Critic Reviews

Roland VS2000CD

soundonsound.com

The Roland VS2000CD is a compact and robust digital multitracker that stands out with its Harmony processor and USB 2 file transfer capabilities, offering a wealth of features for its price. However, its lack of I/O expansion options, absence of a 96kHz sample rate, and the Rhythm Track consuming two playback tracks may frustrate some users. The reliance on internal effects boards for advanced features can also feel limiting. Despite minor operational glitches and a somewhat cramped screen, the VS2000CD is a solid choice for those seeking an all-in-one recording solution with ample creative tools.
