Selecting Tracks on the VGA
To select a track on the VGA main display, click anywhere on the track in the playlist.
When a track is selected, its background changes to a lighter shade of gray and its
number turns blue.
Selecting Phrases and Regions on the VGA
The VS-2480 automatically assigns an alternating pattern of colors to the phrases in the
playlist to make them easy to distinguish from one another. When a phrase or region is
selected, it turns black and is outlined in its original color. Its editing waveform changes
from black to the original color of the phrase.
The Edit Control Strip
Above the playlist you’ll find the edit control strip, which contains basic editing tools.
IN, OUT, FROM and TO Areas
The IN, OUT, FROM and TWO areas allow you to set
edit points (Owner’s Manual Page 236), locate to them
and clear them. Each has a colored triangular button
that matches its playlist flag and a readout showing
the edit point’s current position. To:
• Place an edit point—move the timeline to the desired location and click the edit
point’s button.
• Change an edit point’s location—move the timeline to the desired location and click
the edit point’s button.
• Move the timeline to an edit point—hold down SHIFT on the VS-2480 and click the
edit point’s onscreen button.
• Clear an edit point—hold down CLEAR on the VS-2480 and click the edit point’s
onscreen button.
You can re-configure the behavior of the edit point buttons by setting the EDIT POINT
Sw TYPE parameter, as described on Owner’s Manual Page 247.
