Recording to Cakewalk
1. Make the connections as shown below.
2. Follow the procedure as described in “Settings for the VS-880EX” (p. 195)
and “Settings for Cakewalk Pro Audio” (p. 196), set up the system so that the
VS-880EX and Cakewalk are synchronized.

“High-Quality”
* If your computer does not feature adequate performance, even with the above set-
tings, you may not be able to get stable digital audio output, meaning the sound will
suffer when digital connections are used. Additionally, Cakewalk Pro Audio 5.0 and
Cakewalk Professional 5.0 do not feature the above-mentioned settings. We recom-
mend upgrading to Version 6.0.
In the present status/condition, when record is begun with Cakewalk, MMC
is transmitted to the VS-880EX, and upon receiving the MMC, the VS-880EX
also begins playback. During playback, MTC is sent from the VS-880EX to
Cakewalk, thus synchronizing operations.
