I explored the VS-880 several years ago but went with computer DAW instead. From what I remember, and the best suggestion I can think of,... can't the VS-880 write the 8 top layer of tracks to individual .wav files directly onto CD? If so, then grab the wav files off the CD via your computer's CD drive.
I still have and sometimes use my Boss VF-1 which is basically the FX expansion card for the VS series hardware but packaged for primarily electric guitar in a 1/2 rack unit with 1/4 ins and outs, midi, expression pedal connection, etc... It's a fantastic Swiss army knife of FX.


Does the noise in your head bother me ?
