Owner`s manual

Playlists: Data that specifies “which phrases are played back and the order
in which they are played” is called a playlist. The VS-1680 fea-
tures 256 V-tracks, and a maximum of sixteen tracks that can be
played back simultaneously. In the playlist, the phrases pasted
to each track are displayed as a number of boxes.
About Events
The smallest unit of memory used by the VS-1680 to store recorded results on
disk is called an event. A newly created song is provided approximately 18,000
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.153) uses up six 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 cancel
(REDO) the last UNDO if you once execute STORE.
● Execute Song Optimize (p. 169)
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. 160)
If you have recorded AutoMix data, erase unnecessary data. Events served for
unnecessary AutoMix data will be released.
