Para la gira de Bocanada (1999/2001) utilizó el VS-880 junto a la MC-505. En esta foto (tomada por German Saenz) podemos ver los dos equipos en cuestión.

Used for Champion Sound and Madvillainy, according to the following sources:

Remix September 1, 2003 (linked)

Recorded under the name Jaylib, Official (Stones Throw, 2003) is a chopped-up, fractal, freestyle swingfest with both artists building loops for the other to rhyme over. It's the perfect vehicle for what Madlib jokingly refers to as his “caveman method,” in which the main ingredients are a Roland/Boss SP-303 Dr. Sample and a Roland VS-880 digital 8-track.

Madvillain I think was straight into a VS880... no preamp or compressor...unless it was maybe a mackie preamp.

I'm guessing Dangerdoom was a bit more mid/hi-fi, again not sure.

Definitely not "rocket surgery"

Madlib... SM57, SM7, or AT4033 if I remember correctly.... pre's would be mackie or VS880 straight in for the most part.

Doom... AT4033, don't know what kind of pre.

This is just what I remember....not positive though.

Used to record vocals for Madvillainy, as stated by yeloocproducer in this November 22, 2006 Gearslutz forum post.

Used on much of "Michigan", "Illinois", "The Avalanche" and partially on "Carrie and Lowell". Also admits tracking at 32khz to save space on the device.

"I did a little research and his early works were made using nothing more than a Roland SC-88Pro sound module and a VS-880 hardware workstation.

Eric Persing has had a unique and influential relationship with Roland Corp for two decades. He started as a product demonstrator in 1984, showing some of Roland's first MIDI instruments. He quickly became involved in the R&D side with Roland Japan, earning the title "Chief Sound Designer", and began contributing his design ideas, real-world studio experience and sound design expertise. Persing's skills have left their mark on countless classic Roland instruments.

He is the originator of many legendary Roland sounds that have become part of the vocabulary and lexicon of musical sound. These include the Factory D-50 sounds such as Fantasia, Soundtrack and Digital Native Dance, a majority of the JV/XP/XV series Classics, all the Factory JD-800 sounds, the original Juno "Hoover" sound and thousands of others.

Here is a partial list of the Roland instruments that Eric has contributed his sound design, sampling and design consulting skills:

"After a few years of using a hard disk recorder like Alesis adat and Roland VS-880..."

In a Red Bull Music Academy lecture, Darshan Jesrani of Metro Area mentioned that he and Morgan Geist "played around using a Roland VS-880."
