If You’re Using DS-90A or DS-50A Monitors
If you’re using Roland DS-90A or DS-50A Digital Reference Monitors, you’ll need to
route the MONITOR bus to the digital output to which you’re connecting the monitors.
(In the factory demo songs, this has already been taken care of. When you create a new
project, however, the MASTER stereo mix, not the stereo MONITOR bus, is routed to
the OPTICAL and COAXIAL OUT connectors.)
Setting Up for Roland’s DS-90A and DS-50A Digital Monitors
1. Press EZ ROUTING•PATCHBAY.
2. Press F3 (OUTPUT). The OUTPUT ASSIGN screen appears. On this screen, you
can change the signal routed to each of the VS-2480 output jacks and connectors.
3. Press until the digital output you want to connect to your monitors is selected in
the top row—in this screenshot, we’ve chosen the COAXIAL OUT:
The thick black line—think of it as a virtual cable—shows that the MASTER mix
(MASTL/R) is routed to the COAXIAL OUT (COAX).
4. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial clockwise so that “cable” connects MONL/R to the
selected digital OUT connector—”MONL/R” stands for “MONITOR Left/Right.”
Adjusting Your Listening Level
If you’re listening to the VS-2480 through monitor speakers, the MONITOR
knob to the left of the display sets your listening level. You’ll generally want
to keep this at the 0dB position (3 o’clock). Of course, you can always turn
the MONITOR knob to raise or lower the listening level as needed—the 0dB
position serves as a good starting point. Adjust your DS-90A/DS-50A
INPUT LEVEL or monitor-speaker amplifier level settings so that the
VS-2480 is producing sound at a desirable level.
Along the left edge
of the screen, you
see all of the
VS-2480’s busses
(Page 57).
All of the VS-2480’s
output jacks and
connectors.
Each bus runs from left
to right across the
display. When you
select an output and
turn the TIME/VALUE
dial, a connection box
moves down the
screen to reach the
desired bus.
If you prefer, you can drag the
output’s connection box down
to MONL/R using your mouse.
