If You're Using DS-Series Monitors

If you're using Roland DS-series Digital Reference Monitors, you'll need to route the
MONITOR bus to the digital output to which you're connecting the monitors. (In the
factory demo songs, this has already been taken care of.) When you create a new
project, however, the MASTER stereo mix, not the stereo MONITOR bus, is routed to
the COAXIAL OUT connector.)

Setting Up for Roland's DS-Series Digital Monitors

Adjusting Your Listening Level

If you're listening to the VS-2000 through monitor speakers, the MONITOR
knob to the left of the display sets your listening level. You'll generally want
to keep this at the 0dB position (3 o'clock). Of course, you can always turn
the MONITOR knob to raise or lower the listening level as needed—the 0dB
position serves as a good starting point. Adjust your DS-series INPUT
LEVEL or monitor-speaker amplifier level settings so that the
VS-2000 is producing sound at a desirable level.
