SMPTE
Short for “Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.” SMPTE is a form of time
code data that’s sent from a master device to a slave device(s)—see “Slave” above. It allows
you to synchronize the VS-2400CD’s hard disk recorder with external devices.
Snapshot
An Automix object that stores the values of all automatable parameters at a particular
moment in a project. When the project is played, Automix re-installs the parameters’
values when the now line reaches the location at which the snapshot was taken.
Song Position Pointer (SPP)
A type of MIDI message that communicates song/sequence/project location information by
transmitting the number of 16th notes since the beginning of the song/sequence/project.
Subframe
A subdivision of a SMPTE or MTC frame equaling 1/98th of a frame.
Synchronization
The process of coordinating the timing of two devices.
Take
In the VS-2400CD, a take is an audio file recorded on your hard drive. In general studio
usage, “take” refers to an attempt to record a performance, successful or otherwise.
Tick
One 480th of a quarter note at the current project tempo.
Now line
The dark vertical line at the center of a playlist that represents your current position in the
playlist. Also called a “now line.”
TRS
Short for “Tip/Ring/Sleeve.” A type of 1/4” audio cable connector that uses three wires for
carrying audio signals and for grounding. The wires are attached to the connector’s tip, ring
and a second ring called a “sleeve.”
Track
In the VS-2400CD’s hard disk recorder, a track is a collection of 16 V-Tracks, any one of
which can be active at a time. With the Automix feature, a track is a string of parameter
values for a mixer channel or bus recorded as Automix data. See “V-Track.”
Unbalanced
A type of audio cable and connector that uses two wires, one for the audio and one for the
ground—a third wire isn’t used.
