You can assign a footswitch to assume the Record button function:
From page 362-3 of OM:
FOOT SWITCH ASSIGN An optional foot switch—such as a Roland DP-2 or BOSS FS-5U—connected to the VS-2480’s rear panel FOOT SWITCH jack can perform a variety of functions. This parameter determines what a connected foot switch does. You can set the parameter to: • Play/Stop —so you can start and stop project playback with the foot switch. • Record —so you can toggle in and out of Record mode with each press of the foot switch, allowing for hands-free punching. UTILITY menu F2 (GLOBAL) 28—UTILITY Menu Parameters
• TapMarker —so the foot switch acts like the TAP button: A press of the foot switch places a marker at the timeline’s current position. • Next —so the foot switch acts like the NEXT button, moving the timeline to the next phrase or marker, according to the setting of the PREVIOUS/NEXT Sw parameter (see below). • Previous —so the foot switch acts like the PREVIOUS button, moving the timeline to the previous phrase or marker, according to the setting of the PREVIOUS/NEXT Sw parameter (see below). • GPI —so the foot switch responds to received Play/Stop instructions from a connected General Purpose Interface
A cheap normally open switch will work nicely
