Saving a Recorded
Performance (Song Store)
The contents of any recorded performance will be lost
if you simply turn the power off, or even if there is an
accidental power failure or power outage. Once lost,
the contents of a recorded performance cannot be
restored to the previous conditions. To avoid this
from happening, use the following procedure to save
your songs to the disk.
* When handling important song data, or when using the
VS-880EX for extended periods, we recommended that
you to perform this procedure frequently.
1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [STORE (ZERO)].
2. “STORE OK?” appears in the display. If you are
satisfied with the results of your recording, press
[YES]. If you wish to cancel the save, press [NO].
* The contents of the demo songs are protected from being
changed or overwritten (Song Protect (p. 64)). You can-
not save operation with the demo songs. This means if you
press [YES] at Step 2 when a demo song is selected, the
message “Song Protected” will appear, and the procedure
cannot be continued.

When You Are Recording in Stereo
When recording in stereo, or when recording to
tracks with Channel Link (p. 149) on, you can set
the pan for each input channel. After Step 5, per-
form the procedure described below.
5-1. Press the SELECT button for the input chan-
nel you want assigned as the source.
The SELECT indicator lights.
5-2. Press PARAMETER [ ] [ ] several
times until “MIX Sw” appears in the dis-
play.
5-3. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
MIX Sw (Mix Switch)
This selects the bus to which the source or track
output will be assigned. For this example select
“On.”
On: The source or track will be sent to the mix
bus. Set this to “On” when, for example,
you simply want to mix the inputs without
recording the source. However, the sources
that are assigned to the RECORDING bus
are disabled.
Off: The source or track will not be assigned to
the mix bus. If it is not assigned to a record-
ing bus either, then that source/track will
not be output anywhere.
5-4. Press PARAMETER [ ].
5-5. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
MIX Pan
This adjusts the pan setting (L63–0–R63) of the
signal sent to the MIX bus and the RECORDING
bus.
5-6. Repeat Steps 5-1 through 5-3 for all input
channels to which you want to make pan
settings.
5-7. After making the pan setting, press [PLAY
(DISPLAY)].
Return to Play condition.
