FADER Select Indicator
On the VGA, a colored line appears beneath the set of channels currently assigned to
the VS-2480’s physical channel strips selected by pressing the corresponding FADER
button on the VS-2480 (Owner’s Manual Page 137), or by clicking the virtual FADER
buttons in the Multi-Channels Strip view’s MASTER fader strip (Page 70). This allows
you to tell at a glance if the channel strips you’re viewing on the VGA are currently
being controlled by the 16 physical channel strips.
When a set of input channels or the Aux master channels are selected with the FADER
buttons, the underline is amber. When track or FX return channels are selected, the
underline is green.
Aux Send Sliders
In the Input Mixer/Master Block, Track Mixer/FX Return Mixer and Multi-Channel
views, input, track and FX return channels all sport Aux send sliders. These sliders
allow you to send the desired amount of a channel’s signal to any of the eight Aux
busses, and show you at a glance each send level. To set an Aux send level, click and
drag its slider with your mouse to the desired position.
A slider’s color provides information about its Aux send.
When a slider is:
• blue—the Aux send is on and set to Post.
• red—the Aux send is on and set to Pre.
• gray—the Aux send is turned off.
• black—the send is turned all the way down.
You can change the Aux bus’s pre/post setting:
• on any channel’s VGA CH VIEW screen (Page 53).
• in the Input Mixer/Master Block view (described on Page 65).
• in the MASTER EDIT window available in the VGA main display’s MIXER menu
(Page 26).
• in the track controls area in the playlist (Page 40).
When an odd/even pair of Aux busses is linked, the slider for the even bus is replaced
by a panning handle, as described on Page 67.
