Bro, this takes me back down that road for sure. I wanna say 10-12 years ago, I got the (3-card) with all the plugins for $600. There has always been a market for those looking for them. I’ll ask you a question off-line, I’ve been wondering about all this time. As there is one key feature with the 3’s, that has enabled that market to still be valid even today. I still need to replace my Vs2400cd HD which failed me months back. That killed my renewed passion for it. Which sucked, especially having another creative to share experiences with now. Absolutely spot on with the mindset of using outboard gear with it. Even if you have the plugins, you still run into the full/half efx slot limits. But that’s where bouncing comes into play. Keep em coming, surely enjoying the evolution. 👍🏾✌🏾✊🏾
Good post. You made a lot of good points. I like when you mentioned "If the VS-2480 dies the VS8F cards are useless without another machine." The Roland VS-2480 could really use a technician that specializes in repairing these machines. I'm moving and selling all of the following for $2500 plus shipping: Two working VS-2480's, one non-working VS-2480, one VS8F-3 key card with all the plugins by Roland and outside companies, one VS8F-3 key with Antares Auto Tune and TC Electronic TCR 3000 Reverb, and Roland Plugins, two VS8f-3 (non key cards), four VS8F-2 cards, Roland VS-CDR II RW Disc Drive, Seagate HD, and an Anvil Carrying Case.
Thanks. You right. These machines do need a good repair guy. Keep them alive. Have you thought about selling everything individually? Not sure who would be in the market to buy all of that.
