Setting Up Direct-Output Channels - Roland VM-C7100 Owner's Manual

Linking a channel to its adjacent odd/even partner
1. Move the cursor to STEREO LINK on the screen.
Follow Steps 1 to 4 in the previous section, "Setting surround panning in CHANNEL
EDIT mode" to move the cursor to STEREO LINK.
2. Use the V4 knob to select the desired linking method.
OFF:
PARALLEL:
LINE SYMMETRY: Linked channels are positioned in line symmetry against
POINT SYMMETRY: Linked channels are localized in point symmetry against
You can set the output level of a Flex Bus used for surround output independently
from the surround PAN and DEPTH settings. This allows you to make final fine
adjustments.
Fine adjustment of surround output level balance
1. Call up the SURROUND page in CHANNEL EDIT mode.
Follow the Steps 1 through 3 for "Setting surround panning in CHANNEL EDIT
mode" (p. 74) to display the SURROUND screen.
2. Use CURSOR [DOWN] to select the FRONT, REAR and SUBWOOFER.
3. Make the desired fine adjustment to the level using the V1 through V6 knobs.
The display shows each knobs' associated Flex Bus number and speaker.
* You can temporarily turn off the output of a Flex Bus by pressing the
corresponding F1 through F6 button.
Turning the V1 through V6 knobs can cause the surround positioning to disagree
with the settings in the SURROUND PAN section of the display (PAN, DEPTH and
LR:C) and the displayed surround graph. If this occurs, "ACTIVE" in the screen is
automatically switched off.
When you activate MIDI JOYSTICK CONTROL on the SYSTEM SURROUND screen
(p. 91), and you can perform surround panning using a MIDI joystick. The joystick
will control the channel for which [CH EDIT] was most recently pressed. You can use
the joystick even when a screen other than the SURROUND screen is being
displayed.

Setting up direct-output channels

Input channel signals 1 through 24 can be sent directly to the corresponding multi-
out channels. When this is the case, signals sent to multi-out Channels 17 through 24
are also sent to ASSIGNABLE OUT jacks 1 through 8, respectively. This makes it
possible to directly access analog signals from the input channels.
It's also possible to send an input channel's signal to a number of multi-out channels
at the same time. Note, however, that multiple input signals cannot be directly sent
to a single multi-out channel. Each already-in-use channel is displayed as a broken
line. The direct connection of multi-in channels to multi-out channels is not possible.

Position of the linked pair is set while preserving the

the center point.
Use CURSOR [UP] to select
SURROUND PAN, and
then press [F1] (ACTIVE) to
turn surround on again.
This cancels any
problematic fine
adjustments made to the
Flex Bus so that the actual
surround sound once again
matches the displayed
values.
The system supports the
use of the MCS PANNER
joystick from J. L. Cooper,
which can be connected to
the console's MIDI IN jack.
The signals sent to multi-
out Channels 21 and 22 are
also sent to DIGITAL
OUTPUT A (L, R). The
signals sent to multi-out
Channels 23 and 24 are also
sent to DIGITAL OUPUT B
(L, R).
