Chapter 21 System and Global Settings

Fade Length

During track editing, or punch-in and punch-out recording, it is possible that a tiny audio click may occur. The VS-1824 can fade in and fade out these edges so no noise is heard.

Adjust the Fade Length if an objectionable noise occurs as a result of editing or recording. A Fade Length setting applies to both the fade-in at the beginning of a phrase, and the fadeout at the end of the phrase.

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 [F3 (PLAY)].

If “PLAY” does not appear above [F3], first press [PAGE] until “PLAY” appears, and then press [F3 (PLAY)].

3.Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor to “Fade Length.” Use the TIME/VALUE dial to

change the setting.

Fade Length

This sets the length—2, 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 ms—of the fade-in and fadeout.

* It is not possible to set the Fade Length time to 0.

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

Scrolling the Waveform Display

When a song is played back while waveforms are shown in the playlist (p. 33), the waveform display scrolls in keeping with the playback time.

1.Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].

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

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

3.Press [F3 (PLAY)].

If “PLAY” does not appear above [F3], first press [PAGE] until “PLAY” appears, and then press [F3 (PLAY)].

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

change the setting.

Waveform Scroll

When set to “On,” the waveform scrolls in keeping with the playback time.

The “Drive Busy” indication may appear more readily when Waveform Scroll is on, which may result in recording being cancelled. If this occurs, turn the Waveform Scroll function off.

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

6.Press [F5 (WAVE)].

If “WAVE” does not appear above [F5], first press [PAGE] until “WAVE” appears, and then press [F5 (WAVE)].
