4—Setting Up and Basic Operations
Roland VS-2400CD Owner’s Manual www.RolandUS.com 77
“Chemistry” contains Automix data that adjusts various track channel levels
throughout the course of the song. Since the VS-2400CD has motorized faders, you can
literally watch some of these changes taking place.
1. Press AUTOMIX so that it lights—Automix is now turned on.
2. Press Tr 1-12 so the 12 channel strips are controlling Tracks 1-12.
3. Press 0 on the numeric keypad to jump to Locator 01 at the start of the song.
4. Press PLAY to begin playback and watch Automix at work.
5. Watch how Fader 10—the lead vocal track—leaps into position just before the lead
singer begins singing.
6. As “Chemistry” continues to play, press Tr 1-12 and Tr 13-24 to watch what Automix
does throughout the song on Tracks 1-12 and Tracks 13-24, respectively.
7. When you’re done, press ZERO and then AUTOMIX to turn it off.
See Chapter 25 to learn about Automix.
Recalling Scenes
The VS-2400CD can memorize up to 100 mix setups as “scenes.” Scenes allow you to:
• store and recall multiple versions of a mix.
• store and recall different versions of a project with different V-Tracks (Page 87).
“Chemistry” contains some scenes that show off the way scenes work.
1. Press SCENE•BANK so it lights.
Scenes—like locators—are stored in banks of ten scenes each, numbered from 0-9.
Since Scene Bank 0 is already selected, we only need to enter each desired scene’s
second digit for the scenes in “Chemistry.”
2. Press 1 on the keypad. Scene 01—”Drums/Bass”—loads the settings it contains.
3. Play “Chemistry” to hear how it sounds in Scene 01.
4. Press STOP when you’re done and keep your eyes on the display.
5. Press SCENE again, and then 2 on the keypad to recall Scene 02—”4FX Mix”. The
display changes to show that this scene uses different V-Tracks than Scene 01.
6. Press ZERO and then PLAY to listen to the way the song’s changed.
7. Try out the other scenes in “Chemistry.”
To learn about storing scenes, recalling them and more, see “Scenes” on Page 139.
Other Demo
Your hard drive also contains other VS-2400CD demo. To learn how to load it, see
“Loading a Project” on Page 91.
The name of the current scene appears in the top right area of a connected VGA
monitor.
You can recall scenes only while a project isn’t playing, so press STOP before
attempting to recall a scene.
