Q: Is it possible to display the
information that is on the LCD in the
external VGA and operate the VS
using a VGA display?
A: Separate information such as playlist and channel settings
can be displayed in the external VGA. VGA display can show
more information at once with 256 colors and four times
more resolution than the LCD. You can control the
VS-2400CD's functions using the external VGA display.
Q: What type of VGA monitor can be
used?
A: There is no limitation of the size of display. On the
VS-2400CD, you can select the refresh frequency including
60/66/70/75Hz, and you can adjust the image position.
Use a CRT or LCD-style monitor with VGA (640x480 dot)
capability, and the above refresh frequencies.
If you have connected an LCD-type VGA monitor, the
displayed image may be blurred on some types of monitor.
This is caused by the "smoothing function" or "zoom
function" of the VGA monitor.
Sometimes this can be solved by adjusting the refresh rate,
but if no improvement occurs, turn off this function on your
LCD-type VGA monitor. However, in this case, the image
may appear rougher, or the displayed area may become
smaller.
Q: Is it possible to use a pen tablet or
track ball instead of the attached
mouse?
A: Mouse port conforms to PS/2 but Roland does not
officially support other devices than the attached mouse.
Q: Is it possible to write the Project in
Wave format for Windows or AIFF
format for Macintosh?
A: You can write the wave format for Windows (linear .WAV
format) to the CD-R/RW disc.
Q: Is it possible to handle the
VS-2400CD Project on the computer?
A: No. It is impossible to use VS-2400CD-formatted hard
disk, Zip disk or CD-R/RW disc on the computer.
Q: Is there DAT backup/recover
function?
A: No.
Q: Is there a data compatibility with
ProTools?
A: No. However, data can be exchanged via WAV format.
Q: How much can I magnify the
waveform display?
A. You can magnify the waveform display of the recorded
audio data to a sample level and set the edit point. But
minimum unit of the time designation is 16 samples.
Q: Is it possible to synchronize with
video equipment?
A: Since MIDI connectors are provided, synchronized
operation is possible if your video device is able to output
MIDI messages.
Q: Is it possible to convert the sample
rate on digital input/output?
A: No.
Q: Do the faders have touch sensors to
recognize the current position?
A: No. To record the automix, you should set AUTOMIX
STATUS to WRITE.
Q: Is there Vari-phrase function?
A: No.
Q: One of the stereo-linked faders
does not move as fast as another one.
A: This is just the movement of the physical fader. The audio
levels of both channels precisely follow the movement of the
fader you are moving.
Q: The volume level of the instrument
connected to ANALOG INPUT is too
low.
A: Could you be using a connection cable that contains a
resistor? Use a connection cable that does not contain a
resistor.
