Professional Recording Quality and Creative Headroom The VS-2000CD offers CD-quality recording at a choice of 16 or 24 bits. In CD-standard 16-bit mode you can record up to eight simultaneous tracks and play back 18 tracks plus a stereo mastering track. Choose 24-bit mode and you get up to 8-track simultaneous recording and 12-track playback. 320 Virtual Tracks give you all the room you need to exercise your creativity and make "comp" tracks. The VS-2000CD's internal 40GB hard drive provides hours of reliable multi track recording. 40-Channel Digital Mixer with XLR Inputs Give You Pro Flexibility Whether you want to mic up a drum set or record multiple vocalists, you'll appreciate the VS-2000CD's eight XLR/TRS inputs with phantom power. Want to record a guitar? There's a Hi-Z input as well, plus a S/PDIF digital input. The VS-2000CD's 40-channel digital mixer makes mixing inputs, tracks and effect returns a snap - thanks to 17 faders and dedicated Channel Edit knobs. In addition, four knobs allow control of the dynamics and 4-band EQ for any input or track. Studio-Quality Effects and CD-RW Drive Right out of the box, the VS-2000CD comes with onboard effects that include essentials like reverb, delay and chorus, plus dynamics processors, EQ and more. You also get access to Roland's coveted COSM® effects like guitar amp and mic modeling. When you're ready to master, select the Mastering Tool Kit with multi-band compression and burn a CD via the internal CD-RW drive. Now - Your Choice of Optional 3rd Party Plug-Ins Install an optional VS8F-3 Effect Expansion Board (the VS-2000CD has room for two) and you can bring the exciting world of professional plug-ins right to your VS-2000CD. Every VS8F-3 includes a selection of high-quality Roland plug-ins to get you started, and with optional plug-ins available from a growing list of 3rd party developers - including Antares, IK Multimedia, Massenburg and Universal Audio-it's an exciting time to own a V-Studio. Helpful Tools for Better Recordings The VS-2000CD comes with several new tools designed to help you make better recordings - and better music. The new Harmony Sequence function lets vocalists add instant harmonies to their performance. You can even program drums on Tracks 17-18 using the new Rhythm Track feature. With lots of preset drum sounds included, it's like having a built-in drum machine! A handy chromatic tuner is also included so guitarists can tune up before recording. Includes Graphical Editing Support Add the optional VS20-VGA Output Board (with Version 2.0 software) and you'll gain full mouse and monitor support - making the VS-2000CD feel more like using software. Simply connect your VGA monitor and mouse, and you can perform drag-and-drop editing and mix your tracks using a sleek software interface. With a mouse and monitor, the VS-2000CD gives you the best of both worlds: reliable Roland hardware with the speed and flexibility of software. Do More with USB 2.0 With USB 2.0, you can transfer data between the VS-2000CD and a computer quickly and easily. USB 2.0 offers more than twice the bandwidth of the previous USB standard, making it faster than ever to load audio to and from your V-Studio. Using the bundled conversion software for Mac and PC, you can transfer V-Studio files to your computer desktop, where they can be converted to .WAV or AIFF format. Or simply use the built-in CD-RW drive to load and convert .WAV/AIFF files, or convert V-Studio files to .WAV format for export. Use V-LINK for Audio/Visual Integration! Thanks to Roland's V-LINK technology, you can easily integrate video material with your music.
