Roland VS-1680 VS8F-2 effects demo (brief - too many effects to go in depth!)

This VS-1680 is upgraded with two separate effects boards. With my limited understanding of exactly what they had to offer, I put together this demo. Many of the effects felt geared towards post-production which is of course essential on a unit like this. I would describe my overall impression as conservative and pracitcal ...not as much fun as I wanted. I'll have to rely on my external effects :)

This machine takes a lot of reading to fully understand, so the first thing to do is download the manual by Googling "VS-1680 pdf" (I can't provide a direct link for you in this message). As for the card, there are several versions and you do need at least one to get any effects from the VS-1680. It will still work without a card, you can always use your own effects pedals etc. Have fun!

@csababorbely3453 8 лет назад

so if you use a multieffect, it needs as many fx proc as many fx linked to eachother right? (so im seeing in this vidoe eg. a guitar multieffect with 5 fx linekd, so its needed 5 fx proc so you needed for this 3 fx cards?- because vsf8-2 has 2 fx proc...)

Hey! How do you get to this menu? I’m just trying to put some compression on some tracks and can only add eq, reverb or delay…. Any advice?

@LegendaryWoke 6 лет назад

Maybe they didn't have stereo recording back during this time? ☺️

Hi thanks for the video. How can you assign multiple effects to different channels from one card? ex: you have vocal guitar and bass. Can you assign three individual effects to the individual 3 tracks? TIA

@gearfacts 6 лет назад

Hello Izzi, oh man this video was made so long ago... I don't have this unit anymore so I really can't answer the question. Sorry about that! I'm glad you liked the video though, thanks for watching my channel :) Gearfacts

@barrymcivor 2 года назад

Are both vs8f-2 cards the same. Put in one only get so many effects, put in two of the same cards and get more effects.

@zenobibonsai 3 года назад

I know this is old but.... Can you apply these effects to different channels post recording from an input? Example: Have a delay on channel 1 and a flange on channel 2 can you also have multi effects per channel? or are all these effects just limited to input signals cheers

Hmmm yep too long ago I'm afraid, I couldn't even begin to remember ...this might take some manual diving! Here's the link: cdn.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/VS-1680_UG.pdf

@breedogg60 10 лет назад

ok so how do I work all this, you mention card? what card ? do I need a card for the effects?

@papa.alfredo 2 года назад

Is the Effect Board compatible for the Roland vs 2480 CD and for the VS 880? Thanks in advance, greetings from Germany!

@gearfacts 2 года назад

And greetings from Australia! My answer: I've never used a VS-880 so I'm not completely sure, but I don't think it can take this effects board. You might have to deep-dive into Roland's website and manual archives to get a certain answer.

@bob_ohms2low75 5 лет назад

are you playing an electric? or is it an acoustic electric? Thanks! I just pulled my roland vs1680 out & saw your video!

@gearfacts 5 лет назад

Bobby Craig Jr. I’d say that was one of my old Ashton electrics :) gf

@tjn0110 Год назад

Fun demo. Just got my 1680 back running (on a compact flash card), do you remember how much these VS8F-2 cards originally sold for?

@gearfacts Год назад

I don't, sorry. They were already installed when I got this unit. Nice work getting the 1680 working on a flash card. I'd love to do that on a Roland SP808 sampler. Apparently it's possible but every attempt I've made has failed :/

@tjn0110 Год назад

@@gearfacts A lot of the CF cards I tried wouldn't read, it would freeze the unit on bootup. The last one I had was an old Lexar and it works flawlessly. I have no idea why. I just ordered a VS8F-2 card, looking forward to trying these effects out, the cost of the 1680 was enough for me at the time, adding the card(s) was out of the question (I was 16! I sure flipped a lot of burgers for that unit!!) :).
