IN SEARCH OF A COLLABORATOR.
This is regarding my Roland VS2000CD. I have a second unit I use for parts. Having said that:
I am putting together a WORKING METHODS user manual for people (meaning me, as well) that love these units but are doing the learn by Trial and Error method as well as using manuals, etc. It references from the perspective of the last system (2.005 and with a connected VGA monitor) Roland made for them. The optics are a bit hokey, being dated, but are MILES ahead of using a burnt out LCD screen. As you know, there IS no support from Roland on these units. SOME articles are buried deep on their site, though. I have an older cousin (83) who has a third unit that I've "swapped" some parts in for him, so I'm doing it in part for him, too. Thought I might upload it to the VS-Planet site when I'm happy with it. Using some screen shots of the VGA monitor taken with my iPhone in the presentation. A picture worth a thousand words, as they say. My point: In the introduction of this document titled "VS2000CD-TOILET READING" ... if any of you are of the mind, I would LOVE some proof reading it (as I continue building it or when I'm finished) and offer any changes or corrections. There are STILL things about the unit I am discovering and/or just plain not understanding. My past experience has been with the VS1680 (did my own album on it) and a VS1880 as well. Got busy on the road performing for the next 20 years, and in the meantime ROLAND bailed on these DAW's and the world went to PRO TOOLS on computers. Then I got a VS2000CD because my cousin did and wanted to revisit a working relationship with him from about 20 years ago. All in all it's a bit of a fools venture as it's old technology, but I am what I am and love this unit.
That's enough for now. I only lovingly call this work a "manual". It is more of just a straight forward approach in getting a signal recorded as well as addressing some inherent problems I've noticed with multiple units of these old machines. Thus: TOILET READING.
Might get into AUTOMIX, and other topics as I go. Looking forward to any of your responses.
Thank you.
