Head Count Of VS-700 Owners

I own one set. Still use it a lot.

Got VS700c only (to replace two BCF 2000's). Biggest single expense I ever had to this day.

Me too.  Got the whole system. You can see it set up in the cover photo of my Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/ScottRGarrigus

so you're the 9 mili !!

  Count me in

Yeah yeah, me too.

Got a few options laying about still and even considering going back to 8.5 to KEEP using the 700 gear.

Not sure what lays ahead but (right now) still hoping it will involve Sonar and the 700 gear.

Cheers all!

I guess I'm # 16. I have the set.

Here is 2! I have the VS700 C and 2 VS 700R. By the way may be someone has a Solution : I start the VS I/O Editor via batch, BUT only the parameters for UNIT1 are loaded, I have open a 2nd file manually to get the settings right for UNIT2. Another disaster is Fantom VS, obviously the registry contains just one set of variables, by which the MIDI settings are always identical for both units. Re-opening a project needs always re-assigning manual and hold only as long as the project is open. And finally : I used to run at ASIO 1 (96kHz, 24-bit) with X1, NOW with X2 even at ASIO 6 I get crickles, CPU being down at a few % for ALL threads ?!? Anyone having a Solution here? I have tried 44.1kHz@24-bit ... same results! Thanks and regards,

I am in ... got the set, just recently actually #19 then ...

Great idea Peter.... I think the silence may be deafening though.

Cheers.

I have the 700-C.  It is a nicely built unit but like everyone else I am extremely disappointed that there doesn't appear much interest from Cakewalk to have it work correctly under the more recent Sonar revisions.  I bought it specifically because I had decided that I was going to stick with Sonar as my primary DAW and thought it made sense to get the 700-C for the tight integration with the software.  I find I am using it less and less as time goes by due to the limited functionality with X1 and X2.  Mostly faders and transport.  

I will stick with Sonar - it is getting better with every release.  But I may get rid of the 700-C if there are no improvements.

It's a tough question. The big issue at the end of the day is the ability to make music, does the 700C impede this process?

Personally I find the surface under X1 does in fact impede the ability to create music without distraction. You just want gear that works as it should particularly when you have paying people around.

Right now the 700C does not function correctly and reliably outside of being fader and transport control. Realistically the Mackie unit would have done as good a job without losing so much time hunting for integration and the lack of it.

Make no mistake, right now, the only way to achieve tight integration with with the 700C and Sonar is under 8.5...crazy as it seems. If this is wrong then I would be thrilled to be proven wrong but we have all heard the deafening roar from our once supportive folk at Cake who I believe are really just being let down by their corporate masters at Roland. Welcome to the future folks.

Not sure which way to go with this.... the MCU is quite possibly again the surface of choice for Sonar? Or revert to 8.5?

Cheers.

I have the set but am only using the controller (using an Octa Capture instead of the VS700R)

Cheers,

I wondering about the same as I own both (Octa-Capture + VS-700R) and use both ...
