16—Using Effects

Roland VS-2480 Owner’s Manual www.rolandus.com 217

Inserting Effects on an Input or Track Channel

1. Select the group of channels that contains the desired input or track channel by
pressing its FADER button.
2. Press the desired channel’s CH EDIT button.
3. Select the FX INS parameter—the ENTER/YES button begins to flash.
4. Press ENTER/YES, or press PAGE and then F1 (FX Ins), to display the EFFECT
INSERT screen.
Each processor has its own set of insert controls. You
can select any available effect processor—depending on
the patch you want to use (Page 222)—and insert it on
the current input or track channel.
Each of the effect processors is a stereo processor with
left and right sides. You can insert both sides of an
effect, one or the other, or both sides one-after-another,
as explained below.
5. Select an effect’s insert assign switch and turn the TIME/VALUE dial to select the
desired insert routing. You can select OFF, so that the effect isn’t inserted on the
channel, or you can select:
When you select an insert routing, a symbol representing the processor’s currently
selected effect patch appears to show you the effect you’ve inserted. Lines in and out of
the symbol show the selected signal flow in and out of the inserted effect.
If a processor is tied up elsewhere, you’ll see an arrow pointing to the input or track
channel it’s inserted on, as with Effect 5 above. To change this assignment, press CH
EDIT for the channel on which it’s inserted to access its EFFECT INSERT screen.
The INSERT EFFECT section of the Info Display’s CH EDIT screen—Page 216—also
shows the routing of each effect inserted on the channel.
