Roland Vs-880 When the mixer corresponds to the input sources Input MIX, Equalizer, Output

Chapter 2 Before you start (VS-880 terminology)

Input:

For each track, make one selection from INPUT1Ð4, DIGITAL-L or DIGITAL-R.

You can also specify that the signals of the MIX buss or AUX buss be recorded.

Equalizer:

For each channel, the equalizer functions as a 3-band parametric equalizer with high (shelving type), middle (peaking type), and low (shelving type) bands. This can be turned off if you do not wish to use it.

Output:

The outputs of each channel are collected into a stereo signal by the MIX buss and output from the MASTER OUT jack. The same signal is also sent from the PHONES jack and the DIGITAL OUT connector.

When the mixer corresponds to the input sources (INPUT MIX)

The mixer will function as a 6-in/10-out mixer placed before the recorder section. The mixer inputs will correspond to the external input sources.

Input Mix mode (Input channel 1–6)

INPUT 1				REC 1-2 buss (Recorder)
INPUT 2	EQ 1	Fader 1	Pan 1
				REC 3-4 buss (Recorder)
INPUT 3	EQ 2	Fader 2	Pan 2
				REC 5-6 buss (Recorder)
INPUT 4	EQ 3	Fader 3	Pan 3
				REC 7-8 buss (Recorder)
	EQ 4	Fader 4	Pan 4
DIGITAL IN 5 (L)
				MIX buss (MASTER OUT L, R)
	EQ 5	Fader 5	Pan 5
DIGITAL IN 6 (R)
	EQ 6	Fader 6	Pan 6

Buss select

Input:

Channels 1Ð4 correspond to INPUT1Ð4, and channels 5 and 6 correspond to DIGITAL IN (5, 6). Moving the faders or pan knobs of channels 7 or 8 will not cause anything to happen.

Equalizer:

Normally the equalizer section will function as 2-band parametric equalizers with high (shelving type) and low (shelving type) bands. This can be turned off if you do not wish to use it.

The V-XPANDED enhancement also allows the equalizers to be used as 3-band parametric equal- izers. Refer to ÒUsing 3-band equalizer in INPUT MIX/TRACK MIXÓ (p.20).

Output:

The output of each channel will be sent to REC busses 1–8, and will be recorded just as they are on tracks 1Ð8 of the recorder section. If signals are not sent to the REC busses, it will not be possible to record on the corresponding tracks.

If you wish to output directly to the MASTER OUT jacks, such as when simply mixing without recording into the recorder section, select the MIX buss.
