1. STATUS (track channel only)
The STATUS parameter mirrors the behavior of the TRACK STATUS buttons
(Page 178). Changing a track’s recording or playback status in either place
changes it in both. You can set the parameter to:
• PLAY —The track channel’s TRACK STATUS button lights green and any data that’s
been recorded on the track plays back when you press the PLAY transport button
(Page 177).
• REC —The TRACK STATUS button flashes red to show that the track is now armed
for recording. To learn how record, see “Recording a New Track” on Page 179.
• MUTE —The TRACK STATUS light turns off and the track is silenced.
2. V.Trk (track channel only)
The V.Trk selector allows you to select one of the track’s 16 V-Tracks for recording
and/or playback. To learn about V-Tracks, see Page 87.
You can use this parameter to select the desired V-Track in either of two ways. In both
cases, you start by selecting the V.Trk parameter. Then, you can:
• turn the TIME/VALUE dial to select the desired V-Track.
• press the flashing ENTER/YES button to view the V. Trk Pop-Up
window that graphically displays all 16 of the track’s V-Tracks. Each
V-Track appears as a line. If the line is thin, there’s no recorded data
on the V-Track—if it’s thick, there is. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to
select the desired V-Track and press ENTER/YES to complete the
process and close the window.
3. PhrPAD (track channel only)
The PhrPAD (“Phrase Pad”) switch activates or de-activates the track’s phrase
pad. If PhrPAD is turned on, the track’s PHRASE PAD button turns amber to
show it can be played and sequenced when the VS-2480’s Phrase Pad feature is
active (see Chapter 21). Turn PhrPAD off to turn off the track’s phrase pad.
4. PlyMod (track channel only)
PlyMod (“Play Mode”) sets the manner in which track’s phrase pad (Chapter
21) plays its phrase. You can set it to:
• Gate —so that the phrase plays for only as long as the PHRASE PAD button is held
down.
• Trg (“Trigger”) —so that each press of the PHRASE PAD button toggles the phrase’s
playback on or off.
• OneS (“One-Shot”) —so that the phrase restarts and plays in its entirety each time
the PHRASE PAD button is struck.
You can hold down SHIFT as you turn the TIME/VALUE dial to move through
parameter values in fine increments on the CH EDIT VIEW screen.
You can also select a track channel’s V-Track with your mouse using the Home screen’s
V-Track map. See Page 123.
