Used for vocals on "秘伝 / Hidden", as demonstrated in this April 23, 2019 video.

Used to record "Luv(sic)", as recalled by Shing02 in the booklet that accompanies the physical release of Luv(sic) Hexalogy (released December 9, 2015) and in this ニートtokyo interview (released on December 28, 2019) at 3:34.

Luv(sic) Hexalogy booklet (2015) (Japanese | English)

Luv(sic) はエル・セリートの自宅で Roland の VS-1640 [sic] と今も愛用している Octava のマイクを使って 録音した。

I remember recording the vocals to Luv(sic) on a Roland VS-1640 [sic] and an Octava mic (which I still use) at my home studio in El Cerrito.

ニートtokyo, "Shing02 : Encounter with "Nujabes", Luv(sic) production background" (December 28, 2019), English captions by Sean Schiffy Nakamura

[A]nd at the time I lived in a small city called El Cerrito in north Berkeley and I still remember recording on Roland's [gestures the width of the VS] VS hard disc recorder at my studio at the house[...] and had my best friend Top Bill do the scratches for it[,] then sent those files to Japan[.]

Roland never released a VS-1640, but this can be understood as Shing02 combining the names of two VS models available at the time "Luv(sic)" was recorded, the VS-840 and the VS-1640. Both models were released in 1998, antedating the recording of "Luv(sic)" in late 2000 (per the Luv(sic) Hexalogy booklet (Japanese | English) and "Behind The Scenes of Luv(sic) Part 6 Remix Video Shoot - Part 1" at 2:13), but the VS-840EX followed in 1999, while the VS-840GX followed in 2000. Fortunately, Shing02's demonstrated width and the mention of digital files are indicative of the VS-1680.

Visible throughout the music video for "SIGNIFY", released on April 15, 2023.
