To Turn the KNOB/FADER ASSIGN Feature On and Off

1. Press KNOB/FDR ASSIGN so that it’s flashing to turn the feature on.
2. Press KNOB/FDR ASSIGN again—so its indicator light goes out—to turn the
feature off.

Activating Knob or Fader Control of Aux Send Levels

1. Set the KNOB/FADER ASSIGN Sw to Knob or Fader to assign the feature to the
PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knobs or the channel faders (Page 140), as desired.
2. Press the KNOB/FDR ASSIGN•AUX 1-8 button in the LOCATOR/MARKER/
SCENE area so that the button’s indicator flashes.
3. On the 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.
4. Turn a PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knob or move a channel fader—depending on what
you’ve selected in Step 1—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 any CH EDIT parameter to the PAN/AUX SEND 1-8
knobs or channel faders so you can quickly adjust its value for all of your channels. This
parameter is referred to as the “USER” parameter, and can be handy in any number of
situations. For example:
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.
The fact that you can select any channel parameter as your USER parameter lets
you use the PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knobs or the channel faders as convenient
realtime controllers when you’re recording Automix data (Chapter 26).

Activating Knob or Fader Control of Any Channel Parameter

1. Set the KNOB/FADER ASSIGN Sw to Knob or Fader to assign the feature to the
PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knobs or the channel faders (Page 140), as desired.
2. Press the KNOB/FDR ASSIGN•AUX 1-8 button in the LOCATOR/MARKER/
SCENE area of the VS-2480’s top panel so that it’s flashing.
3. While holding down SHIFT, press 9•USER on the numeric keypad—this shortcut
takes you directly to the UTILITY menu’s USER parameter.
4. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to select the desired USER parameter.
5. Press F6 (EXIT.)
6. On the numeric keypad, press 9•USER. Its indicator button lights, and the PAN/
AUX SEND 1-8 knobs or channel faders—depending on what you’ve selected in
Step 1—are now controlling the selected USER parameter.
Before you can control a channel’s Aux send level with its PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knob,
you have to turn on the channel’s CH EDIT Send Status parameter. For input and track
channels, see Page 152. For FX return channels, see Page 230.
Your USER parameter choice is stored with each project, so that whenever you’re
working on a project, you can quickly switch the knobs or faders back to the control of
your USER parameter.
