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,

there are four knobs for controlling the dynamics and

4-band EQ for any input or track.

amp and mic modeling. When you’re ready master, select

(the VS-2000CD has room for two), you can bring the

exciting world of plug-ins right to your 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. Using the new Harmony Sequence function, vocalists can 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.

Graphical Editing Support

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, you get 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. This new generation of USB 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.

V-LINK for Audio/Visual

Thanks to Roland’s V-LINK technology, you can easily integrate video material with your music. Just connect an optional Edirol video editor, and you can trigger clips or create effects like transitions and dissolves using the VS-2000CD’s faders.
