4—Setting Up and Basic Operations
78 www.rolandus.com Roland VS-2480 Owner’s Manual
Here’s where the locators in Bank 0 take you:
You can recall locators when the project is playing or stopped—we’ll recall them when
the project isn’t playing so you can see how they help you move through a project:
1. Press STOP to stop playback.
2. Press ZERO to return to the beginning—Time Zero—of the project.
3. If LOCATOR•BANK isn’t lit, press it so that it lights. Since Locator Bank 0 is
already selected, we only need to press the desired locator’s second digit.
4. Press 0—the VS-2480 takes you to Locator 00, the top of the first verse.
5. Press 5—you’re now at the start of the breakdown in the middle of the project.
Locators are discussed in detail in “Locators” on Page 185.
Adjusting Track Levels
The VS-2480’s 16 physical channel strips (Page 33) can control any of the VS-2480’s
input, track, Aux master or FX return channels. See Chapter 10.
1. If TR 1-16 isn’t already lit, press it. Once it’s lit, the channel strips control
the sound of Tracks 1-16.
2. Press ZERO to return to the beginning, and then press PLAY to begin
playback.
3. Slide the channel strip faders up and down to hear how they change the
levels of the first 16 tracks in “What You Don’t Know.”
4. Press TR 17-24/FX RTN to assign the channel strips to the control of Tracks
17-24 and the eight FX returns.
5. Explore the level changes you can make to Tracks 17-24 and the effects.
Watching Automix in Action
Automix allows the VS-2480 to memorize and play back mix-related settings, including
any changes you make to those settings as the project plays.
“What You Don’t Know” contains Automix data that adjusts various track channel
levels throughout the course of the song. Since the VS-2480 has motorized faders, you
can literally watch some of these changes taking place.
1. Press AUTOMIX so that it lights—Automix is now turned on.
2. Press TR 1-16 so the 16 channel strips are controlling Tracks 1-16.
