Owner`s manual

You can connect a CD-R drive which is designated by
Roland, to the VS-1680’s SCSI connector. This chapter
explains the procedures involved in creating your own
original audio CDs and in backing up song data to
CD-R discs. Refer to the owner’s manual of CD-R
drive as you proceed.
In addition, for more detailed information on SCSI,
please refer to “About SCSI” (Appendices p. 5).
Connecting the CD-R Drive
* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or
other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off
the power on all devices before making any connections.

1. Turn on the power of the CD-R drive.
2. Turn on the power of the VS-1680.
3. Turn on the power of connected audio equipment.
4. Raise the volume of the audio devices to appropri-
ate levels.
Creating an Audio CD
You can create your own audio CD by writing sound
data that from two specified tracks on the VS-1680 to a
CD-R disc.
The VS-1680 first creates a CD-R image data file on its
internal IDE hard disk, then writes that image data to
the CD-R disc. Thus, an internal IDE hard disk is
necessary for this procedure. Furthermore, internal
IDE hard disk must has a enough free space on the
hard disk for the creation of the image data file.
* Regardless of partition settings, all free space on the inter-
nal hard disk may be accessed by the image data file. After
writing of the image data file to the CD-R disc is complet-
ed, it is automatically deleted.
Items Necessary for Creating an
Audio CD
• VS-1680 (1)
• CD-R drive (designated by Roland) (1)
• Internal IDE hard disk (1)
• Blank CD-R (Compact Disc-Recordable) disc
• Audio equipment to be connected to the MASTER
jacks, or stereo headphones
Creating a Master Data
What is written to the CD-R disc is performance data
of the current song in two tracks (stereo tracks).
This is not the performance data that can be heard
from the output from the MASTER jacks or PHONES
jack. Song data that can be written to CD-R discs for
the creation of original audio CDs must satisfy the fol-
lowing conditions. Check the disc you plan to use.
Sample rate and recording mode:
Only songs with a sample rate of 44.1 kHz can be
written to CD-R discs. Songs with sample rates other
than this cannot be written to CD-R discs. While any
recording mode may be used, for the higher-quality
original CDs, either MTP (Multi-Track Pro), MAS
(Mastering), or MT1 (Multi-Track 1) is recommended
(p. 58).
