When the beta version was introduced at NAMM in February of 2000, C-Console VS-1680 dropped the jaws of the Roland crew, reinforcing our belief that this could well be the most useful VS-1680 accessory since Roland's optional CD burner. With automatic storage and retrieval of last/best configurations, fully automated MIDI-controllable mixing and fast, comfortable access to virtually every VS-1680 feature (full effects control as of version 1.4), owners will discover whole new levels of creativity and productivity when C-Console takes the helm.

C-Console VS-1680 features the same MIDI-controllable automated mixing, flexible input options, "easy-chair" interfaces and remote user control features as all other C-Console products. It puts you in the driver's seat with a new level of control over the mixer and recorder, and a new feeling of confidence that comes from working with solid, comfortable, professional tools.

Best of all, you can start mixing today knowing that your work is safe and forward-compatible. VS-1680 data recorded by C-Console will be parameter-for-parameter compatible with the newer VS-1880.
