Xlr Connector; White Noise; Word Clock; Vm Link - Roland VM-C7100 Owner's Manual

Undo
A function that allows an operation performed in error to be
cancelled, returning to the state before that operation was
performed. Redo is a function that "cancels the Undo operation."
This system provides an [UNDO/REDO] function that applies only
to the Auto Mix functions.
Value
The setting of a parameter.
Parameter
Velocity (MIDI message: initial touch)
MIDI data that is included in a note-on message to specify the
strength of the note.
View
A screen that lets you check automix data in a visual form. This is
also the basic screen used to edit the automix.
Virtual patchbay
A function that allows the internal connections of input jack input
channel outputs to be freely changed in the display screen. This
means that the process that is accomplished using an external patch
bay on an analog mixer can be performed internally. Settings can
also be stored and recalled.
VM-24C
An option kit (sold separately) that allows the CASCADE
connector of the processor (VM-7100, VM-7200) to be used. This
allows a single console to control two processors.
VM-24E
An I/O expansion board (sold separately) for the processor of this
system. When this is installed, three R-BUS connectors will be
added, allowing multi-channel audio signals to be input and
output digitally.
R-BUS

VM link

The connection between the console and processor of this system.
Consists of a pair of AES/EBU digital audio cables (3-pin XLR
connectors).
Vocal Canceler
An effect that eliminates sound(s) that are panned to the center of a
stereo source, typically the vocal or bass.
Vocoder
An effect that modifies the tonal character of an instrument so it is
similar to a human voice, based on what the performer speaks into
a mic while playing an instrument. The vocoder effect detects the
amplitude of each frequency band of the voice, to detect the
formants. The instrumental sound is also divided into small
frequency bands, and the formants extracted from the vocal signal
are applied to control the level of each frequency band. This
produces the impression that the instrument is speaking or singing
with a human voice. In the effect algorithm of this system, the right
channel is used to input the human voice, and the left channel is
used to input the instrumental sound.
Formant
VS8F-2
An optional board (sold separately) that expands the internal
effects. Each board allows two stereo effects (or for some
algorithms, only one effect) to be used. Up to three boards can be
installed in a single processor (VM-7100, VM-7200).
Algorithm

XLR connector

The collective name for the "XLR" series connectors developed by
Cannon Electric Corporation (USA) and compatible connectors
manufactured by other companies. Also called "Cannon
connectors." On this system, 3-pin XLR connectors are used for the
mic inputs, VM remote jack, assignable outputs (1, 2), and main
outputs.

White noise

Noise that contains equal energy at all frequencies. On this system,
the internal oscillator can be used to generate white noise in the
audio bandwidth. Perceptually, and when observed on a spectrum
analyzer, the level will appear to rise as you move toward the
higher range.
Spectrum analyzer

Word clock

The clock signal that is the basis for the sampling frequency or
digital signal processing that is performed within devices such as a
digital multitrack recorder, digital mixer, or DAT recorder. When
audio signals are digitally exchanged between two or more devices,
one designated device must supply a word clock to all other
devices. (The receiving devices must be set to operate with the
externally supplied word clock.) If this transmission and reception
does not occur correctly, dropouts or noise can occur in the sound.
The processor of this system provides a dedicated WORD CLOCK
connector to allow connections with professional equipment or
complex connections with three or more devices. A clock signal
corresponding to this is also sent and received via the S/PDIF
digital audio connector and the R-BUS connector etc.
R-BUS
S/PDIF

Word length

The number of data bits used in digital processing. This number
indicates the number of steps used to describe the level at any given
moment. For example 16 bits can describe 65,536 levels, and 20 bits
can describe 1,048,579 levels, etc. When this system exchanges
digital audio signals with other devices, the word length for input
and output is fixed for each device. When the dither function is
used, the word length setting must be changed depending on the
device that is connected.
Dither
Write
The action of copying settings into the memory area or onto a
memory card so that they will not be lost when the power is turned
off. On this system, this is referred to as "store." (The term "save"
is used when registering an EZ routing template, and when saving
to a library.)
Store

Library

Zero return

To return the current time to "00h00m00s00."
