Specifying The Bus To Which Reference Signals Are Sent; Checking The Frequency Characteristics Of A Hall Or A Signal; Checking The Frequency Characteristics Of A Signal; Measuring And Correcting The Characteristics Of An Acoustic Space - Roland VM-C7100 Owner's Manual

Specifying the bus to which reference signals are sent

Reference generator/oscillator signals can be sent to one of the Flex Buses (1 to 12),
Cues L or R, or MAIN OUT L or R.
Specifying the output reference signal output
1. Press [ANALYZER/OSC/GEN].
This calls up the ANALYZER screen's VIEW page.
2. Switch to the GEN/OSC page by pressing [PAGE DOWN] several times.
3. Use CURSOR [DOWN] to cursor to OUTPUT ASSIGN in the lower section
of the display.
Set the cursor as shown in the figure below and turn [F1] to [F6] on.
Several buttons can also be selected at the same time.

Checking the Frequency Characteristics of a
Hall or a Signal
This section describes some typical uses of the spectrum analyzer.

Checking the frequency characteristics of a signal

The analyzer function can be used during the creation of a final mix. You can use the
analyzer to help ensure a balanced frequency distribution in the mix by analyzing
each signal used in the mix, and the final mix itself.
Measuring and correcting the characteristics of an
acoustic space
You can use the spectrum analyzer to find out, and compensate for, the frequency
characteristics of a concert hall or other performance or listening space as follows:
Using the built-in noise generator in a concert hall
1. Press [ANALYZER/OSC/GEN].
The ANALYZER screen's VIEW page appears.
2. Proceed to the GEN/OSC page using [PAGE DOWN].
3. Set OUTPUT ASSIGN to MAIN L or R.
4. Return to the VIEW page, and use [F4] to select PINK. Press [F6] (ON) to
activate the generator/oscillator.
Pink noise is sent from the MAIN OUT jacks to a speaker system in the concert hall.
5. Set up a microphone in the center of the hall pointed at the stage, and
connect the microphone to an optional input channel.
Chapter 9 Using the Spectrum Analyzer
Mixdown (p. 240)
Start by setting up the
generator/oscillator as
described earlier.
Make sure that this input
channel is not being sent
into the main mix.
