Using a Mouse with the VS-2480
A mouse can make many VS-2480 tasks easier to perform.You can use the mouse to set
parameter values, use it during track editing operations, and more. The VS-2480 uses a
two-button mouse, with the left button serving as a click button, and the right-hand
button calling up special menus on various screens. If we say to simply “click” the
mouse, we’re referring to a clicking with the left mouse button.
