Input Peak Indicators
The input peak indicators help you set the level of signals coming into the VS-2400CD’s
analog input jacks. The 16 numbered indicators correspond to the 8 analog input jacks
and eight digital R-BUS input connections, respectively.
When you’re adjusting a SENS knob (Page 34) to set the input level for a signal coming
into an analog input jack, a dark box appears around its input peak indicator if the
signal exceeds a pre-determined level—the INPUT PEAK LEVEL parameter (Page 356)
sets the input peak indicators to light when a signal reaches -6 dB, -3 dB or 0 dB. A light
gray line appears in the INPUT meters display view (Page 120) to show the input peak
indicators’ current volume threshold setting.
Current Time Location Display
At the top of many of the VS-2400CD’s screens is the current time location display,
which consists of three project time counters. Each shows you the now line’s current
location in the project using its own form of time measurement:
The ABS/REL indicator tells you whether the displayed time is:
•
absolute time (ABS)
—based on the real project start time.
•
relative time (REL)
—shifted during synchronization of the VS-2400CD to an external
device. See “Shifting the Project Start Time” on Page 303.
This counter: Shows the current time:
Time code as hours, minutes, seconds, frames and subframes
Measures and beats as measures, beats and ticks (there are 480 ticks in each beat)
Markers by showing the last marker that passed across the now line
If you’re recording MIDI instruments from a sequencer synced to the VS-2400CD, the
measures and beats counter can make it easy to perform very precise track edits on the
VS-2400CD. Be sure to set the project’s time signature and tempo to match that of the
sequencer before recording. See “Working with a Tempo Map” on Page 298.
