1—Welcome

Congratulations on the purchase of your Roland VS-2480 Digital Studio Workstation.
The VS-2480 will allow you to take your music—or any other kind of sound—from the
first spark of inspiration to completed recording.

Although the VS-2480 is designed to be simple to operate, the sheer number of tools it
provides do require some introduction and explanation. That’s what the

VS-2480

Owner’s Manual

is for. Of course, what you do with these tools is up to you and your

imagination.

If you’ve purchased a VS8F-2 Effect Board, MB-24 Meter Bridge, VS-CDRII/CD-RACK
or VE-7000 for your VS-2480—or would like to attach a Zip® drive—you may want see
Chapter 29, beginning on Page 379 before reading the

Owner’s Manual

.

Your VS-2480 is an extremely reliable device. However, there’s no guarantee against
data loss due to improper use of the VS-2480 or unforeseen events. Roland Corporation
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

About this Manual

How the

VS-2480 Owner’s Manual

is Organized

The

VS-2480 Owner’s Manual

explains the VS-2480 ‘s architecture, features, operations

and settings. It also provides application suggestions and presents step-by-step
procedures. To get the most from your VS-2480, we recommend reading the entire
manual. The structure of the manual generally reflects the order in which a typical
signal flows through the VS-2480, with extra explanations for beginners at the front.

If you’d like to get to work immediately, you may first want to:

•

set the VS-2480’s internal clock and calendar

—The VS-2480 time-stamps each

recording to make it easy for you to keep track of your work. See Page 65 for
instructions.

•

connect a mouse, ASCII keyboard and VGA monitor

—See Page 64 for more information.

Here’s where you’ll find some instructions that describe how to perform some basic
operations:

•

“Creating a New Project”

—Page 98

•

“Recording a New Track”

—Page 179

•

“Backing Up a Project”

—Page 106

•

“Inserting Effects on an Input or Track Channel”

—Page 217

•

“Setting Up an Internal Loop Effect”

—Page 213

•

“Mixing”

—Page 202

These procedures will get you up and running, but, of course, they’re no substitute for
actually reading the manual and really learning how the VS-2480’s features work.
