Roland VS-1824 owner manual Mixer and System Initialize, Time / Value dial

The TIME / VALUE dial

Use the TIME/VALUE dial to change a value on the display. Turning the TIME/VALUE dial counterclockwise decreases a value; turning it clockwise increases it. Value changes are usually in single increment steps. If you hold SHIFT and turn the dial, values will increase or decrease by ten times (or one tenth) the normal rate, depending on the parameter.

Most value changes can be made while the VS-1824 is playing. However, you must first press [STOP] before changing V-Tracks and before changing mixer Scenes.

[ENTER/YES]

The [ENTER/YES] button is used to respond to an onscreen prompt. For example, if “Store Current?” is displayed, you can press [ENTER/YES] to save your song in its current state. On some screens, [ENTER/YES] will be blinking. In that case, pressing [ENTER/YES] will allow you to view more information than is presently shown on the display. For example, when making changes to the EQ of a track, press the blinking [ENTER/YES] button to see the pop-up EQ curve. To cancel the operation, press [EXIT/NO].

[PLAY (DISPLAY)]

Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the startup playlist display. Anytime you are in the middle of making a setting, and you want to get back to the startup screen, just press [PLAY (DISPLAY)]. It also helps to think of

[PLAY (DISPLAY)] as an “escape” button.

default state.
