Overall Settings for the VS-
880EX
These are setting related to the overall operation of the
VS-880EX.
Holding the function of [SHIFT]
(Shift Lock)
You can temporarily hold functions by pressing
[SHIFT]. Operations such as switching V-tracks or sav-
ing songs can be performed with one hand.
1. Press [SYSTEM] several times until “SYS System
PRM ?” appears in the display.
2. Press [YES].
3. Press PARAMETER [ ] several times until
“SYS Shift Lock=” appears in the display.
4. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
Shift Lock (Shift Lock Switch)
Setting to “On” temporarily holds the [SHIFT] button
function.
5. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].
Return to Play condition.
6. Afterwards, the [SHIFT] button indicator light
goes on and off each time the button is pressed.
[SHIFT] is in effect when the indicator is lit. The
hold is lifted the next time another button is
pressed or if the TIME/VALUE dial is rotated.
Displaying Measures and Beats
If both the metronome is being used and MIDI clock
messages are being transmitted, the measure and beat
of the song can be displayed in the graphic display.
When you are running in synchronization with an
external device or recording a song along with a previ-
ously-created tempo map, this allows you to operate
the VS-880EX just as though you were operating a
MIDI sequencer. Set the metronome to sound as
described in “Sounding the Metronome” (p. 154).
1. Press [SYSTEM] several times until “SYS System
PRM ?” appears in the display.
2. Press [YES].
3. Press PARAMETER [ ] several times until
“SYS MeasureDsp=” appears in the display.
4. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
MeasureDsp
Use this to select whether or not the measure and beat
appear in the graphic display.
Always: The measure and beat are constantly dis-
played.
Auto: The measure and beat are not displayed
when the metronome is not in use.
5. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].
Return to Play condition.
Example Procedure for Switching the Solo
Function ON
1. Press [SHIFT] and immediately release the
button.
The SHIFT indicator lights. The display will
briefly indicate “Shift Lock.” The display in the
“CONDITION” field will alternate between the
name of the current condition and “sft,” also indi-
cating that the Shift Lock function is on.
2. Press[SOLO (EZ ROUTING)].
The display will briefly indicate “SOLO Mode
ON,” indicating that the Solo function is on. The
SHIFT indicator goes off.
When Holding Down the [SHIFT] Button
If [SHIFT] is held down during the operation, the
Shift Lock function will be ignored. For example,
if you hold down the [SHIFT] and press
[AUTOMIX (VARI PITCH)], Shift Lock will not be
turned on when you take your finger off [SHIFT].
The function of [SHIFT] itself remains in effect, so
the the Vari-Pitch function is on at this time.
Additionally, rotating the TIME/VALUE dial
while holding down the [SHIFT] button increases
or decreases the value of some parameter setting
by a factor of ten (or 1/10).
