Naming A Flex Bus Channel; Routing A Flex Bus To A Surround System Output - Roland VM-C7100 Owner's Manual

Naming a Flex Bus channel

Each Flex Bus channel can be named. This helps you quickly identify the purpose of
each Flex Bus. Long names (up to 12 characters) such as "Ext.Reverb" and short
names (up to 3 characters) such as "Rev" can be set for each channel.
Calling up the Flex Bus channel name screen
1. Press [FLEX BUS] MASTER 1–12 in the SECTION area.
2. Press the desired Flex Bus channel's [CH EDIT].
3. Use [PAGE DOWN] to select the [NAME] page.
4. Use [F1] to [F5] and the V1 to V6 knobs to enter a name.
The remainder of the operation is exactly the same as the procedure for naming an
input channel. For details, refer to "Creating channel names" on p. 73.

Routing a Flex Bus to a surround system output

Signals in Flex Buses 1 to 6 can be used in a multi-speaker surround system, just as
an signals from input channels can.
To use the surround-panning function, enable the surround function on the system
surround screen (p. 91) and select a surround mode.
Setting surround PAN and DEPTH using PARAM VIEW on Fader
1. Press [FLEX BUS] MASTER 1–12 in the SECTION area.

3. Change each channel's right/left position using its fader.
Chapter 6 Mixing Procedure 2 (Output and Monitor)
Surround-panning refers
to the positioning of each
Flex Bus's signal within
two front/rear and right/
left dimensions.
The PARAM VIEW on
Fader feature allows you to
change the surround PAN
and DEPTH parameter for
multiple channels at the
same time using their
faders of the V1 to V6
knobs.
When the SURROUND
PAN SLAVE feature is
turned off on the system
surround screen (p. 91), the
left/right positioning of
signals is not determined
by their individual main
mix pan settings.
