This section explains the basic concepts of MIDI, and ho\v the
VS-890 handles MIDI messages.
What is MIDI
МЮ1 stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is a
worldwide standard that allows electronic musical
instruments and p>ersonal computer to exchange musical
performance data and messages such as sound selections.
Any MIDI-compatible device can transmit musical data (as
appropriate for the type of device) to any other МГО1compatible device, regardless of its manufacturer or model
type.
MIDI connectors
МГО1 messages (the data handled by MIDI) are transmitted
and received using the following three types of connectors.
On the VS-890, MIDI OUT and МГО1 THRU are handled by a
single connector, which can be switched to act as the desired
connector. (Owner's Manual p. 161)
MIDI IN; This receives МГО1 messages from external
МГО1 devices.
MIDI OUT: This transmits MIDI messages from the
VS-890.
MIDI THRU: This re-transmits all МГО1 messages that were
received at MIDI IN, without modifying them.
MIDI channels
МГО1 is able to send information over a single МГО1 cable
independently to two or more МГО1 devices. This is made
possible by the concept of MIDI channels. You can think of
МГО1 channels as being somewhat similar in function to the
channels on a television. By changing the channel of a TV set,
you can view a variety of programs being transmitted by
different broadcast stations. This is because data is received
only from the transmitter whose channel is selected on the
receiver.
In the same way, a МГО1 device whose receive channel is set
to "1" will receive only the data being transmitted by another
MIDI device whose transmit channel is also set to "1."
MIDI messages
The VS-890 uses the following typ>es of MIDI message.
these messages are used when you use a MIDI sound source
to play the metronome sound.
Program Change messages:
These messages are for the purpose of selecting sounds, and
contain a program number of 1-128, The VS-890 uses these
messages to select scenes and effects. (Owner's Manual p. 172)
Control Change messages:
In general, these messages are used to transmit information
such as vibrato, hold, and volume etc., that makes a
performance more expressive. The various functions are
differentiated by a controller number from 0-127, and the
controller number is defined for each function. The functions
that can be controlled on any given device will depend on
that device.
On the VS-890, these messages are used in a completely
different way than on most instruments; they are used to
control mixer parameters.
Exclusive messages:
Unlike note messages and control change messages,
exclusive messages are used to transmit settings that are
unique to,a particular device. On the VS-890, exclusive
messages can be used to control mixer parameters (in the
same way as control change messages). Normally, control
change messages are easier to handle, so they should be used
rather than exclusive messages. Exclusive messages intended
for different units are distinguished by their Device ID,
rather than by MIDI channel. When exclusive messages are
to be transmitted or received, you must set the Device ID of
both units to a matching setting.
MIDI implementation chart
MIDI allows a variety of electronic musical instruments to
communicate with each other. However it is not necessarily
the case that all devices will be able to communicate using all
types of MIDI message. They can only communicate using
those types of MIDI message that they have in common.
Each owner's manual for a MIDI device includes a MIDI
Implementation Chart. This chart shows you at a glance the
types of MIDI message that can be transmitted and received.
By comparing the implementation charts of two devices, you
will be able to see the types of message with which they will
be able to communicate.
Note messages:
These messages are used to play notes. On a keyboard, these
message transmit the key (note number) that was pressed,
and how strongly it was pressed (velodty). On the VS-890,
About SCSI
SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface. It is a
data transfer standard that allows large amounts of data to
be sent and received. The VS-890 comes prepared with a
SCSI connectors allowing you to connect external SCSI
devices such as hard disks and Zip drives. This section
describes the procedures and precautions taken when using
these devices.
Disk drives are precision devices. If they are connected or
used incorrectly, not only may they fail to operate correctly,
but the data on the disk can be lost or, in the worst case, the
disk drive itself may be damaged. Please be sure to read the
manual for your disk drive.
A disk drive being used for the first time with the VS-890
must be initialized by the VS-890 (Owner's Manual p. 134).
When a disk drive is initialized, all data on that disk drive is
lost. Before using a disk drive that has been used by another
device, make sure that it is all right to erase the data.
About Connections
Up to 7 disk drives can be connected to the SCSI connector of
the VS-890. Use SCSI cable to connect the disk drives,
connecting as shown below. SCSI connectors are not
distinguished by input and output ends, so you may attach
either end of the cable to the devices. Devices connected in
this fashion are referred to as a SCSI chain or daisy chain.
About Terminators
To protect against return noise, the device at each end of a
SCSI chain must have a terminating resistance. This is
referred to as a terminator. Since the VS-890 is one end of the
SCSI chaia its internal terminator is normally in effect.
Connect a terminator only to the last externa! drive in the
chain. There are two types of terminators, those that can be
switched on and off (internal) and those that are attached
using SCSI connections (externally attached). Select the
method appropriate for the disk drive you are using.
• Your disk drive may feature a terminator switch that is
normally left in the "On" position (i.e., the terminator is
usually in effect). Use this type of device as the last piece
in a daisy chain.
• Do not use double terminators. For example, don't attach
an externa! terminator to a disk drive that already has
and internal terminator.
Active Terminators
If you are using an external terminator, we recommend that
you make it an active terminator. In this case, if you are using
a disk drive that allows you to turn the power to the
terminator on and off, be sure to turn this power on. For
details on attaching an active terminator, refer to the owner's
manual ftrr your disk drive.
Active Terminator (p. 12), Terminator Power (p. 13)
VS-B90
The VS-890 features a DB-25 type connector (female).
After checking your disk drive to see what kind of SCSI
connector it uses, connect it with the appropriate cable.
Keep SCSI cables as short as possible, and use only
cables which have an impedance that is compatible with
the SCSI standard (llOQ + /-10%), and that are
completely shield.
Do not allow the total length of all SCSI cables
connecting the chain of disk drives to exceed 6.5 meters.
Do not connect or disconnect SCSI cables when the
power of any device is turned on.

(CD-RW Drive, etc)
About SCSI ID Numbers
Each disk drive is distinguished by its SCSI ID number (0-7).
ITiis means that when two or more disk drives are connected,
you must make settings so that the SCSI ID numbers of the
disk drives do not conflict (coincide). If the SCSI ID numbers
conflict, the VS-890 will not be able to correctly recognize the
disk drives.
With the factory settings, the VS-890 is set to SCSI ID number
7. Set the disk drives you are connected to ID numbers other
than 7.
Troubleshooting
When the VS-890 does not perform the way you expect,
check the following points before you suspect a malfunction.
If this does not re.solve the problem, contact servicing by
your dealer or qualified Roland Service Center.
Recording and Playback
No Sound
• The power of the VS-890 and the connected devices is
not turned on.
• The audio cables are not connected correctly.
• The audio cables are broken.
• The volume is turned down on the connected mixer or
amp.
• Each Levels of the VS-890 is turned down.
Channel fader
Master fader
PHONES knob
• The output jacks which are connected are different than
tlie output jacks selected in the master section of the
mixer (Owner's Manual p. 183).
• Short phrases less than 0.5 seconds cannot be played
back.
• The volume level of the instrument connected to
the VS-890 is too low.
—> Could you be using a connection cable that contains
a resistor? Use a connection cable that does not
contain a resistor.
• 1 can't record or play back, even when I press [PLAY].
-> Does the he PLAY indicator just blink green? When
the SYNC MODE fields in the display indicates
"EXT'," the VS-890 is receiving MTC receive standby
messages from the external MIDI device. Operate
the external MIDI device or press
-> When "PoweЮFF/RESTART" appears in the
display it means that the shutdown procedure is
being performed. Hold down [SHIFT] and press
[PLAY (RESTART)]. This restarts the VS-890.
[STOP].
A specific channels does not sound
• The input mixer or the track mixer has not selected
correctly.
• The volume level of the channel is turned down.
-> When switching between the input mixer and track
mixer, recalling Scenes, using Auto Mix, or in other
such situation, the actual volume levels may not
match the position of the faders. In such cases, bring
the faders up or down to match the settings.
• The track is off (the STATUS indicator is off).
• The Mix Send Switch is set to "Off."
• The Solo or Mute function (Owner's Manual p. 174) is
being used.
• "Cntrl Local" is set to "Off."
-> In this case, fader movements have no effect.
Cannot record
• The recording track has not been selected (the STATUS
indicator is not blinking red).
• Recording source tracks, playback tracks, or effects have
not been assigned.
• The disk drive has insufficient capacity.
• The song has an insufficient number of events (Owner's
Manual p. 24).
• The number of tracks which can be simultaneously
recorded will decrease.
When the Sample Rate is selected to "48 kHz," up to
6 tracks can be recorded simultaneously.
When the Vari Pitch is selected to "On," up to 4
tracks can be recorded simultaneously.
Cannot record digitally
• The QI) player's digital connection is not accepted
(Owner's Manual p. 67).
• The master clock is set to "INT" (Chvner's Manual p.
68).
• The DIGITAL IN connector (optical or coaxial) was not
properly selected.
Continued..
Troubleshooting
• The sampling rate of the recording destination song is
different than the sampling rate of the digital audio
device.
-> Match the sample rate setting of the digital audio
device to the setting of the song. If it is not possible
to change the sample rate of the digital audio device,
create a new song with that sample rate.
• The digital signal is not being transmitted from the
digital audio device.
-> Some digital audio devices do not output a digital
signal unless they are in play mode. If this is the
case, put your digital audio device in standby
(pause) mode before putting the VS-890 into record
mode.
• The digital signal format is different.
Some digital audio devices may use a special digital
signal format. Please connect to a digital audio
device that is compatible with S/ P DIF.
Noise and distortion appear in the
recorded sound
• Input sensitivity settings are incorrect.
If input sensitivity settings are too high, the
recorded sound will be distorted. Conversely, if they
are too low, the recorded sound will be obscured by
noise. Adjust the INPUT knobs so that the level
meters move at as high a level as possible, within the
range of -12 dB to 0 dB.
• The equalizer is being used with the input mixer.
Some equalizer settings may cause the sound to
distort even if the PEAK indicator does not light.
Readjust the equalizer.
• "ATT" (Attenuator) setting is incorrect. (Owner's
Manual p. 182)
-» If noise or distortion occurred as a result of track
bouncing, the track output levels were too high.
The playback pitch is strange
• The Vari-Pitch function is turned on.
• The time compression/expansion function is being used
(Owner's Manual p. 88).
Disk drive problems
The internal hard disk is not being
recognized
• The hard disk has not been installed correctly (User
Guide p. 5).
• "IDE Drive" is set to "Off" (Owner's Manual p. 194).
• The "Partition" settings are not right (Owner's Manual
p. 134).
When a high-capadty hard disk is installed in the
VS-890, we recommend setting the partition size to
"1000MB."
• Although the Track Erase operation is finished, the
available recording time does not increased.
-» The audio data is erased by Track Cut, Track Erase
or Phrase Delete etc., the data that is no longer
played back is not actually erased from the hard
disk. If you wish to increase the available recording
time, please read "If "Disk Full!" appears in the
di.splay (Song Optimize)" (Owner's Manual p. 122).
The Zip drive is not recognized
• The Zip drive is not connected correctly.
• The same device ID number is assigned to two or more
SCSI devices (Zip drives, CD-RW drives, etc.).
• The Zip drive has not been initialized (Owner's Manual
p. 134).
• No Zip disk is inserted in the drive.
When switching Zip disks, be sure to select the
newly inserted disk as the current drive.
• An archives copy Zip disk is inserted.
-> Playable copies £ind archives copies have different
disk formats. Take precautions such as sticking
labels on disks saved as archive type data disks to
distinguish the from other disks.
• The VS-890 song data saved on Zip disks cannot use the
computer's internal Zip drive.
-* The VS-890 song data format is particular to the VS-
890. Other than the other VS-series data ported
(Song Export) to the VS-890, the data cannot be
handled by other devices.
• Initialization is cancelled, with error messages such as
"Medium Error," "Not 512 bytes/sector," "Function
Failed!" or other messages appearing in the display
The Zip disk may scratched or be otherwise
damaged. Try another (new) disk to check whether
or not the same condition reappears.
-> The Zip drive may be broken. Connect the Zip drive
to a device other than the VS-890 (e.g., your
computer) to see if the drive can initialize disks, read
files, and perform other operations normally.
Troubleshooting
Internal Effects
Effects cannot be used
• You are attempting to select the algorithm for Reverb,
Gated Reverb, Vocoder 2, Voice Transformer or
Mastering Tool Kit with FX2.
• You are already attempting to select the algorithm for
Vocoder 2, Voice Transformer or Mastering Tool Kit
with FXl (Owner's Manual p. 119).
• I'd like to change the order of an effect algorithm.
The connection orders cannot be altered. They can
only be turned on or off. For more detailed
information on what goes on with the algorithm
orders, please refer to the "Algorithm List" (p. 25).
CD-RW Drive Problems
I made an audio CD on the CD-R/RW
drive, but it doesn't play on a
consumer CD player.
• The finalized process was not carried out. When making
audio CDs, set "Finalize" to "On" or "OnlyFin."
(Owner's Manual p. 143).
• Audio CD's created using a CD-RW disc cannot be
played on a conventional CD player. Please use a CD-R
disc.
The CD-R drive is not being recognized
• The CD-RW drive is not connected correctly.
• The same device ID number is assigned to two or more
SCSI devices (Zip drives, CD-RW drives, etc.).
• No CD-R/RW disc is iaserted in the drive.
• A CD-RW drive that is not designated by Roland.
Cannot write to CD-R discs
• The song's sample rate is set to something other than
44.1 kHz (Owner's Manual p. 143).
• No IDE hard disk is installed.
• The internal IDE hard disk does not have sufficient free
disk space.
• The CD-R disc does not have sufficient free space.
• You are trying to write to a commercial CD software
disc.
• You are trying to write to a CD-R disc that has been
finalized.
MIDI Devices Problems
With the VS-890 as master, the MIDI
sequencer does not respond to
commands
• The МГО1 cable is not connected correctly.
• The MIDI cable is broken.
• The МГО1 Thru switch is not set to "Out" (Owner's
Manual p. 160).
• "Sync Gen." (the sync generator) is not set to the
appropriate synchronization method (MTC, MIDI Clock,
Sync Track) (Owner's Manual p. 160).
• The SYNC MODE fields in the display indicates "EXT."
("Sync Source" is set to "EXT").
• The two devices are not set to the same t)?pe of MTC
(during MTC synchronization).
• The MIDI clock data has not been recorded on the sync
track (if you arc using the sync track for
synchronization).
• The settings of the MIDI sequencer are not correct.
• The MIDI sequencer is not ready to playback.
• The VS-890 mixer level and pan settings changed by
themselves.
-> The VS-890 receives Control Change messages as
well as System Exclusive messages. When set to
receive Control Change messages transmitted by a
MIDI sequencer, the VS-890's mixer can be
controlled by external devices. When this feature is
not needed, set the "Control Type" to "Off."
When synchronizing using a MIDI
sequencer as the master, the VS-890
does not respond to the sequencer
messages
• The MIDI cable is not connected correctly.
• The MIDI cable is broken.
• You are trying to synchronize using the MIDI clock.
The VS-890 cannot be run in slave mode using a
method other than MTC.
• The SYNC MODE fields in the display indicates "INT."
("Sync Source" is set to "INT").
• The two devices are not set to the same typ)e of MTC
(during ^ГГC synchronization).
• The settings of the MIDI sequencer are not correct.
• The VS-890 is not in playback standby mode (with the
PLAY indicator blinking).
• MFC reception is in poor condition.

Glossary
Active Terminator
A type of terniinator (a terminating resistance) place at each
end of a SCSI chain. A new addition to SCSI-2 specifications,
compared with ordinary terminators, it provides greater
operating stability for SCSI devices, thus improving signal
transmission performance.
CD-R
Short for Compact Disc Recordable. This is a system for
reading and writing discs in the seme format as that used for
CDs (CD-ROMs and music CDs). A specialized CD-R drive
allows one-time only writing of discs.
However, as long as the data has not been finalized and there
is sufficient capacity remaining on the disc, the CD-R drive
can be used for multiple additions to, and changes in the
material.
Sometimes they are referred to as "Write Once CD," "CDWrite Once," or something similar.
CD-RW
Short for Compact Disc Rewritable. This is a system
allowing creation of discs that can be read using the same
format as regular CDs (CD-ROMs and Music CDs). While
resembling the CD-R system in that it uses a special CD-RW
drive, these discs can be rewritten any number of times.
COSM
Stands for Composite Object Sound Modeling. This is "a
technology which combines multiple sound models to create
new sounds," which was first used on the Roland's VG-8 VGuitar System. For example, .sounds created on the VG-8 are
the result of a variety of sound models (elements) such as the
pickup, the body of the guitar, the guitar amp, mic, and
speaker etc.
Current Song
The song currently being recorded, played back, or edited is
referred to as the current song.
DAT
Short for Digital Audio Tape. This refers both to the system
of recording digitized sound to magnetic tape, as well as to
the tapes themselves. Besides digital audio signals, all song
information is recorded on the tape, including starts and
track data, information to allow or prevent copying, etc.
Formants
A formant is an important element which determine the
character of a vocal sound. It is a fixed overtone whose
location is determined by the size of the vocal chords.
Conventional pitch shifters modify the pitch in a way that
changes even the location of the formants (which by nature
do not change). For example when a conventional pitch
shifter raises the pitch, a "duck voice" is produced as if the
vocal chords had shrunk, and when the pitch is lowered a
"giant voice" is produced as if the vocal chords had
expanded.
The Voice Transformer modifies the basic pitch and the
formant separately, allowing a variety of voice characters to
be created.
Frame
Similar to the individual frames in a roll of movie film, the
numerous still pictures that are displayed in rapid succession
to create a moving video image are also known as "frames."
About thirty of these frames are shown each second. When
hard disk recorders, sequencers, and other such equipment
are synchronized with video, it is generally assumed that
there should be one frame every 1 / 30th of a second.
GPi
GPI stands for General Purpose Interface. This is a control
jack provided on professional and consumer video devices
such as video editors and title superimpoters. By connecting
this control jack to the foot sw'itch jack of the VS-890 and
setting die Foot Switch Assign to "GPI," the connected
device will be able to playback/stop the VS-890.
IDE
IDE stands for Integrated Device and Electronics. This is
the standard data transmission method used by the hard disk
drives of recent personal computers. The HDP88 series hard
disk drives (sold separately) that can be installed in the
VS-890 are IDE compatible.
MMC
MMC is an acronym for MIDI Machine Control. This is rule
that defines how MIDI system exclusive message can be used
to control multiple recording devices from a single device.
The VS-890 supports MMC. In addition to song playback,
stop and fast-forward, you can also select the tracks for
recording, etc.
Finalize
This is the operation that writes the TOC to a prepared audio
disc. Whereas additions and changes can be made to discs
that have not yet been finalized, such discs are not playable
on regular CD players.

MTC
MTC stands for MIDI Time Code. This is a group of
messages which are transmitted and received between МГО1
devices to synchronize their operation. Unlike MIDI Clock
messages, MTC specifies an absolute time. Like SMPTE time
code, MTC also supports a variety of frame rates. If you wish
to use MTC to synchronize the operation of two devices, both
devices must be set to the same frame rate.
Glossary
NTSC Format
Color television format used in Japan, the United States, and
other countries. Tapes recorded in the NTSC format cannot
be played back on video decks utilizing the SECAM/PAL
formats.
R-BUS
Roland's digital communication specification developed to
allow audio and control data to be exchanged between
devices. Multi-channel audio signals, word clock, and MIDIcompatible operation data and synchronization signals can
be exchanged. A single R-BUS connector allows
simultaneous bi-directional transfer of eight channels of
digital audio data. The connector is a DB-25 type, and uses a
special cable for connections. It should NOT be connected to
other types of ports that use similar connectors!
The VS-890 is NOT provided the R-BUS connector.
Removable Disk Drives
Disk drives that have been able to remove the disk, such as a
Zip drive, arc referred to as the "removable disk drives."
RSS
RSS stands for Roland Sound System. This is an effect
which allows a sound source to be placed in threedimensional space when played back on a conventional
stereo system. The sound can be placed not only in front of
the listener, but also directly to the side, above, below, and
behind the listener.
S/P DIF
S/P DIF stands for Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format.
This is a specifications for transmitting and receiving stereo
digital audio signals between digital audio devices.
The VS-890 provides coaxial connectors which support S/P
DIF.
SCMS
SCMS stands for Serial Copy Management System. This is
a function that protects the rights of copyright holders by
prohibiting recording via a digital connection for more than
two generations. When digital connections are made
between digital recorders that implement this function,
SCMS data will be recorded along with the audio data.
Digital audio data which contains this SCMS data cannot
again be recorded via a digital connection.
SECAM Formaf's/PAL Formats
Color television formats used in Europe and other areas.
Tapes recorded in the SECAM or PAL formats cannot be
played back on video decks designed for the NTSC format.
Shutdown
In order to turn the power off safely, you must first make
sure that the performance has been saved to hard disk, and
that the hard disk heads are parked. This procedure is
referred to as Shutdown.
SMPTE time code
This is a signal format defined by the American organization
SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers)
which is used to synchronize the operation of video or audio
devices. SMPTE specifies "hours:minutes:seconds;frames" to
indicate the address of each frame of a video image. For this
reason, there are a variety of frame rates.
Terminator Power
This refers to the power supplied to external type active
terminators.
TOC
Short for Table of Contents. This is the region on the CD-R
disc that handles information such as song times, end times,
sequence, and so on. Although the songs on a disc and their
playing time can be displayed when an audio CD is placed in
a CD player, this is because they can be read automatically
from the TOC. The TOC is recorded differently than music
data, with its main characteristic being disc access, such as
the ability to go to the start of any song instantly.
Track Minufes
The amount of available recording time that is called for a
standard unit corresponding to the time of one continuous
monaural signal recorded to one track.
Zip Drive
A magnetic disk drive format standardized by Iomega
Corporation. Disks that can be used for reading and writing
data with Zip drives are call Zip disks. Similar to 3.5-inch
floppy disks in size and usage, one Zip disk can store 100 MB
of data.
SCSI
SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface. This is a
data transmission method that can transmit large amounts of
data in a short time. Since the VS-890 has a SCSI connector,
external SCSI devices such as hard disks or removable disk
drive etc. can be connected.

Algorithm List
Reverb
This feature adds reverberation to the sound to simulate the size of space such as a hall and a room.
Sound types
Sounds around us can be analyzed and categorized into three types: direct sounds, early reflections and
reverberation. A direct sound is the sound that reaches the listener directly from the source. An early reflection is
the sound that has rebounded from the wall once, twice or several times. A reverberation is the sound we hear
after sound reflections are repeated many times.
II
.
.. .
.. .. ... ... ..
11^
Relationship between sound and time
Reflected sound reach the listener in the following sequence. The pre-delay is the time from when the direct
sound is heard until the reverb is heard. The reverb time is the time over which the reverb decays to silence.
Level
Reverb sound quality
The sound quality of a reverb is affected by materials of the walls and other members from which the sound is
rebounded. This is because the degree of attenuation in the high and low frequency bands varies. HF-Damp Gain
and LF-Damp Gain are provided so that you can adjust such attenuation degrees. The smaller the value becomes,
the steeper the degree of attenuation of the reverberation becomes severer in the high and low frequency bands.
In addition, in order to obtain softer reverberation, make the frequency lower by using HF-Damp Frequency
(HiFreq-Damp Freq). In order to obtain harder reverberation, make the frequency higher by using LF-Damp
Frequency (LoFreq-Damp Freq).

Vocoder
The vocoder creates "talking instrument" effects. To use Vocoder, input an instrumental sound into the left
channel and a vocal sound into the right channel. The instrumental sound is split into ten frequency bands to be
processed according to its frequency components.
Output L
Input R (MIc)
Output R

Instrumental sounds are input into the L-channel side of the effect. Therefore, it is required to insert and connect
"Lch" of the effect to the channel handling instrumental sounds. Similarly, vocal sounds are input into the R-
channel side of the effect. Insert and connect "Rch" of the effect to the channel handling vocal sounds.
Tips for using Vocoder
It is a good idea to choose instrumental sounds containing a lot of overtones. Recommended .sounds include those
with saw-tooth waveforms such as strings and distorted guitar sounds.

Precautions for usinc^ RSS
In order to obtain the maximum effect from the RSS, observe the following points.
• Acoustically "dead" rooms are most suitable.
• A single-way speaker is suited. However, a multi-way type will do if it incorporates the coaxial or virtual
coaxial system.
• Place the speakers as far as possible from the wedls on the sides.
• Do not separate the right and left speakers too much.
• Recommended sweet spots for listening are as follows:
Labeling on RSS product package
In order to allow RSS to demonstrate its maximum performance, it is important to specify listening environment.
For sale, we recommend that you should attach the following labeling on the packages of your products produced
by using RSS patches.
i For Stereo Speakers
This sound is made to be played specifically through speakers.
The proper effect cannot be obtained if listened to through headphones.
Less reflections from the wall
or floor are better.

Delay RSS
The right-side, left-side and center Delay sounds can be set separately. As RSS is connected to both the right and
left outputs, the sound image of the sound from the left-side channel is localized at 90" to the left and that of the
sound from the right-side channel at 90" to the right. The center Delay output can receive the Feedback effect.

Algorithm List

Usage of Guitar Multi 1 through 3
The basic configuration is almost identical for all of Guitar-Multi 1 through 3. The only difference is the type of
the second effect (heavy metal, distortion, and overdrive). Select Guitar Multi 1 to add severe distortion to the
sound, and select Guitar Multi 3 for soft distortion as that achieved with the vacuum tube amplifier.
Adding Wah effect by changing input volume
Typically, Auto-Wah provides an automatic wah effect at the cycle set with Rate (Rate).
Alternatively, you can give wah effect according to changes of input volume. For example, you can apply the wah
effect so that it reflects changes in picking on the guitar. First, adjust sensitivity for changes in input volume by
using Sense (Sens). Set it to a larger value for finer subtlety. After that, you simply dedde the direction into which
the filter should be moved by entering a setting for Polarity (Pol).
Selecting Guitar Amplifier
You can select which typ« of Guitar Amplifier to use with Mode (Mode) under Guitar Amplifier Simulator.
Compressors used in Guitar Multi 1 through 3 are designed to accommodate playing of the guitar, providing a
slightly different effect from ordinary compressors. Compressors for the guitar unifies volumes by suppressing
signals at high levels and enhancing signals at low levels.
Unlike these, ordinary compressors simply suppress signals at high levels.

Algorithm List
Dual Comp/Um (Dual Compressor/Limitler)
Compressors suppress signais at high levels. Limiter is used to control excessive input. Each of the above is used
to prevent sound distortion or to control dynamics.
Input B
Input A is input into the L-charmel side of the effect. Therefore, it is required to insert and connect "Lch" of the
effect to the channel handling Input A. Similarly, Input B is input into the R-channel side of the effect. Insert and
connect "Rch" of the effect to the channel handling Input B.
Difference between Compressor and Limiter
Behaviors of Compressor and Limiter are very similar. Both of them compress the entire output signals if input
signals exceed a certain level (threshold level), according to the input level.
Compressor automatically drops the amplitude to suppress all levels in the exceeding section. Limiter suppresses
only the maximvun level of input signals.

Creating lo-fi sounds
Follow the steps below to create lo-fi sounds essential to dance music including hip-hop and DJ music.
Lo-fi Processor
• Turn Pre Filter and Post Filter off. This provides powerful lo-fi sounds containing digital distortion.
• Set Rate and Bit to relatively low values. Note, however, an excessively low value for Bit may cause big
noise even in the silent mode. In that case, increase Threshold (Thresh) of Noise Suppressor.

ParametricEQ (4-Band Parametric Equalizer)
This is an equalizer that can freely change the cutoff frequency or the band width (Q). With this equalizer, you
can create sounds with subtlety.
..........................
Cutting noise.
4-Band Parametric Equalizer can freely change the cutoff frequency or the band width (Q) at four points, that is,
in the high, high middle, low middle and low frequency bands.
Capitalizing on this feature, you can precisely capture the point where any noise or howling is occurring. To find
such point, the first step is to increase the gain for easier identification of sound variation and move the cutoff
frequency little by little. Then, perform filtering by sharpening "Q."
ControHinq Channels A and B separately
Setting Link On enables simultaneous control on the 4-Band Parametric Equalizer via Channel B according to the
settings on the Channel A side. To control Channels A and B separately, turn Link off.

Vocal Canceler
when a stereo source is being input from CD or DA T and so on, this cancels the sound which is located in the
stereo center, such as the vocal or bass.
Depending on the music source, sounds that you do not wish to be canceled may be canceled as well. In
particular if the musical source has heavy reverb or if the sound that you wish to delete is not located in the
center, the vocal canceler may not produce the desired result.
Canceling the vocals alone
Vocal Canceler cancels the sound located in the center. That means it cancels sounds such as the bass and sounds
of the lead instrument along with vocal sounds. To cancel vocals only to create music for karaoke, for example,
set Range Lo to aroimd 100 Hz and Range Hi to around 1 kHz.

Difference between Vocoder and Vocoder 2
Compared to Vocoder, Vocoder 2 has a significant number of frequency bands as points. It also makes it possible
to make fine adjustment including adjustment of the input sensitivity of the microphone and location of sounds
as well as setting the input level for instrumental sounds and removing noise. All this yields dear human voices.
“Envelope” for defining sound characteristics
Each sound has its own envelope. An envelope gives characteristics to the sound and functions as a significant
factor for the human ear to distinguish different sound tyfies. On Vocoder 2, you can use Envelope to give the
following characteristics.
Sharp:
Soft:
Long:
Enhances human voice.
Enhances instrumental sound.
Vintage sound with long reverberation.

Stereo (Odd-number frequencies are located to the left and even-number frequendes to
the right.)
Sounding instrumental sounds with the formant fixed
While inputting voice through the microphone, instrumental sounds can be sounded at the same vocal formant.
For example, when saying "a-i-u-e-o" into the microphone, set "Hold" On at the moment the speaker is on the
"i" sound to issue an instrumental sound with the formant of the "i" sound.

Microphone types that can be simulated
The characteristics of the low-end general-purpose microphone are converted into the characteristics of the high-
end microphone for studio application. You can add sound Cfuality changes to already recorded sounds just as if
a different type of microphone were used or if they were recorded at a different distance. In addition, it is possible
to add microphone characteristics to line-recorded instrumental sounds. These characteristics can be set up by
selecting the relevant value for Out of Mic Converter.
SmlDy: Dynamic microphone for general musical instruments and vocal sounds. Ideal for a guitar
amplifier and snare drums.
VocDy: Dynamic microphone for standard vocal sounds. Characterized in middle frequency band sounds
with tension. Suited for vocal.
LrgDy: Dynamic microphone with a extended low frequency band. For bass and tom drums.
SmlCn: Small condeaser microphone for musical instruments. Characterized in bright high frequency
band sounds. For metal percussion and acoustic guitars.
LrgCn: Condenser microphone ivith flat characteristics. For vocal, narration and live musical instruments.
VntCn: Vintage condenser microphone. For vocal and live musical instruments.
Flat: Microphone with flat frequency response. For removing peculiarity of the microphone used for
recording sounds.
* When a condenser-type mic is selected in OUT, low-range noise transmitted through the mic stand may be
accentuated due to the mic's low range characteristics. In such instatices, either cut out any unnecessary Ioi pend
with bass cut filter, or equip the mic stand with an isolation mount (a mic holder with rubber or other shock
absorbing material).
Proximity effect of microphone
In nature, a microphone tends to extend the low frequency band characteristics when placed close to the sound
source. This is called proximity effect. This effect can be simulated in Proximity Effect (Prox-Efect). Set the
parameter to a positive (+) value for a shorter distance to the sound source and a negative (-) value for a longer
distance to the sound source. Time of Distance simulates the time difference due to distance from the sound
source.

Effect of “Detect Time” under Input
With ordinary compressors, a moment of delay occurs to suppress a level over instance after it has been detected.
With this algorithm, this problem is bypassed by using the input sound only for level detection and adding a
specified length of delay to the sound for processing and output. "Detect Time" under Input is the setting of the
delay time for this purpose. Note that supplying Detect Time causes time difference between input and output of
audio signals, requiring due considerations if used for operations other than mastering (ex. channel insertion).
Splitting into frequency bands

•MIDI Time Code Quarter Frame Messages
MIDI Time Code Quarter Frame Messages can be transmitted while the VS-ВВД is running
(Playing or Recording) if the SYS1EM parameter "SynSource" is ‘1NT" and "SyrnGen." is
"MTC" in the SYSIEM parameter. The transmitted lime counts are summed to
•SMPTE(MTC) Offset Time" as the song lop is "OOrOO:OOK)0.”
The VS-890 synchronizes with the lime counts w'hich are summed to 'SMPTE (MTC) Offset
Time" as the song top is "(Ю:00:00:00’' if the SYSTEM parameter "SyniSource" is "EXT."
