A Few Fundamental Concepts

Selection

Before you can change something in the VS-2400CD, you must first select it. In the case
of physical controls, it's obvious: before you can move a fader, you've got to grab it with
your fingers. This rule also applies to items shown on the VS-2400CD's display. When
you select something on the display, you're telling the VS-2400CD you want to do
something to the thing you've selected. The two most common ways to make a selection
are to use the cursor buttons or to click the desired item with your mouse. Once you've
made a selection, you can make the desired change using the appropriate tool.
When you select one displayed item and then another, you're
moving the "selection cursor."
The VS-2400CD shows you what's currently selected. Often, the
selected item becomes "highlighted" —its colors are inverted. Text,
for example, becomes white with a dark background.
When you select a box in which you can enter data or choose a
different value, the box's outline becomes darkened.
