Using The Pan/Aux Send 1-8 Knobs; Adjusting Stereo Positioning; Activating Knob Control Of Channel Panning - Roland VS-2480 Tip Sheet

If you're using headphones, the setting of the MONITOR knob establishes the basic
monitoring level, so set it to its 0dB position. To adjust your headphones' volume, use
the PHONES 1 or 2 knob that corresponds to the jack into which you've plugged your
headphones. Start with the knob turned all the way counter-clockwise, and slowly turn
it clockwise to reach the desired listening level.
If you've connected a speaker system directly to the VS-2480 and would like separate
control of your speakers and headphones, route the MASTER outputs to the desired
PHONES jack on the EZ ROUTING OUTPUT ASSIGN screen (see Steps 1-3 in "Setting
Up for DS-90A and DS-50A Digital Monitors" on Page 17). The MONITOR knob will
control only the speakers, and each PHONES knob will control the associated jack.
In the factory demos, the MASTER bus is routed to the PHONES jacks, so each
PHONES knob independently controls its associated jack.

Using the PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 Knobs

When the channel strips are controlling input, track and Aux channels, the PAN/AUX
SEND 1-8 knobs at the top of the strips can perform a variety of functions. They can:
•
•
•
•
The AUX SEND•PRM EDIT button sets the function of the PAN/AUX SEND
1-8 knobs. The button's color tells you what the knobs are currently controlling.
The VS-2480's display can jump to the parameter whose value you're changing with a
PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knob. Turn on the PAN KNOB AUTO Disp, AUX KNOB AUTO
Disp and PRM KNOB AUTO Disp parameters in the UTILITY Menu. Otherwise,
remember that you may be changing a setting for a channel other than the one
currently being displayed.

Adjusting Stereo Positioning

When the AUX SEND•PRM EDIT button is unlit, the 16 PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knobs set
the stereo positioning of the 16 currently selected channels, respectively. This lets you
quickly set up the panning for all of your channels without having to individually
navigate to each channel's pan setting.
The PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knobs adjust the selected channels' CH EDIT PAN parameter.
You can also set this parameter from the desired channel's CH EDIT screen.
