Roland VS-2480 Owner’s Manual, Version Two Addendum www.RolandUS.com 7
1—Welcome to Version Two
The
VS-2480 Version Two Addendum
is a companion to the
VS-2480 Owner’s Manual
and
describes the features of the Version 2.00 operating system for the VS-2480CD and the
VS-2480 24-Track, 24-Bit Digital Studios.
About the
VS-2480 Version Two Addendum
Throughout the
Addendum
, we’ll refer to both V-Studios as the “VS-2480” to make
things simpler. Unless otherwise noted, everything in the
Addendum
applies equally to
the VS-2480CD and VS-2480.
Though many of Version Two’s new features involve the use of an external VGA display,
it also adds new capabilities to the VS-2480 itself. These are described in the
Addendum’s
second chapter, “Version Two Enhancements.” The remaining chapters discuss Version
Two’s VGA display-related features—these chapters assume you’ve connected a color
VGA display and configured it for use.
Since most VGA display features are also found on the VS-2480 itself, the
VS-2480
Owner’s Manual
already contains descriptions of how they work. When the
Owner’s
Manual
explains how a VGA feature works, we’ll point you to the relevant page or
pages. We’ll do this in either of two ways:
Procedure Descriptions
Most of the VS-2480’s operations can be performed from its top panel or the VGA
display. You’ll often be able to, for example, use a button by pressing it on the VS-2480
or by clicking it with your mouse on the VGA or the VS-2480’s LCD. You could also set a
level by moving a channel strip fader or by dragging your mouse.
For the sake of simplicity, certain sections of the
Addendum
describe actions as if you’re
working the VS-2480’s top-panel controls. As you follow these steps, bear in mind that
in many cases you can just as easily use your mouse on the VGA or the VS-2480’s LCD.
The same applies to most of the operations described in the
VS-2480 Owner’s Manual
.
Make sure that you’ve got a current version of the
VS-2480 Owner’s Manual
, and keep it
handy as you explore the features of Version Two. You can identify a current manual by
the numbers in the lower right-hand corner of its back cover. If your manual doesn’t
say “OS v.1.22” or have a date of “‘01-11” or later, contact your local Roland distributor.
If you bought your VS-2480 in the US, call Roland Customer Service at 323-890-3700,
Extension 2289 to obtain a new version of the manual.
•When groups of items are presented in lists, their
Owner’s Manual
pages will be shown at their right.
• In other cases, we’ll use the double-arrow symbol shown here. In
this example, we’d be directing you to Page 123.
When we refer to the “LCD,” we’re referring to the VS-2480’s own, built-in LCD. To
avoid confusion, bear this in mind if your external VGA display is also an LCD.
