6—Understanding the Hard Disk Recorder
Roland VS-2400CD Owner’s Manual www.RolandUS.com 87
What Is a VS-2400CD Track?
The VS-2400CD’s 24 tracks resemble the tracks of a traditional multitrack recorder, so
its basic operation feels familiar and comfortable to anyone who’s used a multitrack
recorder. In fact, VS-2400CD tracks are something a bit different, something that
provides an incredible amount of recording power.
If...
• a recording is stored on your hard drive as a disk file called a “take,” and
• the sets of pointers that tell the VS-2400CD how to play a take are called “phrases,”
and
• a group of phrases strung together for playback is called a “V-Track”
...then what’s a track?
In the VS-2400CD, a track is a collection of 16 V-Tracks, any
one
of which can be selected
at any given time. When a V-Track is selected, you can record on it or play it back.
Each track’s 16 V-Tracks can contain anything you want. They can play the same take (or
takes) in different ways or they can each contain completely different things altogether.
You can select which of its 16 V-Tracks each track will play at any given time. We’ll
describe how to do this on Page 147.
The Power of V-Tracks
Although the VS-2400CD is a 24-track studio, in a very real sense it’s way more than
that. Since each of its 24 tracks can play any of 16 V-Tracks, a project can actually hold as
many as
384
recordings from which you can choose 24 for playback at any given time.
When you record or play a V-Track, the settings of the corresponding track channel
determine what it sounds like. Track 1’s currently selected V-Track is heard through
Track Channel 1, Track 2’s V-Track through Track Channel 2, and so on. Track channels
are discussed in Chapters 10, 11 and 14.
