Removing a Direct Current Offset from the MIX Bus

When the level meters of a device (mixer etc.) connected to the output of the VS-1824 may move even though no sound is being output from the VS-1824, you may be experiencing a direct current offset on the MIX bus that is being output from the VS-1824’s MASTER outputs. This can be removed.

1.Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].

2.Hold down [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)]. The System Menu icon is displayed.

If the System Menu icon does not appear, press [F6 (EXIT)].

3.Press [F2 (GLOBL)].

If “GLOBL” does not appear above [F2], first press [PAGE] until “GLOBL” appears, and then press [F2 (GLOBL)].

4.Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor to “DC Cut,” and use the TIME/VALUE dial to

select the desired setting.

If “DC Cut” is not shown, press [F2 (Prm2)], and turn the TIME/VALUE dial.

DC Cut

When this is turned on, any direct current offset on the MIX bus will be removed before the VS-1824 MASTER outputs.

5.Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].

MIDI Model ID

MIDI devices communicating with the VS-1824 using System Exclusive messages identify it by its model ID number. The MIDI Model ID parameter allows you to switch the VS- 1824’s ID number to the number used by the VS-1680. When MIDI Model ID is set to “VS-1680,” you can use VS-1680- based software—such as Logic VS, v. 4.X—with the VS-1824. The MIDI Model ID is not the same thing as a MIDI Device ID—the VS-1824 provides a separate Device ID parameter (p. 261).

1.Hold [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)]. The System Menu icon is displayed.

If the System Menu icon does not appear, press [F6 (EXIT)].

2.Press [F2 (GLOBL)].

If “GLOBL” does not appear above [F2], first press [PAGE] until “GLOBL” appears, and then press [F2 (GLOBL)].

3.Press [F2 (Prm 2)]. If “Prm 2” does not appear above [F2], first press [PAGE] until “Prm 2” appears, and then press [F2 (Prm 2)].

4.Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor to “MIDI Model ID.” Use the TIME/VALUE dial

to select the desired setting.

MIDI Model ID

VS-1880:

The VS-1824 uses its factory-designated MIDI Model

ID number.

VS-1680:

The VS-1824 uses the MIDI Model ID number used by the VS-1680.

When MIDI Model ID is set to “VS-1680,” you cannot

control the VS-1824’s Tracks 17 and 18 via MIDI. Chapter 21

If you are using a VS-1824 and a VS-1680 in the same MIDI system, and you set the VS-1824’s MIDI Model ID parameter to “VS-1680,” be sure to set the two recorders to different Device ID numbers (see p. 261).
