Track Direct Outs; Routing A Pair Of Tracks To A Pair Of Outputs - Roland VS-2400CD Owner's Manual

Track Direct Outs

You can route any odd/even pair of the VS-2400CD's tracks directly to a pair of outputs
on the EZ ROUTING OUTPUT ASSIGN screen. By default, the screen is set up for bus
routing, so you'll need to activate the track direct outs when you want to send tracks to
outputs without using busses. You can select whether the tracks' signals are to be sent
to outputs before or after their track channel faders.
When the track direct outs are turned on, Aux and Direct path output connections
aren't available. If you need to send a combination of tracks and Aux or Direct paths to
outputs, send the tracks via Direct paths instead of the track direct outs—see Page 196.
Track direct outs are a great way to transfer tracks via R-BUS and an RPC-1 PCI card to
a computer for editing or effect processing. It's also easy to send tracks to a TASCAM
DA series recorder or ADAT multitrack recorder connected via R-BUS and DIF-AT to
the VS-2400CD.

outputs. However, you can send it into the MONITOR bus, which can be.
