During Playback of a Song
Scenes cannot be switched during playback of a
song. Because of this, the VS-880EX stops momen-
tarily if it receives a program change message
during playback instructing it to change scenes.
While it is stopped, the scene is switched, and
then playback resumes.
Furthermore, during recording, only effect pro-
gram change messages can be received. Scenes
cannot be switched during recording.
