Connect the supplied power cord here.
M. Grounding Terminal
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you
may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the
surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device,
microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other
objects. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which
is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about
this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external
ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur,
depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are
unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland
Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed
on the "Information" page.
Unsuitable places for connection:
• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
• Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be
dangerous in the event of lightning)
N. USB Connector
Use a USB cable to connect the VC-2 (VariOS) to your
computer.
O. MIDI Connectors
Connect external MIDI devices here. Use MIDI cables (sold
separately) to make connections.
IN

P. DIGITAL OUT Connectors
These jacks output digital audio signals (stereo). Two types
are provided; optical and coaxial. Output settings are made in
the screen where you specify the effect signal flow. You can
use both types of OUT connector simultaneously; they will
output the same sound.
Q. INPUT Jacks

AUDIO
Connect a line-level source or mic here if you want to
IN Jacks
input audio into the VC-2 (VariOS).
* For the VC-2, connect your mic to the R jack.
* When playing a patch whose patch algorithm (p. 7) is
Processor Type 1 or Processor Type 2, connect your
external audio device to L in order to input the sound.
If you connect a mic and a line-level device at the same
time, use the controls of your external device to adjust
the input level.
LEVEL
Adjusts the level at which audio is input from the AU-
Knob
DIO IN jack before passing through the pre-effect (p.
58).
GAIN
Switches the AUDIO IN input jacks between line level
switch
and mic level.
DIRECT OUT
The audio signal that is input via the INPUT R
jack is sent from these jacks before it has been pro-
cessed by the pre-effect (p. 58). At this time, the
same signal is output from L and R.
MAIN OUT
Output the audio signal in stereo. If you want to
use monaural output, connect only the L jack.
