25—Surround

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

Certain parameter values change when you turn on Surround mode.

Positioning a Signal in the Surround Field

Each input, track and FX return channel has its own Surround controls that let you
place its signal at the desired location within the three-dimensional Surround field. You
can position a channel’s signal from its CH EDIT VIEW page, or from its dedicated CH
EDIT SURROUND screen that presents a large graphic representation of the signal’s
Surround position.
1. Press the FADER button that selects the group of channels containing the one
whose Surround position you want to set.
2. Press the desired channel’s CH EDIT button.
At the bottom of the CH EDIT VIEW screen, you see that Surround parameters
have replaced the Aux bus send controls for the Aux busses used by the selected
Surround format.
These parameters are the same as those found on the channel’s CH EDIT
SURROUND screen—they’re available here to provide a quick way to adjust a
channel’s Surround position as you work with its other CH EDIT parameters. We’ll
describe how the Surround parameters work in our discussion of the CH EDIT
SURROUND screen.
3. If “Surrnd” isn’t visible above F2, press PAGE until it is.
4. Press F2 (Surrnd) to view the CH EDIT SURROUND screen.
