Making a Multi-Track Recording
This chapter explains the basic procedure for recording on the VS-890.
Please follow through these steps to understand the procedure.

Regarding Hard Disk Partition Size
When purchased, the hard disk (HDP88 series) is divided (partitioned) into
1,000 MB units. If you are using a hard disk that is 2100 MB or larger, the
VS-1680 demo song "SEEMS SO RIGHT" will also be saved but this cannot
be playback by the VS-890. The total size of these demo songs is
approximately 490 MB, so the space that can actually be used is
approximately 510 MB.
If you wish to record for a longer time, you can switch the partition (e.g.,
IDE:0 -+ IDE:1). If you are using a 2100 MB or larger hard disk, switch
partitions before you continue with the operations of this chapter
{multitrack recording) so that you will have a longer recording time
available (p. 23).
If you wish to completely delete "SEEMS SO RIGHT" from the hard disk to
increase the available space, you caii initialize the hard disk (p. 69). At this
time, all songs that are saved on the hard disk (including the VS-880 demo
song) will be erased, and cannot be recovered. As necessary, back up the
songs to a CD-RW disc (p. 126).

Recording operations
cannot be performed when
the demo song is selected.
This is because the demo
song is protected so that its
contents cannot be
modified (Song Protect,
Owner's Manual p. 76). In
order to record, use the
following procedure to
prepare a new song. This is
analogous to putting a new
tape into a tape^t}q3e multi­
track recorder.
