Hi, I have been using Digital Performer with my Mac, Mackie Mixer, an 896 and a MOTU Express XT. I'm real happy with the setup. Someone just gave me a brand new Roland VS 2480 CD and I wondered if this can be incorporated in my setup, somehow? Does the Roland VS 2480 only record audio or does it record MIDI, as well? If so - can I take what I have recorded on the VS2480 and send it to Digital Performer to use in and with my other tracks and visa versa? Is there tips or tutorials on how to connect the 2480 up to DP to send data. I really appreciate any help. Are there any DP users who have this workstation connected up in the workspace where they can swap au files back and forth?

(Here's what it looks like), but mine has a built in CD option --also, it did not come with the add-on LED lighted horizontal indicator. What is that, where do I get one? I have some DS90 speakers for it, too. Do I have to connect it up with my Mixer, 896 etc, through my Master controller and full setup --or can it be a stand alone recording unit for vocals and electric guitar?
