Roland VS-1680 - Why Do I Hear the Inputs All of the Time; How Do I Control the Stereo Tracks Independently

®ÂØÒÅÎ Supplemental Notes VS-1680 Frequently Asked Questions
Tracks 9-16 on the VS-1680 are configured as Stereo
Tracks but they can be controlled independently. To do
this, the Channel Link function must be turned off.
Tracks 9, 11, 13, and 15 can then be controlled from
the front panel just as tracks 1-8 are. Tracks 10, 12, 14,
and 16 can be controlled by holding the SHIFT button
and adjusting the desired front panel control. For exam-
ple, holding SHIFT and moving the 9/10 fader will adjust
the level for track 10 but not track 9. The following pro-
cedure will guide you through the process of recording a
mono signal to track 16.
1) Press the TRACK 15/16 SELECT button so that
Track Mixer [TR = 15/16] is displayed (Fig. 1).
2) Use the CURSOR buttons to select Link and use
the TIME/VALUE dial to select OFF.
3) Hold the SHIFT and Track 15/16 STATUS buttons
and press the Input SELECT button for the input you
wish to record (it will begin to flash).
4) Hold SHIFT and press the Track 15/16 STATUS
button until it is flashing red.
5) Use the appropriate INPUT SENS knob to set the
recording level as desired.
6) Press REC followed by PLAY to begin recording.
7) Press STOP when you are finished.
8) Press PLAY to hear the results. Hold SHIFT and use
the Channel 15/16 fader to adjust the playback
volume of track 16 as desired.
The PAN ON/OFF switch is used to determine whether
or not a track or input is sent to the mix buss. This para-
meter should be checked when you are either hearing a
track or input that you dont want to hear or when you
are having trouble hearing a track or input that you
should be hearing. The default setting for this switch is
ON, even for the inputs. This is why it is possible to
hear your inputs even if they are not routed anywhere.
