SELECTING A SESSION

Each time you record in the Virtual Practice Room it is saved as a session. There are

9 possible sessions that you can record to. To change the session, so that you do not

record over a previously recorded session, use the SELECT button. Pressing the button

will increment the session number as shown on the session display. It wraps around

from 9 back to 1. As you change to a new session the time display will show the length

of the session for two seconds and then it will show 00:00.

If you wish to erase a previously recorded session, press the SELECT button until the

correct session number is displayed and then press the REW and FWD (CLEAR) buttons

simultaneously until the time display shows --:--. Pressing and holding the STOP but-

ton for two seconds will also clear the memory in the current session.

RECORDING

A very useful feature of the VAE is its digital recording capability. To record your ses-

sion just choose a session number with the SELECT button and then press RECORD.

Pressing the SELECT button will change the selected session number to the next higher

number. The SELECT button will change the session display up to 9 and then wrap

back to session 1. There is enough memory to record one hour of total session time.

The total record time can be divided up in any way amongst sessions 1 thru 9. The

display will show “FULL” if you try to record when there is no more memory. In this

case, select a session you don't want to keep and simply erase it.

While recording, the red LED on the “RECORD” button is illuminated and the TIME

display will show the elapsed time from the start of recording. To stop recording, press

the STOP button. The recorded session will remain in internal memory, even after

power off, until cleared.

Recording can also be done from the record output to any external record device. See

the section on “RECORD OUTPUT” below.

PLAYBACK

After a session is recorded you can play it back at anytime. If you have just recorded a

session, simply press PLAY and it will start playing from the beginning. You can select

any of the 9 sessions to play by first pressing the SELECT button until the correct ses-

sion number is shown on the display and then pressing PLAY.

During playback the green LED on the button will illuminate and the elapsed time

from the beginning of the session is continually updated. It will only playback what

was previously recorded. Pressing PLAY while it is already playing causes no disruption

of the PLAY mode. You can fast forward or fast rewind through a session by pressing

the FWD or REW buttons. If the FWD or REW buttons are individually pressed and

held, multiple 10-second intervals will pass without the need to repeatedly press the

button. These buttons will skip through the session in 10-second steps. Note that when

playback is started the active acoustics are automatically muted, but can be manually
