Roland
VS 2480 CD
Description
Roland is proud to announce its most powerful
V-Studio in history: the VS-2480CD 24-Track Digital Studio Workstation.
The VS-2480CD is a self-contained workstation thta offers 24-track/24-bit
digital recording with 64-channel automated mixing, built-in
effects processing, and onboard CD burning. This revolutionary
workstation also boasts motorized faders, comprehensive mouse-based
control, and connections for an optional ASCII keyboard and
an external VGA monitor, making it as fast and intuitive to
use as a computer-based system — with the advantages of
a rock-solid system designed expressly for audio production.
Rock-solid hardware with the flexibility of software —
that's the new VS-2480CD.
Features
Self-contained 24-track/24-bit/96kHz digital recording workstation
with built-in CD-RW drive
80GB hard drive for unprecedented recording time

including COSMĘ Mic,
Speaker and Guitar Amp Modeling, plus Mastering Tool Kit
24-voice Phrase Pads for triggering and arranging samples
New! CD Capture function for importing audio and .WAV
files
Dual R-BUS ports for expandable I/O in a variety of analog and
digital formats; SMPTE and Word Clock input
VGA Video Output for intuitive, software-style editing with

Following on the success of the VS-2480, the big news with the
VS-2480CD is the addition of an internal CD-RW drive. This built-in
slimline drive makes it easier than ever to back up data and
burn music CDs. In addition to importing .wav files, the new
CD Capture function lets users import audio directly from CD
— even grabbing particular parts of a CD track. Thanks
to some creative engineering, every VS-2480CD will come standard
with an 80GB internal hard drive, providing more recording space
than any other workstation on the market. This means that users
can easily record an entire album — or more! — without
having to worry about running out of disk space.
The VS-2480CD also comes with VS-2480 Version 2.0 software pre-installed.
Version 2.0 can turn an external VGA monitor, sold separately,
into the center of the VS-2480CD universe. It adds full onscreen
mouse control of the VS-2480's 64-channel digital mixer, including
the ability to set up EQ and dynamics processing curves or route
signals by simply dragging the mouse. Version 2.0 also introduces
full drag-and-drop track editing to the VS-2480 — including
waveform-based editing — making it as easy to work with
audio on the VS-2480 as it is on a computer-based DAW.
The VS-2480 offers the same great features as the immensely
popular VS-2480, including 24-track playback, 24-bit/96kHz recording,
384 Virtual Tracks, and more. Users can record up to 16 tracks
at once using a wide range of inputs, including 8 XLR and 16
balanced TRS inputs. Its 2 built-in stereo 24-bit effects processors
provide everything from COSMĘ Mic, Speaker and Guitar Amp Modeling
to a Mastering Tool Kit - and the VS-2480CD is expandable to
8 stereo or 16 mono effects with optional VS8F-2 Effects Expansion
Boards.
A built-in Phrase Sequencer with realtime playback lets users
trigger or "fly-in" vocals in real time, or quickly sequence
drum grooves. Thanks to Roland's high-quality R-BUS connectors,
up to 16 channels of additional analog or digital I/O can be
added. The VS-2480CD plays well with others, too: it has SMPTE
and Word Clock inputs.
