into your recordings.
It’s no secret that a room’s acoustics can
significantly impact the way your music
sounds when mixing. So to help you avoid
making costly mistakes, the VS-2480DVD/
2480CD includes a Realtime Spectrum
Analyzer. This feature
helps you tune your
EQ to account for
the room’s dynamics—
translating into more
accurate mixes.
In addition to its recording capabilities, the
VS-2480DVD/2480CD includes a new
phrase pad function with up to 24-voice
polyphony. Using the phrase pads, you can
trigger up to 24 different phrases such as one-
shot SFX or vocals directly from disk.
The VS-2480DVD/2480CD includes two
R-BUS ports for 16 channels of 24-bit digital
I/O. Use R-BUS to connect the VS-2480DVD/
2480CD to R-BUS-ready products, or for
adding up to 16 channels of high-quality A/D-
D/A’s or AES/EBU using optional interface boxes.
For example, with the ADA-7000 8-Channel
A/D-D/A Converter, you get eight channels of
balanced XLR/TRS inputs with 24-bit converters
for connecting additional microphones or
instruments. And with the AE-7000 AES/
EBU Interface, you can run eight channels of
professional AES/EBU digital audio.

First Ever 3rd Party Plug-in Support
The VS-2480DVD/2480CD is the first stand-alone recording
workstation to offer an open effects architecture, making it possible
to use plug-in effects from several 3rd party manufacturers. Depending
on the algorithm, you can run up to eight plug-in effects with four
optional VS8F-3 Effect Expansion Boards*—bringing the vast world of
plug-ins into your V-Studio. Every VS8F-3 includes a selection of high-
quality Roland plug-ins to get you started, including Pre-Amp Modeling,
Stereo Reverb, Vocal Channel Strip and more. Optional plug-ins are
available from a growing list of 3rd party developers, including Antares,
IK Multimedia, Massenburg, Universal Audio and more.
This brand new, 56-bit, true stereo reverb

used as a stereo insert or even in a dual-mono
configuration for use with multiple tracks.

To be VS8F-3 compatible, a V-Studio must be updated via the CD-ROM included with the VS8F-3. Currently, the VS-2480 Series, VS-2400CD and VS-2000CD can accept the VS8F-3
update. Updates for the VS-1680, VS-1880 and VS-1824/1824CD are planned for 2004.
Auto-Tune VS corrects intonation problems in vocals or solo instruments in real time, without

the VS-1176LN supports the popular “All Buttons” mode.
Designed by the same manufacturer of the classic
hardware version, the VS-LA2A is an exacting
emulation of the original, putting this legendary
compressor in your V-Studio. And operation is
simple, thanks to a dedicated Limit/Compress
switch and Input/Peak Reduction knobs.
*Note that the optional plug-ins shown are based on their appearance when displayed on an optional VGA monitor. As the plug-ins are still under development, actual product appearance and specifications are subject to change.
