Using a Roland DIF-AT

With an ADAT

With a Roland DIF-AT, audio can be digitally exchanged between the VS-2480 and an
ADAT recorder, controlling the ADAT from the VS-2480.
1. With the power to all devices turned off, connect the ADAT to the
DIF-AT, and the DIF-AT to the VS-2480.
2. Turn on the ALESIS ADAT, and then turn on the VS-2480.
3. Press UTILITY.
4. Press PAGE until “R-BUS” appears above F2.
5. Press F2 (R-BUS)—the R-BUS CONFIG screen appears (Page 377).
6. Activate remote control of the R-BUS jack to which your DIF-AT—and hence the
ADAT—is connected.
7. Press the F button for the DIF-AT’s R-BUS jack to
display the DIF-AT’s settings.
8. Set INPUT SELECT to ADAT.
9. Press UTILITY.
10. Press PAGE until “Proj” appears above F3.
11. Press F3 (Proj)—the PROJECT PARAMETER screen
appears.
12. Set MASTER CLOCK to INT.
13. Press UTILITY.
14. Press F5 (MIDI)—the display switches to the MIDI PARAMETER screen.
15. Set MMC MODE to MASTER.
16. Press UTILITY.
17. Press F6 (SYNC)—the SYNC PARAMETER screen appears.
18. Set SYNC MODE to INT and set the R-BUS SYNC Gen. parameter for the R-BUS
jack you’re using to MTC.

With a TASCAM DA Series Device

With a Roland DIF-AT, audio can be digitally exchanged between the VS-2480 and a
DA Series—T-DIF—device, with the VS-2480 being controlled by the DA Series device.
1. With the power to all devices turned off, connect the DA series device to the
DIF-AT, and the DIF-AT to the VS-2480.
2. Turn on the TASCAM DA Series device, and then turn on the VS-2480.
3. Press UTILITY.
4. Press PAGE until “R-BUS” appears above F2.
5. Press F2 (R-BUS)—the R-BUS CONFIG screen appears (Page 377).
6. As described on Page 377, activate remote control of the R-BUS jack to which your
DIF-AT—and hence the DA Series device—is connected.
Connect the ADAT’s SYNC IN connector to the SYNC connector on the DIF-AT. This
connection is required for controlling the ADAT remotely from the VS-2480/DIF-AT,
and to transmit MTC from the VS-2480.
A TASCAM DA Series device’s word clock cannot be slaved to the VS-2480. It must
provide the master word clock for both devices.
Connect the DA Series device’s SYNC IN connector to the SYNC connector on the
DIF-AT—its SYNC OUT connector

cannot

be connected to the DIF-AT.
