For about the third week in a row a member of the VS Planet has posted a drum loop for those that want to create a tune to it.
The Rhodes is from the Yamaha Motif with all internal effects turned off, the output is going to the MF 103 with both outputs going to the hard disc recorder (VS248o) the inputs are panned hard left and right. The bass is a string bass from the Motif midi’d to a string bass like patch on the Voyager. The first synth paert is two Voyagers and an LP midi’d together . the main lead synth is the LP. The clavinet is from the Motif. All reverbs were added from the 2480’s effects cards. http://www.vsplanet.com/mp3s/b/brianglockWeekendChaos.mp3
Hey, this is a bit off topic, but Im a member there (haven’t really contributed anything) and a vs840 user myself…you must know that Roland has DC’d their VS studios. Do you think they are gearing up for a new VS studio unit featuring a blu ray burner or are they going strictly for the less expsnsive Boss peices of shite?
Those VS units were the best on the market in my opinion. Tho mine is zip disk oriented, you really can’t beat them as far as an all in one unit thats not PC based.
Thanks, yes I know they stopped making the VS line. Some of the Boss stuff is not too bad though. I don’t think they are gearing up for any new DAW’s, I think the V Studio 700 is going to be it, for awhile at least. In conjunction with Cakewalk it will do a lot of nice things.
I don’t see me changing to it anytime soon though . The 2480 does everything I need it to right now. I’ve had the 2480 since it was first released ( I think I had the first or one of the first in my area), I also have the 880 expanded that I picked up a few months after it came out. Nice recorders. The 840 also does a nice job.
840 EX. THe quality is superb, its very pristine compared to my tascam portaII! I just wish that I could take the zip drive out and swap it with an external harddrive…sort of like those gameboy flash advance cards do.
Like a zip disk with a cord on it that hooked directly to a harddrive so the 840 thinks it has a half a terabyte of recording time.
Theres absolutely no ram on it at all. Copying disks is absolute hell.
By the way, Im sorry that I forgot to mention that that was some sweet stuff on that track. Id love to jam with you!
You are a bit more advanced on the keys than myself, tho. Id rather play as your drummer. heh
Thanks. Would be fun to jam, but I think you’re a bit too far away .
The Drum Project ( go the off topic section on the Planet if you haven’t all three should still be there somewhere. ) was a lot of fun, cool how everyone used the same loop but came up with something totally different.
I’m sure the ZIPS are a bear to copy. Check the archives I seem to recall there was some software to use on your computer that made life simpler with the 840. Yes, the all do sound good, I never used any of the cassette multi tracks, I started off with a Teac 3440 in the early 80’s. Before that is was all to two track reel to reel and sometimes a regular old cassette deck. All fun though
