Making Mixer Settings Automatically
(EZ Routing)
Settings related to mixer connections, including set-
tings for routing of inputs to tracks for recording, for
determining where signals are output, and for deter-
mining which output is to be monitored can be stored
and recalled easily with the VS-1680. This is referred
to as EZ Routing.
For example, when setting tracks to be played back or
recorded during track bouncing, or when dealing with
effects settings during mixdown there are settings
which remain the same, regardless of the song. In such
situations, by preparing stored mixer settings to be
recalled later, you can easily get the most effective and
appropriate mixer settings for each parameter.
At the time of purchase, your VS-1680 came with three
read-only EZ Routing settings (Preset Routings)
already configured. In addition to these, the VS-1680
offers 29 rewritable EZ Routing settings (User
Routings), allowing you to make changes to the set-
tings provided and then save these to the User
Routings.
There are two types of EZ Routing: Template wherein
you can check and change the various settings from a
single list; and Step Edit, in which you can change the
settings in order using a question-and-answer dialog
type format. Furthermore, Step Edit features three dif-
ferent way to change the settings.
