Switching The Mixer Mode; Recording The Current Condition Of The Mixer (Scene) - Roland VXpanded VS-880 Owner's Manual

When the mixer corresponds to recorded tracks (TRACK MIX)
In this mode the mixer will function as an 8-in/10-out mixer placed after the recorder section. The
mixer channels will correspond to recorded tracks.

Input:
The track output (1Ð8) of the recorder section will be in one-to-one correspondence with the chan-
nels (1Ð8) of the mixer section.
Equalizer:
The equalizer section will normally function as 2-band parametric equalizers with high (shelving
type) and low (shelving type) bands. These can be turned off if you do not wish to use them.
The V-XPANDED enhancement also allows the equalizers to be used as 3-band parametric equal-
izers. Refer to ÒUsing 3-band equalizer in INPUT MIX/TRACK MIXÓ (p.20).
Output:
The outputs of each channel are combined into a stereo signal by the MIX buss, and output from
the MASTER OUT jacks. The same signal will also be sent from the PHONES jack and the DIGI-
TAL OUT connector.

Switching the mixer mode

The current mixer mode is shown by the indicator located at the right of MIXER MODE [SELECT].
Use the following procedure to switch the mixer mode. The reason that this procedure is required
is to prevent you from accidentally selecting a mixer mode that radically changes the internal
structure of the mixer.
To switch from INPUT TRACK mode to INPUT MIX mode or TRACK MIX mode, hold down
[SHIFT] and press [SELECT]. If you once again hold down [SHIFT] and press [SELECT], you will
return to INPUT TRACK mode. INPUT MIX mode and TRACK MIX mode will alternate each
time the [SELECT] button is pressed.

Recording the current condition of the mixer (Scene)

Up to 8 sets of mixer settings can be stored for each song. A stored set of mixer settings is called a
Òscene,Ó and can be recalled at the touch of a button. For example if during mixdown you wish to
compare different mixing balances, you can store each different mixer setting as a scene.
