Roland VS-1824 Connecting Insert Effects to Inputs and Tracks, 103, About Algorithms

[F2 (Clr)]:

Clears all the characters in the window.

[F3 (Del)]:

Deletes the character where the cursor is positioned.

[F4 (Ins)]:

Inserts a space where the cursor is positioned.

[F5 (Write)]:

Stores the user patch and exits the screen.

[F6 (EXIT)]:

Exits the screen without storing the user patch.

If you press [NUMERICS/ASCII] so it is lit, you can use the SELECT buttons to enter characters in a manner similar to a computer keyboard.

4.After entering the name, press [F5 (Write)]. The user patch is saved.

Connecting Insert Effects

Connecting Insert Effects to Inputs and Tracks

The following section explains in detail the steps to connect insert effects, and provides examples for each method.

1.Select the channel on which the effect is to be inserted. Press the SELECT button for either an input channel or a track channel. The button indicator lights, and the Mixer Screen appears in the display.

2.Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor to “FXIns.” Or, press [F1 (FX1In)]. If “FX1In” does not appear above [F1], press [PAGE] a few times until you see “FX1In”, and then press [F1 (FX1In)]. This will move the cursor directly to “FXIns.”

3.Press [ENTER/YES].

5.Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.

Save an Effect Patch as Part of a Mixer Scene

For more detailed information, refer to “Storing a Mixer Scene,” p. 84.

1.Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].

2.Press [SCENE]. The button indicator lights.

3.Press a SCENE button (1-8) that is not blinking. For example, if you wanted to store the settings to Scene 6, then press [6].

4.After the Scene is stored, the [SCENE] indicator goes off.

5.If you wish to clear the scene, press [SCENE] once. Then hold [CLEAR] and press the blinking SCENE button which you wish to clear.

About Algorithms

An algorithm determines the composition or structure of an effect. The VS8F-2 provides 36 different algorithms. Each effect patch uses at least one, and in many cases more than one of these algorithms. Check the algorithms used in each patch in “Preset Patch List” (Appendices p. 20). For details on each algorithm, refer to “Algorithm List” (Appendices p. 25).

4.Use [ ] and [ ] to move the cursor to the effect you want to insert.

Effect Insert Switch

Insert Return Level

Insert Send Level

5.Use the TIME/VALUE dial to set the selected effect's Effect Insert Switch.

FX1 (Effect Insert Switch)

This sets how the effect is connected.

Off: The channel is not routed into the effect.

Ins: The channel is routed into both channels of the stereo effect.

InsL: The channel is routed into the left channel of the stereo effect.

InsR: The channel is routed into the right channel of the stereo effect.

InsS: The channel is routed into both channels of the stereo effect, in series.
