22—Working with the VS-2480 0utputs

Roland VS-2480 Owner’s Manual www.rolandus.com 289

The output jack and connector pairs run along the top of the screen, and the bus
pairs run up and down its left edge.
4. Use

or

to select the desired pair of output jacks or digital connectors.
5. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to choose the desired pair of busses to be routed to the
selected output pair—as you turn the dial, the connection box moves up and down
the display, showing you what’s routed to the selected pair of outputs.

Routing a Pair of Busses to the Stereo MONITOR Bus

1. Press EZ ROUTING.
2. If “OUTPUT” isn’t above F3, press PAGE repeatedly until it is.
3. Press F3 (OUTPUT)—the OUTPUT ASSIGN screen appears.
The assignment of a pair of busses—or a stereo bus—to the stereo MONITOR bus
is shown by the MONITOR bus assignment junction at the left of the output
routing area on the OUTPUT ASSIGN screen as shown above.
4. Press

to highlight the MONITOR bus assignment junction.
5. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to choose the pair of busses to be sent to the stereo
MONITOR bus—as you turn the dial, the connection moves up and down through
the busses on the left side of the display, showing what’s being sent to the bus.

Track Direct Outs

You can route any odd/even pair of the VS-2480’s tracks directly to a pair of outputs on
the EZ ROUTING OUTPUT ASSIGN screen. By default, the screen is set up for bus
routing, so you’ll need to activate the track direct outs when you want to send tracks to
outputs without using busses. You can select whether the tracks’ signals are to be sent
to outputs before or after their track channel faders.
If the TRACK DIRECT OUT parameter is turned on, turn it off to activate bus routing.
When you do this, routings between tracks and outputs are de-activated, though their
connections remain in place.
If you prefer, you can route busses to outputs by dragging an output pair’s connection
box down to the desired bus pair with your mouse.
MONITOR bus assignment is unaffected by the setting of the TRACK DIRECT OUT
parameter—you can route signals to the MONITOR bus at any time.
When the track direct outs are turned on, Aux and Direct bus output connections aren’t
available. If you need to send a combination of tracks and Aux or Direct busses to
outputs, send the tracks via Direct busses instead of the track direct outs—see Page 202.
In this illustration, we’ve
selected the MONITOR
bus assignment junction,
and the stereo MASTER
bus is selected as the
signal being sent to the
stereo MONITOR bus.
