21—Using the Phrase Pads
278 www.rolandus.com Roland VS-2480 Owner’s Manual
The phrase sequencer Undo feature is available on the first PHRASE SEQUENCE
screen. To use it, navigate to a PHRASE SEQUENCE screen and:
1. If “UNDO” doesn’t appear above F5, press PAGE until it does.
2. Press F5 (UNDO). Once you’ve undone an action, “REDO” appears above F5 until
you sequence something new or perform another edit.
3. To redo the action you’ve just reversed, press F5 (REDO).
Realtime Phrase Sequencing
Phrase Sequencing in Realtime
1. If PHRASE PAD PLAY•PHRASE SEQ isn’t already lit solid red, hold down SHIFT
and press PHRASE PAD PLAY•PHRASE SEQ so that it is.
2. Set the PHRASE SEQ STATUS button for any sequence track you want to record so
that its indicator lights solid red.
3. Press PHRASE PAD PLAY•PHRASE SEQ so that it flashes red to show that the
phrase sequencer is recording.
4. Press ZERO to rewind to the start of the project, or move the timeline to the
location in the project at which you want to start sequencing.
5. Press PLAY, and play the phrase pads as desired.
6. When you’ve finished, press STOP—your performance appears in the playlist.
7. Press PHRASE PAD PLAY•PHRASE SEQ so that it’s lit solid red, ready to play back
what you’ve sequenced.
8. Press ZERO or move the timeline to the desired location.
9. Press PLAY to hear what you’ve sequenced.
10. If you’re satisfied with what you’ve recorded on a sequence’s track, press its
PHRASE SEQ STATUS button so that it’s green. This is to make sure you don’t
record over the sequence track if you record or re-record other sequence tracks.
11. If you’d like to try again—recording over your first attempt—repeat Steps 3-9.
12. You can perform Steps 2-10 to record additional tracks. Make sure, however, that
the PHRASE SEQ STATUS button is green for any sequence track you want to keep
as you continue sequencing.
The phrase sequencer’s Undo feature is completely separate from the hard disk
recorder’s. Sequencing actions don’t appear in the standard Undo list, and the
UNDO•REDO indicator doesn’t light when a phrase sequencer redo is available.
Press HOME•DISPLAY or navigate to a PHRASE SEQUENCE screen to see your
sequenced data. This isn’t absolutely necessary, but it can be instructive.
If you view one of the PHRASE SEQUENCE screens as you sequence, you can turn on
its grid to check the timing of your sequenced data once it’s recorded.
You can select and edit phrase sequencer data only in the PHRASE SEQUENCER
screen’s playlist.
In this illustration of the Home
screen, we’ve recorded on
Sequencer Tracks 5-8 while
playing along with Tracks 1-4.
