Massive 4.7GB Storage on Recordable DVD Discs
Thanks to a new DVD multi-drive, the Roland VS2480DVD lets users store up to 4.7GB of data on a single DVD disc. This is great for archiving an album’s worth of songs—no more saving across multiple CDs! Of course, CD-R and CD-RW discs can also be used for normal CD burning.

New Plug-In Support with Optional VS8F-3
The Roland VS 2480DVD supports the use of VS Plug-Ins by installing an optional VS8F-3 Plug-In Effect Expansion Board. Up to three boards can be installed, and each is capable of running two high-quality plug-ins from Roland, or optional 3rd party plug-ins from developers like Antares, Universal Audio, Massenburg, McDSP and more. This is the ultimate V-Studio for producers and songwriters alike.
