Recording Digital Input Signals; Routing Input Signals To Input Channels - Roland VS-2400CD Owner's Manual

9—Working with Input Signals

Recording Digital Input Signals

Before you can record signals received by the VS-2400CD's coaxial or optical digital IN
jacks, you have to enable digital recording on the VS-2400CD. Here's how:
1. Hold down SHIFT and press F4•UTILITY.
2. Press PAGE until "GLOBAL" appears above F2.
3. Press F2 (GLOBAL).
4. Press
5. Turn the Time/Value dial to select On.
6. After reading the statement, press ENTER/YES, or press EXIT/NO to suspend
7. If you agree to the displayed terms, press ENTER/YES. If not, press EXIT/NO to
Since the CD DIGITAL REC parameter is a global parameter, it doesn't ever need to be
re-set unless you initialize your VS-2400CD's system settings (Page 370).

Routing Input Signals to Input Channels

Much of the internal "wiring" through which a signal travels from one place to another
in the VS-2400CD is virtual—the signal path is determined by your current settings, not
by permanently placed physical wires. This means that you can route signals from your
eight analog input jacks—and your R-BUS or activated coaxial/optical digital input
connector (Page 127)—to the input channels you want. This can save you lots of time
un-plugging and re-plugging cables—this virtual patching system lets you send a
signal where you need it to go without changing a single physical wire.
Patching
Once a signal has been routed to an input channel, you can shape the signal, add
effects to it, and send it to the desired track or tracks for recording. If you wish, you can
send it back out of the VS-2400CD to some external device. See Chapter 10 for general
information on using mixer channels. Chapter 11 describes the various channel
parameters and Chapter 12 provides detailed information about using input channels.
To clear all current input-to-input channel routings, press PAGE until "ClrPB" appears
above F2, and then press F2 (ClrPB). To initialize them to their default routings—with
the eight inputs connected to both Input Channels 1-8, respectively, but also to Input
Channels 9-16—press F1 (IniPB).
