Roland VS-2000CD
At the heart of the VS2000CD is a 40-channel mixer, comprising 10 input channels, 18 track playback channels, and 12 mono (or six stereo) effects return channels. Apart from the effects returns, all of the above offer four bands of EQ and the choice of either compression or expansion, and each of the analogue inputs has its own preamp and volume pot. Routing options include two auxiliary busses, plus eight direct paths that can be used to carry mono signals to more or less any output or internal buss of your choice. The mixer also provides the usual monitoring, mute, phase-reverse, and channel-link facilities you'd expect, although there is no channel sample delay control. The machine's other raw components are a 40GB hard drive, a CD-RW drive, and a VS8F2 effects board. Expansion is possible by adding a further two VS8F2s, although the VS2000CD will also accept a VS8F3 board in the same slots. This alternative board is designed to support third-party effects.
The VS2000CD has its own Rhythm Track, which is accessed by pressing the dedicated Rhythm Track button. This feature is permanently assigned and routed to track channels 17 and 18, so any audio recorded on those tracks is muted when the Rhythm Track is activated. What you get is a selection of drum and percussion sounds derived from a set of PCM waveforms. These are divided into nine separate kits, usefully named Standard 1, Standard 2, Heavy, House, Jazz, Reggae, Room, Hip-hop and 808.
USB 2 is a great addition to the VS2000CD's arsenal. Hooking the VS up to a computer is easy enough, and a dedicated button provides a way of instantly initiating the USB mode. Once engaged, individual files from each track become viewable on the computer and can be copied from location to location within the computer, just like any other file. Using a PC running Windows XP, I managed to locate and convert a recorded track into a WAV file, and had it open and running in Steinberg's Wavelab in a matter of seconds. The file transfer implications of this feature are obvious, and I, for one, wish my own multitrack machine were similarly equipped.
Met bijhorende handleiding en adapter...Staat naakt zonder vga uitbreiding en zonder extra effecten kaart. Dit kan je allemaal nog vinden via ebay aan behoorlijke prijzen.
Nieuwe prijs was toen ze 'm nog verkochten in den tijd, 2500 euro. Kwam zelf van 3500 euro, helemaal in't begin...
Bieden kan ook... Doe me een goed bod, of ruil em tegen een Octatrack en dan smijt'k er een DJM600 boven op.(als de moderator dit voorstel mr niet erg vind, ik geef em dan er bij... ik verkoop em niet hoor....) De Octatrack is trouwens ook een Mixer, met sampling abbility's!
Of ruilen tegen een Ananlog Rythm en dan smijt'k boven op dit lot, nog één jaar oude Korg Electribe MX, gereviseerd door Korg zelf! Dus zo goed als nieuw, met garantie hier bij ons in Gent bij Soundfactory!!
Mr dan wil'k wel nog 200 euro er bij! Fair is fair!
