RE: More Roland VS info

["Doug Lawrence" <douglas-lawrence@home.com>]

I have been using a Roland VS-1680 for the last year and I love it. I use 
it
in a small project studio and to record live shows. Check out
http://www.vsplanet.com for more detailed info. They are now shipping the
new VS's with Logic Audio VS, which integrates the VS with your computer 
via
MIDI.

FWIW, Korg announced a unit much like the VS-1680 called the D16, but
somewhat more powerful and smaller to be available in the Fall.
http://www.harmonycentral.com/Newp/SNAMM99/Korg/D16.html What's interesting
is that it has a built-in drum machine and tuner.

I guess I'll just wait for the Roland VS-2480. ;-)

Qabalah,

    It's made by Roland US, and they are typically in the $1200.00 to
$1600.00 US price range.  Really happening and simple units, though you'll
need to be a bit gentle with it.

    Check out http://www.rolandus.com for more information...

    I believe it's another 8 track, but another option is the few that are
mini disk recorders, but then you start really dealing with compression
issues.

    Tchus,

        Lee-ohki.
