18—Editing Tracks
Roland VS-2000 Owner’s Manual www.RolandUS.com 241
Editing Methods
The VS-2000 lets you edit a project’s phrase and regions two different ways:
• an optional mouse • TRACK menu
You can use either of these methods exclusively, or any combination of them. You can
perform many of the same phrase or region editing operations regardless of the
method you decide to use, though each method presents your options a bit differently.
When you purchase and install a VS20-VGA board (Page 29), you can connect a PS/2
mouse to your VS-2000—see Page 66. A mouse provides fast access to seven of the most
common phrase editing operations and region operations, and makes “drag-and-drop”
editing possible. The TRACK menu offers additional editing operations as well.
What Each Editing Method Offers
A Mouse
Mouse editing provides a fast, tactile editing experience. When you edit
with a mouse, you can select phrases or regions by clicking and dragging.
You can move them by simply dragging them to the desired locations, or
copy them as you drag—a set of placement cursors help you position
moved or copied phrases and regions where you wish them to go.
When you want to perform other editing related operations, a right-click
of the mouse on the playlist opens the Edit Pop-Up menu—when you select an
operation from the pop-up, an edit message appears (see below) in which you can use
your mouse to set up the details of the edit and then execute it.
The TRACK Menu
The TRACK menu offers parameter-based editing. When you select an
edit operation from the TRACK menu, use the VS-2000’s controls to
select the desired phrases or regions, set the relevant parameters and
then execute the operation. This form of editing allows you to edit
slowly and carefully. The TRACK menu also provides access to some
editing operations that aren’t available using the mouse.
Edit Messages
When you edit using a mouse, the VS-2000 displays edit
messages that help you refine and then confirm your
edit. The displayed parameters are also found in the
TRACK menu operation.
All phrase editing operations—and thus the parameters you see in the edit messages
and in the TRACK menu—are explained in Chapter 19. All of the region editing
operations are described in Chapter 20.
You can edit displayed parameters with a mouse or the cursor buttons and Time/Value
dial. An edit isn’t final until you press ENTER/YES. To cancel an edit, press EXIT/NO.
You can turn edit messages off to speed up the editing process if you wish by resetting
the UTILITY menu’s EDIT MESSAGE parameter (Page 380). If you’re using a mouse,
you can turn the messages on and off in the Edit Pop-Up menu, described on Page 242.
