Restoring the mixer settings
to the initial state
After you have made repeated tries at mixing, you can
restore the various condition settings of Channel edit,
Master Block edit and System edit to the initial state in
which they were when the song was created.
However the volume level and pan of each channel and the
volume level of the master section will be according to the
positions of the pan knobs and fader on the top panel.
* Even if you restore the mixer settings to their initial state,
the song, scene, tempo map and sync track data will not
be lost. Furthermore, the IDE drive, SCSI self ID, scene,
Shift Lock, and Numerics Type settings will not return to
their default state.
1. Press [SYSTEM] several times until “SYS System PRM
?” is displayed.
2. Press [YES].
3. Press PARAMETER [ ] several times until “SYS Init
Mix/SysPRM ?” is displayed.
4. Press [YES].
A message will ask you to confirm that you really want
to restore the mixer to the initial settings.
5. Press [YES]. To cancel the operation press [NO].
When the mixer settings return to the initial state, you
will be in Play condition.
If there is no internal hard
disk
Even if there is no internal hard disk, the VS-880 can be
used by connecting only an external drive such as a Zip
drive to the SCSI connector. In this case, approximately 30
seconds extra time will be required for the system to start
up after the power is turned on, while the system checks to
see whether an internal hard disk is connected. You can
avoid having to wait this extra time by making settings so
that an IDE drive is not used.
1. Press [SYSTEM] several times until “SYS DISK PRM ?”
appears.
2. Press [YES].
The display will indicate ÒSYS DSK:IDE Drv=Ó.
3. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
IDE Drv (IDE drive)
On: The internal hard disk will be used.
Off: The internal hard disk will not be used.
4. Press [PLAY(DISPLAY)].
You will return to Play condition.
