4—Setting Up and Basic Operations
66 www.rolandus.com Roland VS-2480 Owner’s Manual
Switches
Some settings in the VS-2480 are presented as switches. They’re typically
shown in either of two ways:
•
As a box
—when a switch is on, it’s darkened. When it’s off, it’s not.
•
As checked items
—when a value is checked, it’s on. If it’s not, it’s off.
Parameters and Values
Up until now in this manual, we’ve been using the word “setting” to describe
something you can adjust. The correct term is actually “parameter,” the word we’ll use
from here on (except in a few cases where “setting” is clearer). When you adjust a
parameter, what you change is its “value.” You can set a parameter with the cursor
buttons—see below—and TIME/VALUE dial, or by using your mouse (Page 68).
Tools You’ll Use All the Time
The Cursor/ZOOM Buttons
Most of the time, you can navigate to the desired parameter on the display by pressing
the
,
,
and
cursor/ZOOM buttons. When you press any of these buttons, you’ll
see the selection cursor move in the direction of the arrow button you’ve pressed.
The F Buttons
In all of the VS-2480’s operations, the LCD display provides information and visual
feedback about what you’re doing. Parameters, on/off switches and more appear on the
display. Often, boxes appear at the bottom of the display—each of these boxes shows
the current function of the F button directly beneath it.
If there’s nothing on the display above an F button, it’s currently inactive.
When the boxes at the bottom of the screen are small rectangles, the F buttons
typically:
• display the parameters associated with an operation.
• execute an operation.
By holding down SHIFT and pressing the
,
,
and
buttons, you can zoom in or
out on track displays. See Page 42.
If you’ve connected an ASCII keyboard to the VS-2480, you can often use its arrow keys
instead of the
,
,
or
buttons.
You can always use the F1-F6 buttons on a connected ASCII keyboard instead of the
F buttons beneath the VS-2480’s display if you wish.
On Off
In this illustration, the -6 dB
value is turned on.
