17—Working with FX Channels
Roland VS-2480 Owner’s Manual www.rolandus.com 229
5. DIR 1-8
Using the DIR 1-8 parameters, you can route the effect to an output
after sending in to any of the eight Direct busses (Page 208). You can use
a pre- or post-fader Direct bus, as explained on Page 209. Chapter 22
describes working with the VS-2480 outputs.
To send an effect to a Direct bus from its FX return channel:
1. Select the desired DIR parameter box.
2. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial so that the desired Direct bus becomes highlighted.
Only one channel’s signal can be routed to a Direct bus at a time. When you assign a
channel to a Direct bus, it replaces the channel that had previously been routed to the
bus. For a list of the channels currently routed to the Direct busses, press ENTER/YES.
Press EXIT/NO to close the list.
6. SOLO
Turn SOLO on to quickly isolate the effect by turning off any other channels
whose SOLO switched is not turned on. When you want to solo multiple
signals, use Solo Mode (Page 143)—it’s faster.
7. MUTE
Use the MUTE switch to quickly silence the effect’s output. To mute more than
one channel, you’ll probably find it easier to use Mute mode (Page 143).
8. BAL
The BAL (“Balance”) control sets the stereo placement of the effect when
it’s sent to a stereo destination such as the MASTER mix or a pair of linked
tracks. The BAL parameter shifts the effect’s entire stereo image leftward
or rightward while maintaining the positions of its left and right sides in
relation to each other. The parameter can be set from L63 to R63.
9. Effect Output Meter
10. Effect Output Meter Pre/Pst Switch
The Effect output meter shows the effect’s output level as it’s sent to the
selected destination. The meter can show pre- or post-fader levels. Most of
the time, you’ll want to view post-fader levels to see the effect’s true output
level. If you’re sending the effect pre-fader to one or two Aux busses
(Page 230) or Direct busses (Page 229), you may want to view its pre-fader
level to see what you’re sending.
When an effect is soloed in Solo Mode, its SOLO switch is automatically turned on.
When an effect is muted in Mute Mode, its MUTE switch is automatically turned on.
When Mono Sw is turned on, BAL acts as a simple pan control of the effect’s mono
signal.
