About Events
The smallest unit of memory used by the VS-880EX to
store recorded results on disk is called an event. A
newly created song is provided approximately 12,800
events.
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 (p. 142) uses up 5 events for each Marker.
Even when your disk has ample free space, one song
can use up all the available events, in which case no
more data could be recorded to the song.
Remaining number of Events can be saved with the
following procedures. Please try the most appropriate
one with your situation.
Execute Song Store (p. 32)
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 can-
cel (REDO) the last UNDO if you once execute STORE.
Execute Song Optimize (p. 156)
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.
Erase AutoMix data (p. 146)
If you have recorded AutoMix data, erase unnecessary
data. Events served for unnecessary AutoMix data will
be released.
