• a fader’s all the way down, or the TIME/VALUE dial’s turned all the way counter-
clockwise
—the lowest possible values are transmitted.
• 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.
To Create a USER Template

•
F1 (USR1) —to set the behavior of the buttons, knobs and faders on the

The SETUP screen appears for the selected buttons, knobs or faders:
The SETUP screen is divided into three columns:
•
The left-hand column lists the selected buttons, knobs or faders.
• The CONTROL TYPE column shows the type of MIDI controller to be
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
transmitted from the VS-2480CD.
For the sake of simplicity, when we refer to faders in the following sections, we’re also
including the TIME/VALUE dial, whose settings appear on the same screen as the
faders’.
Turn the TIME/
VALUE dial to scroll
up or down the list
of buttons, knobs or
faders.
