27—UTILITY Menu Parameters

SURROUND

The SURROUND screen, and the use of Surround sound in the
VS-2400CD, is described in Chapter 24. See "Turning on Surround
Mode" on Page 311.

Oscillator/ANALYZER

Pressing the OscAna button reveals the GENERATOR/OSCILLATOR
screen and the VS-2400CD's test-signal generator. You can press F1
(Anylzr) to display the VS-2400CD's spectrum analyzer, described on
Page 368. To exit either of the screens, press F6 (EXIT).

Generator

When you press the UTILITY menu's OscAna button, the GENERATOR/
OSCILLATOR screen appears. This screen controls the VS-2400CD's generator that
produces various test signals and can produce the metronome's output.
When using the generator, start by choosing the desired test signal. Select the SOURCE
parameter and turn the Time/Value dial to select:
•
•
•
•
When the generator is producing the metronome's sound, the metronome is no longer
routed directly to the MONITOR bus.

Pink Noise—a static-like noise comprised of the frequencies at each octave of the
frequency spectrum sounding together at equal volume. Useful for testing
speakers in conjunction with the VS-2400CD spectrum analyzer. See Page 369.
WhiteNoise—a static-like noise comprised of all frequencies in the frequency
spectrum sounding together at equal volume. Useful for testing speakers in
conjunction with the VS-2400CD spectrum analyzer. See Page 369.
Sin Wave ("Sine Wave")—the generator acts as an oscillator, producing a pure tone
useful as a reference when you need to set levels using a fixed reference point. It's
also helpful as a reference when sharing audio between multiple recorders to make
sure they reproduce different frequencies similarly—the sine wave can be set to
play at different frequencies. To set the sine wave's frequency, adjust the tuning
knob that appears to the right of SOURCE when Sin Wave is selected.
METRONOME—the VS-2400CD's internal metronome. "Sending the Metronome to
Outputs" on Page 364 describes using the METRONOME setting.
