Names; Note, Tip, Glossary And Warning Icons - Roland VS-2000 Owner's Manual

1—Welcome
These procedures will get you up and running, but, of course, they're no substitute for
actually reading the manual and really learning how the VS-2000's features work.
We highly recommend purchasing an optional VS20-VGA and connecting a VGA
monitor to your VS-2000—it makes the VS-2000 even easier and more fun to use. With a
VGA monitor, you can perform most VS-2000 operations onscreen using a mouse.
To make it easy for you to find the manual's many step-by-step procedures, we've
assembled a "Step-By-Step Instruction Finder" that starts on Page 21. There's also a
standard Table of Contents at the front of the book and an Index in back. Additional
information can be found in "Supplemental Information," starting on Page 399.
In this manual, illustrations that show VS-2000 screens reflect their appearance at the
time the manual was written. As the VS-2000's software is enhanced through operating
system upgrades, the appearance of the VS-2000's screens may change.

Names

Throughout the VS-2000 Owner's Manual, the names of buttons, knobs, faders, jacks—
and settings that appear in the display—are shown exactly as they appear on the
VS-2000 itself. As a result, names printed on the VS-2000 are shown in capital letters.
For example, the button labeled "AUTOMIX" will appear in the manual as the
AUTOMIX button, or simply AUTOMIX, as in "Press AUTOMIX." Settings on the
display are shown in the same lower- and upper -case letters they use onscreen.
A few buttons serve several purposes and have multiple names. In such cases, we'll
refer to the button by the name that reflects its current use. If we need to refer to a
button's multiple labels all at once, we'll show the labels with a bullet between them, as
with the CH EDIT•MASTER button.
The F 1-6 buttons beneath the display can do different things at different times. We'll
show an F button's current function in parentheses after its name, as in "F1 (INPUT)."
The four arrow keys are a special case. Sometimes, we'll collectively refer to
,
"cursor," around in the VS-2000's display.

Note, Tip, Glossary and Warning Icons

Throughout the VS-2000 Owner's Manual, you find the symbols shown below in the left-
hand margins. Here's what these symbols mean.
Notes provide additional information about the topic described in the main text.
Tips offer interesting ways to use the feature under discussion. They'll also let you know
why you should care about what's being said.
This symbol will be of special interest to beginners, because the word—or words—to its
right can be found in the glossary that starts on Page 413.
Make sure you pay attention whenever you see the Warning symbol. Warnings provide
important information that will help you avoid damage to your recordings, VS-2000,
other equipment or even yourself.
