clockwise

•

a fader’s all the way up, or the TIME/VALUE dial’s turned all the way clockwise

—the

highest possible values are transmitted.

Since the buttons, knobs and faders operate differently, here’s how to take fullest
advantage of each:

•

When you want to simply switch something on or off in the external device you’re
controlling from the VS-2480CD, do it with a button or a PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knob.

•

When you want to adjust something continuously over its range of possible
values—volume, pan or filter settings, for example—control it using a fader.

transmitted when you press, turn or move each button, knob or fader,
respectively.

•

The Val column shows the value of the selected MIDI controller to be

including the TIME/VALUE dial, whose settings appear on the same screen as the
faders’.

VALUE dial to scroll
up or down the list
of buttons, knobs or
