Roland VS-2400CD Owner’s Manual www.RolandUS.com 29
1—Welcome
Congratulations on the purchase of your Roland VS-2400CD Digital Studio
Workstation. The VS-2400CD will allow you to take your music—or any other kind of
sound—from the first spark of inspiration to completed recording.
Although the VS-2400CD is designed to be simple to operate, the sheer number of tools
it provides do require some introduction and explanation. That’s what the
VS-2400CD
Owner’s Manual
is for. Of course, what you do with these tools is up to you and your
imagination.
If you’ve purchased a VS8F-2 Effect Board, MB-24 Meter Bridge or VE-7000 for your
VS-2400CD, you may want see Chapter 28, beginning on Page 373 before reading the
Owner’s Manual
.
Your VS-2400CD is an extremely reliable device. However, there’s no guarantee against
data loss due to improper use of the VS-2400CD or unforeseen events. Roland
Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
