About “!!! Lack of EVENT !!” display
Ò!!! Lack of EVENT !!Ó will be appeared in the display in the
following cases, and you cannot continue the current opera-
tion.
¥ If you push [SCENE]+[REC] buttons to record
AutoMix data in
realtime, when the remaining num-
ber of EVENT is
less than 1000.
¥ If you try to
UNDO or REDO when the remaining
number of Event is
less than 200.
The smallest unit of memory used by the VS-880 to store
recorded results on disk are the
events. A newly created
song provides approximately 12,000 events per song.
For each track, one recording pass uses two events.
Operations such as punch-in/out or track copy also use up
events. The number of events that are used up will fluctuate
in a complex way. For example, auto mix uses up five
events for each mark point.
When you do a lot of recording, editing (Track Copy, Track
Move) or record AutoMix of long period, please check the
remaining number of Events frequently. Procedure is as fol-
lows.
1. Press [SYSTEM] several times until “SYS System
PRM?” appears.
2. Press [YES].
3. Press PARAMETER [ ] several times until “SYS
RemainDsp=” appears.
4. Select “Event” with TIME/VALUE dial.
Remaining number of Events can be saved with the follow-
ing procedures. Please try the most appropriate one with
your situation.
• Execute Song Store (Owner's manual p.74)
Please Execute Song Store if in UNDO condition
([UNDO] indicator is lit.). Events served for REDO will be
released. But please note that you cannot cancel (REDO)
the last UNDO if you once execute STORE.
• Execute Song Optimize (Owner's manual p.113)
Please execute Song Optimize if you have done a lot of
Punch In recording. Events served for unnecessary audio
data will be released. But please note that you can only do
single level UNDO.
• Erace AutoMix data (Owner's manual p.19)
If you have recorded AutoMix data, erase unnecessary
data. Events served for unnecessary AutoMix data will be
released.
