act as on/off switches.
change the value of the associated parameter.
move the selection cursor to a location on the display.
exit the current screen.
Sometimes the boxes at the bottom of the screen are large and
contain icons. When this is the case, you can press the
corresponding F button to begin an operation or view a menu of
related parameters.
In all cases, the F button label tells you what the button does.

Pages

Often, there are more parameters available than can fit on the display at once. In these
cases, the parameters are arranged over several “pages” on the display. In such situations,
you see the Page symbol in the lower left-hand corner of the display—the display may also
show what look like folder tabs, presenting the available pages as tabbed layers.
Press the PAGE button repeatedly to display each of the available pages.

Param 1, 2, Etc. Screens

In some VS-2480 menus, parameter pages are divided further into sub-pages called
“Param1,” “Param2,” etc. You can select one of these sub-pages by pressing its F button.

The TIME/VALUE Dial

Once you’ve selected a parameter you want to edit, you can turn the
TIME/VALUE dial to change the parameter’s value. (The TIME/VALUE
dial is the inner part of the large black dial—the outer part is the
SHUTTLE ring, described on Page 178.)

The ENTER/YES and EXIT/NO Buttons

Use the ENTER/YES or EXIT/NO buttons to execute or cancel the
current operation, or to respond to a question posed on the display.
The ENTER/YES and EXIT NO buttons blink to signify that you can press the:
ENTER/YES button to finish, or press EXIT/NO to cancel, the current operation.
ENTER/YES to answer “yes” to a displayed question, or EXIT/NO to reply “no.
If you’ve connected an ASCII keyboard to the VS-2480, you can always press its Tab key
instead of the VS-2480’s PAGE button.
When you’re adjusting parameter values with the TIME/VALUE dial, hold down SHIFT
as you turn the dial to move through the available values by different-sized increments.
You can change your current time location in a project using the TIME/VALUE dial (see
Page 126).
