When a V-Track is selected, you can record on it or play it back. A track\u0092s 16 V-Tracks can contain anything you want. They can play the same take in different ways or they can contain different things altogether. When you record or playback a V-Track, the settings of the corresponding track channel determine what it sounds like. Although the VS-series recorders are 18 or 24 track studios, in a very real sense there&#8217;s way more possibilities than that. For example, since each of the 18 tracks on the VS-2000CD can play any of the 16 V-Tracks, a project can actually hold as many as 288 recordings. <br \/> In the CH EDIT screen, the V.TRK selector allows you to select one of the track\u0092s 16 V-Tracks for recording and\/or playback. You can use this parameter to select the desired V-Track in either of two ways. In both cases, you start by selecting the V.TRK parameter. <br \/>Then you can:<br \/> &#8211; turn the TIME\/VALUE dial to select the desired V-Track.<br \/> &#8211; press the flashing ENTER\/YES button to view the V.TRK Pop-Up window that graphically displays all 16 of the track\u0092s V-Tracks. Each V-Track appears as a line. If the line is thin, there\u0092s no recorded data on that track-if it\u0092s thick, or bold, there is. <\/p>\n<p> You can also select a track channel\u0092s V-Track with a connected mouse using the HOME screen\u0092s V-Track map. The V-Track map shows you the project\u0092s V-Tracks arranged in a grid of horizontal rows corresponding to the project\u0092s tracks. Each of the 16 V-Tracks in a row are represented by a symbol that tells you if the V-Track contains data and if it\u0092s currently selected or not. You can select a track for recording, and\/or playback by clicking it with your mouse- a dialog appears to confirm that you\u0092ve selected a new V-Track. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33684],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the Roland VS-2480 Understanding Your VS: V-Tracks page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/roland-vs-2480-understanding-vs-v-tracks\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Roland VS-2480 Understanding Your VS: V-Tracks - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"V-TRACKS In the VS-series recorders, a track is a collection of 16 V-Tracks, any one of which can be selected at any given time.
