If you would like to pass audio from a VS-2480 to a computer, you have two options:

I. PASSING AUDIO IN REAL-TIME

The VS-2480CD does not have computer integration and cannot be connected directly to a computer. To pass audio to a computer, you will need to connect the eight analog MULTI OUTPUTS of the VS-2480CD into an audio interface that is compatible with your computer's current operating system.

If you don't have an audio interface, the OCTA-CAPTURE is a Roland interface that would allow for eight channels of simultaneous input into a computer. You may view information about the OCTA-CAPTURE by clicking on the link below:

Notes:

• The SCSI port on the back panel is designed to connect to external drives and cannot be used to connect to a computer.

• There are no longer products in production that allow for R-BUS connectivity to a computer.

II. TRACK EXPORT

Most computer-based recording software (e.g. Cakewalk’s Sonar, ProTools, Logic or Cubase) can import WAV audio files. The Track Export function can be used to export the VS-2480's recorded audio tracks to these software programs as WAV files onto CDs. The following article will guide you through this procedure:
