1—Welcome to Version Two

To Get the Most From Version Two
Connect an optional color VGA display to the VS-2000 to take full advantage of Version
Two’s capabilities. With Version Two, the VS-2000 offers the power and convenience of a
computer-based DAW (“digital audio workstation”) and dedicated control surface with
none of the setup, configuration or maintenance difficulties.
VGA Terminology: The Mixers and the Master Block
The VS-2000 contains a powerful 40-channel mixer that has dedicated input, track, and
FX return channels—all of these channels are always active and available. See Page 52
of the VS-200
0 Owner’s Manual
for a description of what these channels do.
To help navigate its menus and screens, the VGA display treats the various channel
types as if they belong to separate mixers. These are the:
•
Input Mixer
—which contains all 10 of the VS-2000’s input channels.
•
Track Mixer
—which contains all 18 of the VS-2000’s track channels.
•
FX Return Mixer
—which contains all six of the stereo FX return channels.
In addition, the two Aux and six FX send master channels are grouped together with
the MASTER EDIT Aux and FX bus and Direct path configuration settings as the
“Master Block.”
While we use these terms to make getting around onscreen easier, it’s important to
remember that they’re not
really
separate mixers. They’re all just sections of the
VS-2000’s single massive 40-channel mixer. Therefore, viewing one of these “mixers”
doesn’t de-activate any of the others—it just makes the selected mixer visible.
To learn about connecting, setting up and configuring a VGA display and/or ASCII
keyboard, see Pages 64 and 66 of the
VS-2000 Owner’s Manual
.
If you’d prefer to use your VS-2000 without a VGA display, make sure that the UTILITY
menu’s OPERATION TARGET parameter is set to LCD. See “Setting the Operation
Target” on Page 23.
