11—Input and Track Channel Tools
Roland VS-2400CD Owner’s Manual www.RolandUS.com 151
Once the channels have been grouped, you can move any of their faders to
simultaneously raise or lower the levels of all of the group’s channels. To remove a
channel from a group, set its GROUP parameter to OFF.
14. F.LINK
The F.LINK (for “Fader Link”) on/off switch lets you link the faders of odd/even
channel pairs. If the current channel is:
•
odd-numbered
—its fader is linked with that of the even-numbered channel to its
right.
•
even-numbered
—its fader is linked with that of the odd-numbered channel to its left.
When two channels’ faders are linked, you can move either fader to control the output
level of both channels simultaneously. This can be handy when you want to
simultaneously adjust the levels of two related channels.
15. FX INS
The FX INS display shows the number of any effect that’s been
inserted into the channel’s signal flow(Page 80), or “Off” if there are
no effects inserted in the channel.
Press ENTER/YES to jump to the FX Ins screen to insert an effect on
the channel, or to remove an insert effect. See Page 211.
16. DIR 1-8
Use the DIR 1-8 boxes to assign the channel to any of the eight Direct
paths (Page 202) pre- or post-fader (Page 203).
To assign a channel’s signal to a Direct path from a CH EDIT VIEW screen:
1. Select the desired Direct path box.
2. Turn the Time/Value dial so that its number is highlighted.
Only one channel’s signal can be routed to a Direct path at a time, it replacing the
channel previously routed to the path. For a list of the channels currently routed to the
Direct paths, press ENTER/YES. Press EXIT/NO to close the list.
You can control the level of the fader groups using the channel strip faders—see
Page 135. If you’ve connected a VGA to your VS-2400CD, you can also assign channels
to groups on the fader groups’ multi-channel view page (Page 435).
You can change the level of a channel in a fader group without affecting the group’s
other channels by holding down CLEAR and moving its fader to the desired position.
When you release the CLEAR button, the channel is returned to fader group control.
When you link two channels’ faders, the VS-2400CD sets them both to 0dB, or to their
last linked setting. When you un-link the faders, the faders are reset to 0dB.
When two channels are linked, their FADER parameter changes in appearance and
behaves differently. See Page 150.
The F.LINK parameter differs from the ChLink parameter in that it only links the
channels’ faders. All of their other parameters remain independent of each other.

Effect 3 is
inserted in the

DIR Bus 1 is
