Teddy, you just know Rocky is going to run right out and buy one, now that Roland has given IOM its imprimatur. ;-)

Re: Roland Vs-840 As I posted in the main IOM thread, the Roland series of VS digital recorders are/have been very succesful. Roland usually makes very good gear. Several machines are now classics, like the 808 and 909 drum machines, which can be heard on virtually every R&B, Rap, and Dance track since the mid-80's. The Vs-880 sold over 30,000 units. These sales figures are very good for musical gear. It is still in production. This new machine is a step down from the Vs-880. There is no internal hard drive in the Vs-840. The Zip's 100MB really limits your recording time. You can only record one 4:38 minute song using all 8 tracks. This is obviously not much time. Their is an optional SCSI port you can add on, and it is a must. You can then use a real external hard drive to record onto, then save your mix to Zip. Other than the limitation of using a Zip as the recording medium, it should be a good piece of gear.
