In 1999, I bought the small brother of the VS-880. It´s the VS-840. I love this machine a lot. I agree with you hsjmusic, the Roland workstations are excellent.
I like to show you our video "Depressed". This track is recorded in 2001on the
VS-840. I think, really good sounding. All guitar and basstracks are recorded without amps. I just used those boardeffects of the VS-840. Hope you´ll like
@jgk381 Sorry you do have to have some kind of a DI box. I always used a DR5 for my DI box. You can also use a stomp box of any kind. Anything to give it a boost in signal. Now an acoustic guitar that has a electric pickup will work just find straight in because it has a battery and the signal will be automatic boost. Hope this answered your question.
I've got the 1680. Damn thing is so old but I love it to death. Funny how using it now is like second nature, I know all the buttons and everything. Great machine.
@alexhollandmusic I agree it's a great machine. I have the 880 EX with the CDRII. The thing is - no matter how old it is you can't really say it's gone out of date. It records superb CD quality audio, mixes great, has fantastic processing, and saves usable files with all their meta data intact. It's still capable of producing music by today's standards just as pristinely as when it was new. Knowing how to operate it like we do means it's stood the test of time! Happy recording!
could you make a video on how to sync it up to a DAW?

This is the best 8 track digital ever. And this is coming from a yamaha fanatic. I think this is the best kit Roland ever did.

Great demo videos. Can you plug a guitar and bass in directly with a 1/4" cable without needing an external amp or DI box?
Thanks
