Choice of Optional 3rd Party Plug-Ins
By installing an optional VS8F-3 Effect Expansion Board (the VS-2000CD has room for two), you can bring plug-ins of 3rd party developers (including Antares, IK Multimedia, Massenburg and Universal Audio) to your V-Studio. Every VS8F-3 includes a selection of high-quality Roland plug-ins to get you started.

Tools for Better Recordings
The VS-2000CD comes with several new tools designed to help you make better recordings. Using the new Harmony Sequence function, vocalists can add instant harmonies to their performance. You can even program drums on Tracks 17-18 using the new Rhythm Track feature. Lots of preset drum sounds included. A handy chromatic tuner is also included so guitarists can tune up before recording.

Graphical Editing Support

USB 2.0
With USB 2.0, you can transfer data between the VS-2000CD and a computer quickly and easily. This new generation of USB offers more than twice the bandwidth of the previous USB standard, making it faster than ever to load audio to and from your V-Studio. Using the bundled conversion software for Mac and PC, you can transfer V-Studio files to your computer desktop, where they can be converted to .WAV or AIFF format. Or simply use the built-in CD-RW drive to load and convert .WAV/AIFF files, or convert V-Studio files to .WAV format for export.

V-LINK for Audio/Visual
With V-LINK technology, you can easily integrate video material with your music. Connect an optional Edirol video editor, and you can trigger clips or create effects like transitions and dissolves using the VS-2000CD’s faders.
