VS-1680/V-Studio Related Wishlist
(click question mark icon to the right to submit a wish)
Phrase Combine- combine all phrases of a track between adjustable start- and endpoint to one new phrase
Loop and autopunch - some marks on the display indicating loop/autopunch start and end points
Another option added so that the fan only turns off when recording?
Autopunch in a loop: walk through the virtual tracks, that means, the device should automaticly switch from one virtual track to the next ech time you punch in in a loop. it should be possilble do define which vtracks should be used for automatic vtrack switching during autopunch in a loop. (Highly Requested)
The possibility to undo a specified number of named levels, it would be helpfull to have something like a named indicator to mark a "situation" which you would like to restore again (without having to count the recording levels) Example: I know that I will start some experiments with mixing, bouncing and so on. I would enter an undo indicator named "test-1" after some work I would like to undo all work back to the situation, when i defined the undo indicator "test 1" I would press "undo" and would select "test-1" from a select list. (some computer application software offers this)
We want a nice PItch correcter...hehheh...most of us can't sing... ;)
A De-essing algorithm inside the Vocal Transformer effect might be nice. Artifacts usually appear when inserting this effect on a vocal that is very sibilant. A sensitivity trim for the when the effect is applied might clear up some of the artifacts. Ex: higher sensitivity means the effect kicks out when certain sibilant frequencies are sent through the effect chain...therefore making any "s" sounds in a vocal soudn more natural when sent through this effect.
Detailed displays for compression effect patches,..like the MTK patches have.
A way to cut or insert time between tap markers. This would be useful when editing audio for CD burning. If a song was deleted from a "disc -at-once" playlist, it would be easier to move the tap markers to the appropriate places by deleting the space previously occupied by the deleted song. Currently each tap marker must be replaced manually at the beginning of each song.
A micro-edit screen for the Automix that shows, for each marker, a little bit more information than just one parameter.
Chromatic Tuner with a selectable input from any Input and/or track.
Reverse playback option. (Highly Requested)
Ability to keep the CD image on the hard drive.
More accurate metering. (Highly Requested)
The ability to backup songs to CD-r/rw's with the option of not having to Finalize the CD...
Note: (Would require a firmware update to CD-R/RW drive)
SCENE LIBRARY - The ability to copy/paste scenes between songs. (Highly Requested)
A "mono" switch in the master section to check how your mix will sound on the clock radio, or just to make sure you have a goodmix level-wise.
Tremolo FX
Real Time Analizer for mastering purposes. You could see what frequencies are quieter, or loudest, and can find specific frequency problems.
Support for larger hard drive partitions
An option that lets you use the footswitch as the shift Key!
SONG DIVIDE-- Suppose you have a long stretch of audio consisting of several songs (possibly recorded live when there was no time to create a 'new song' for each tune). At present there is no way to divide this song into multiple new songs. The only thing that can be done is 'song split' which would make a copy of the entire length of the recording (then you use track cut from there). This is not a useable solution when your audio takes up more than 50% of your hard drive, because there would not be enough room to make a complete copy of the audio. SONG DIVIDE would let you select only a specific time range with which to make the copy. This would be a much more elegant solution.
AN option on boot up to load a default (and unaffected) song, that cannot be deleted or changed. If the initial bootup song is damaged the machine has the option to load the good song.
Meter bridge to see all active and inactive outputs. (Highly Requested!)
CD-RW/BACKUP
- The ability to use the Track-at-Once mode on CD-RW disks
- The ability to extract audio data from the CD-RW to 2 VS-tracks
- The ability to state the drive where the CD-image is prepared
- The ability to make backups from all partitions available
- A simple addition of the total size of songs selected for backup would be VERY nice
- When writing Audio Track-At-Once, show free space and song info in HH:MM:SS:FF format
- I wonder: when a backup is being made is the UNDO data also stored? Else an option to - automatically Optimize song data would be nice
- Perform optimize on all songs you select (for backup or resolving lack of space problems)
- Add packet writing possibilities for backup on a CR-RW drive
- Add Track-at-Once like possibilities to store song backup instead of Disk-at-Once

MASTERING
- A utility that adapts mixer settings in the final mastering process to obtain maximum output level (perform a data scan first)
- More background information about the Mastering effects would be nice

- An option to master to a special Mastering Song, allowing to prepare a disc-at-once image quickly

PLAY/EDIT:

- A sign at the left side of the track when it contains any data
- The ability to freely change V-tracks while playing
- The ability to freely change Scenes while playing: more scenes would be nice too

- The option to backup/restore scenes only
- The ability to show songs from all partitions in one list
- FINALLY: working without partitions: using the full capacity of a hard-disk to store all songs!!!!!
*This category contains wishes that related to the VS-1680 and V-Studio's in general. If a feature or request (wish) could apply to all V-Studio's it will be listed here.

VS-880(EX) Wishlist
(click question mark icon to the right to submit a wish)
2 Mastering Tracks like the VS-1680 has with OS 2.0.
The display doesn't provide enough overview of the recording-mixing environment. I want too see which effect is on/off, and on which tracks, and the levels for both original and effected signals.

VS-840(EX) Wishlist
(click question mark icon to the right to submit a wish)
If you have a feature you would like to see or wish your 880EX could do something it can't post it here to get your wish heard and maybe, just maybe Roland will add it.
A "software-only" upgrade for original VS840 users who don't want the 250MB Zip Drive. We'd like to see automation and stereo-track ungrouping so we could take advantage of all eight tracks. We'd also like those speaker modeling effects. (Highly Requested!)
