Lower and Raise Faders to Initiate Sends
If on occasion you think you have configured the VM200 to send a
particular signal to a buss, but you unexpectedly cannot hear the
output, try bringing the fader down and raising it back up to the
desired level to initiate the send.
This may seem unusual if you are used to analog mixers, but it is part
of the channel layer structure of the VM200. Because the faders can
control multiple functions depending on the displayed function page,
you may need to lower and raise the faders to set new levels when you
change Fader Modes.
For example, after you set the level of channels 19 and 20 for an effect
return, if you wish to set the effect send level on channel 3, you may
need to lower the Channel 3 and Master faders once, then raise them
to set the desired level.
Reading the Display
The LCD Display features a resolution of 256 x 64 dots. It can dis-
play numerical parameter values, and uses graphic icons to repre-
sent fader positions and rotary control settings.
This section shows a few sample function pages and explains common
icons and indicators.
The Channel Edit Function Page
Whenever you turn on the power to the VM200 or press the
[CHANNEL/METER] key or the [EXIT] key, the VM200 displays the
CHANNEL EDIT function page.
There are actually two versions of the Channel Edit page. One version
shows the inputs; the other version shows the outputs. (The Channel
Edit/Input version is shown below.)
When you see this function page, the VM200 is in Channel Edit mode.
You can think of the
CHANNEL EDIT function pages as a type of “home”
page.
