Using the PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 Knobs

When the channel strips are controlling input, track and FX return channels, the PAN/
AUX SEND 1-8 knobs at the top of the strips can do a variety of things. They can:
•
•
The AUX SEND•PRM EDIT button sets the function of the PAN/AUX SEND
1-8 knobs—the button's color tells you what the knobs are currently
controlling. In addition, the button works with the KNOB/FDR ASSIGN•AUX
SEND 1-8 button, allowing you to configure the knobs so that they can:
•
•
See Page 140 to learn how the KNOB/FDR ASSIGN•AUX SEND 1-8 button and the
PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knobs interact.
You can set the VS-2480 so its display jumps to the parameter whose value you're
changing with a PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knob. Turn on the PAN KNOB AUTO Disp, AUX
KNOB AUTO Disp and PRM KNOB AUTO Disp parameters in the UTILITY menu
(Page 364). If you choose not to do this, don't be confused by the fact that you may be
changing a setting for a channel that's not currently being displayed.

Adjusting Stereo Positioning

When the AUX SEND•PRM EDIT button is unlit, the 16 PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knobs set
the stereo positioning—or "panning"—of the 16 currently selected channels except for
the Aux master channels. This lets you quickly set up the panning for all of your
channels without having to individually navigate to each channel's pan setting.
The PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knobs adjust the selected channels' CH EDIT PAN parameter.
You can also set this parameter from the desired channel's CH EDIT screen.

Activating Knob Control of Channel Panning

1. If the AUX SEND•PRM EDIT button is:
2. Turn a PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knob to adjust the corresponding channel's panning.
Since this feature provides a fast way to get to the pan setting for multiple channels at
once, bear in mind that you may be adjusting the panning of a channel whose
parameters aren't currently in view on the display.

Setting Dynamics and EQ Parameters for One Channel

When the AUX SEND•PRM EDIT button is lit red, each of the 16 PAN/AUX SEND 1-8
knobs adjusts the value of one of the currently selected channel's dynamics or EQ
parameters (Chapter 11). The parameter each knob adjusts is printed beneath the knob.
This offers the convenience of having a dedicated knob for these important parameters.
