ErrLevel (Error Level)
This sets the interval (0–10) for checking MTC receiv-
ing status when synchronize VS-880EX with MTC
from an external MIDI device. If the MTC is not being
sent continuously, the VS-880EX checks the MTC and
if there is an error, cancels synchronization. By setting
a longer interval under such circumstances, synchro-
nization can continue, even if there is a certain degree
of error. Normally, set this to “5.”

Using External Effects
Devices
When using external effects devices, the AUX SEND
jacks (A, B) function as effects send jacks. Here we see
how effects can be added to a performance recorded in
stereo on Track 1. This is handy when, for example,
