VS-Console for Macintosh
VS-Console, VS-Console-EX, and VS-Console-16 are programs for
remotely-controlling the Roland VS-880, VS-880-EX, and VS-1680 hard
disk recorders from any Macintosh computer with a colour monitor, a MIDI
interface and OMS installed. They provide access to all mixer
and effects parameters, along with the system parameters associated
with MIDI synchronisation. The track levels can also be displayed in
real-time. Effect patches can be saved and loaded from files, using a file
format which is interchangeable with the program
VS-Copy for the PC. In addition,
the latest versions have added options of active controls (new values are
sent continuously while a control is being adjusted) and speech feedback and
keyboard-only control.
Sorry, no PC version either now or in the forseeable future

Instructions for using VS-Console

Users of VS-Console-EX and VS-Console-16 should also read these instructions
since the general functionality is identical and differences should generally be
obvious.
