Listening to the Demo Song with a Different Arrangement (Scene) Demo songs contain several completely different sets of settings for pan, playback track, and effects etc. These settings are collectively called a scene. By recalling different scenes or changing the scene while you playback a demo song, you can hear the demo song arranged in different ways. Here's how you can listen to various arrangements of the demo. For details refer to "Mixer Section Block Diagram" (Appendices) 1» Listening to the Demo Songs Press [STOP]. Press [SCENE], The button indicator will light. Of the [LOC] ([l]-[8]) buttons, select and press a button whose indicator is lit. If you wish to recall scene2, press LOC [2]. Press [PLAY]. The song will be playback. Notice that the arrangement of the demo song is different. Press [STOP]. Playback will stop. Repeat steps 3-5 to hear and compare various arrangements of the demo song. Please stop playback before you switch scenes. When hear and compare ends, press [SCENE]. The button indicator will go dark. For details refer to "Storing Mixer Settings" (Owner's Manual p. 45) Making a Multi-Track Recording This chapter explains the basic procedure for recording on the VS-890. Please follow through these steps to understand the procedure. Regarding Hard Disk Partition Size When purchased, the hard disk (HDP88 series) is divided (partitioned) into 1,000 MB units. If you are using a hard disk that is 2100 MB or larger, the VS-1680 demo song "SEEMS SO RIGHT" will also be saved but this cannot be playback by the VS-890. The total size of these demo songs is approximately 490 MB, so the space that can actually be used is approximately 510 MB. If you wish to record for a longer time, you can switch the partition (e.g., IDE:0 -* IDE:1). If you are using a 2100 MB or larger hard disk, switch partitions before you continue with the operations of this chapter (multitrack recording) so that you will have a longer recording time available (p. 23). If you wish to completely delete "SEEMS SO RIGHT" from the hard disk to increase the available space, you can initialize the hard disk (p. 69). At this time, all songs that are saved on the hard disk (including the VS-880 demo song) will be erased, and cannot be recovered. As necessary, back up the songs to a CD-RW disc (p. 126). * • ■ CD-RW (Appendices p. 12) Creating a New Song (Song New) 5 4,6 3 -tmmi--fiiatfi*- ÖÖÖÖÖÖ ed“® ■■ tb iM^Vr Ji. Lk I I I I >k.
