Setting Dynamics and EQ Parameters for One Channel
When the AUX SEND•PRM EDIT button is lit red, each of the 16 PAN/AUX SEND 1-8
knobs adjusts the value of one of the currently selected channel’s dynamics or EQ
parameters. (The parameter each knob adjusts is printed beneath the knob.) This offers
the convenience of having a dedicated knob for these important parameters.
Activating Knob Control of Dynamics and EQ Parameters
1. If the AUX SEND•PRM EDIT button is:
• lit red—the PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knobs are set to control the selected channel’s
dynamics and EQ parameters
• not lit—press the button repeatedly until it’s lit red.
• lit green—press the flashing KNOB/FDR ASSIGN•AUX 1-8 button in the
LOCATOR/MARKER/SCENE area of the VS-2480’s top panel.
2. Activate control of the channel by pressing the FADER button that selects the
group of channels that includes the desired channel (Page 24).
3. Press the CH EDIT button for the channel whose parameters you wish to adjust.
4. Turn the desired PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knob to adjust a parameter’s value.
Sending Channel Signals to an Aux Bus
You can use each of the PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knobs to send the corresponding
channel’s signal to a selected AUX send bus. This allows you to quickly set up how
much signal you’d like to send to a particular effect or VS-2480 output from all of your
channels without having to navigate to their individual AUX send settings.
Activating Knob Control of Aux Send Levels
1. Press the KNOB/FDR ASSIGN•AUX 1-8 button in the LOCATOR/MARKER/
SCENE area so that the button’s indicator flashes.
2. On the numeric keypad, press the number of the Aux bus whose send levels you’d
like to control (1-8). The selected Aux bus’s number lights on the keypad.
3. Turn a PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knob to adjust the corresponding channel’s send to the
selected Aux bus.
Controlling a Parameter of Your Choice
The VS-2480 allows you to assign a CH EDIT parameter to the PAN/AUX SEND 1-8
knobs so you can quickly adjust its value for all of your channels. This parameter is
referred to as the “USER” parameter. This can be handy in any number of situations:
• In a recording session in which you’re recording multiple players at once, select
ATT as your USER parameter so that you can move from input to input, adjusting
each input’s level attenuation by turning its PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knob.
• If you’re trying to clean up your mix by adjusting the level of a specific range of
frequencies in your tracks, select the gain parameter for the desired range and use
the knobs to quickly go through your tracks and fix your EQ problem.
While the above steps describe selecting the desired channel after activating the knobs
for channel-parameter control, you can select the channel first if you prefer.
You can utilize the USER feature to easily automate any channel parameter changes to
one or more tracks.
