Functionality added in Version 2.00
The following functionality has been added in version 2.00 of the Roland VS-2480
system (hereafter referred to simply as the VS-2480) and the VS-2480CD.
• Mouse can be used with an attached VGA monitor
• Phrase levels can be adjusted individually (Phrase Level)
• Capture from a music CD (CD Capture)
• Creation of multiple sets (patterns) of automix data
• Mouse can be used for phrase trim-in/trim-out
• Additional shortcut buttons
Using an external VGA display to operate the VS-2480
An externally connected VGA display and mouse can be used to operate the
VS-2480/2480CD.
For details on the functions and names of the knobs and buttons that appear in the
VGA display, refer to “Objects shown in the VGA display” (p. 3).
To switch the controlling display
When using the VS-2480/2480CD, you need to select the display that you want to
use as the graphical user interface. If you are controlling the parameters using the
built-in LCD (liquid crystal display), the VGA display will be display-only. If you
want to use the external VGA display to control the parameters, you must switch the
graphical user interface to VGA.
■ To use the VGA display for control
1. Press [UTILITY].
2. Press the PAGE 1 tab [F1 (SYSTEM)].
3. Press [F2 (Param2)].
4. Move the cursor to “OPERATION TARGET,”
and turn the VALUE dial to select “VGA.” Now
you can control the parameters using the VGA
display.
■ To use the internal LCD for control
1. In the upper part of the VGA display, click “UTILITY.”
2. Click “SYSTEM PARAMETER.” The system parameter screen will appear.
3. Click “F2 (Param2).”
4. Click the “OPERATION TARGET” parameter “LCD.” Now you can
control the parameters using the LCD.
■ To instantly switch the controlling display
Here's how you can instantly switch control between the two displays:
• Hold down [SHIFT] and press [UTILITY].
If you press these two buttons when the LCD is the controlling display, the
controlling display is changed to VGA. Simply repeat the procedure to return
control to the LCD.
Hereafter, operations such
as pressing [UTILITY]
while you hold down
[SHIFT] will be shown
simply as
[SHIFT] + [UTILITY].

Functionality added in Version 2.00
Adjusting the volume of a phrase (Phrase Parameter)
The volume of a recorded phrase can be adjusted after it has been recorded. The
Phrase Parameter function lets you fade-in or fade-out individual phrases.
■ To fade-in a phrase
Here's how to use Phrase Parameter to fade-in a phrase.
1. On the VS-2480/2480CD, press [TRACK] to access the Track Edit
menu. Press [F6 (Reg→Ph)] (or [REGION/PHRASE]) so it lights in
green. Press PAGE 3 [F1 (PARAM)]. In the VGA screen, click
“TRACK” in the menu to select “PHRASE PARAMETER.” The
Phrase Parameter screen will appear.
2. Select the phrase that you want to fade-in.
3. Press (click) [F1 (PARAM)]. Now you can edit the following
parameters.
• PHRASE LEVEL
The level that will be reached when the fade-in is complete. Alternatively, the
level from which the fade-out will begin.
• FADE IN TIME, FADE OUT TIME
The time over which the fade-in and fade-out will occur.
• FADE IN CURVE, FADE OUT CURVE
Select the curve by which the fade-in or fade-out will change the volume. “Linear”
will change the phrase volume in a straight line. “Exp” will change the volume
exponentially. This will produce a subjective impression of linear change.
Volume change for playback from the middle of the phrase
If a phrase whose volume is controlled by the phrase parameters is played back
from the middle of the phrase, the volume will change in a different way than
specified by the FADE IN TIME parameter. If you locate to a time location within
the phrase, processing will occur as follows.
Example) With FADE IN TIME=10.00 sec., locate to a location 3 seconds
from the beginning, and then play back.
PLAY PLAY
Normally, fade-in would set the
level to minus infinity at the
Phrase Level
beginning of the phrase, and the
PHRASE LEVEL would be
reached at a point 10 seconds
from the beginning of the
phrase. However, if you play back from a point 3 seconds after the beginning of the
phrase, the level will change in 7 seconds from minus infinity to the PHRASE
LEVEL. This same change will also occur for fade-out.
Level

Fade In Time Fade In Time

Level

If FADE IN TIME or FADE
OUT TIME are set to an
extremely short time (less
than 0.02 sec.), a “blip” of
noise may be heard during
playback. If this occurs,
please specify a time
greater than 0.02 seconds.

Functionality added in Version 2.00
Regarding FADE IN TIME and FADE OUT TIME and
the length of the phrase
If the time occupied by the fade-in and fade-out is longer than the length of the
phrase, the FADE OUT TIME setting will be given priority for processing.
Example 1) When the fade time (FADE IN TIME + FADE OUT TIME) is
longer than the phrase
If the phrase is 5 seconds long, and
FADE IN TIME and FADE OUT
TIME are both 3.00 seconds, FADE
OUT TIME will take priority (the
FADE IN TIME setting will be
ignored).

Example 2) When the fade-out time is longer than the phrase
If the phrase is 5 seconds

the volume will change as
if FADE OUT TIME had
been set to the length of the
phrase (in this example, 5
seconds).

Capture Audio data from Audio CD (CD Capture)
VS-2480 and VS-2480CD have function to capture Audio data from Audio CDs.
If you are using a VS-2480 that is not equipped with an internal CD-RW
drive, you will need to purchase a separately available CD-RW drive.
For instructions on connecting the drive, refer to “Connecting the CD-R/RW Drive” (User
Guide p. 81).
PX-4220Te, PX-8220Te, PX-W124TSe, and PX-W1210TSE manufactured by PLEXTOR is
supported. In case you are using other drives approved by Roland, consult with your
retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor.
1. Load an Audio CD or CD-R/RW disc that contains audio you like to
capture on CD-RW drive.
fig.07-07-jj
2. Press [CD-RW MASTERING].
CD-RW Mastering Menu will appear, then
press PAGE 2 [F1 (CDCapt)]. In the VGA
screen, click “CD-RW MASTERING” in the
menu to select “CD CAPTURE.” CD
CAPTURE screen will appear.
3. Press [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] or use the
mouse to move curser and set each of
following parameters using TIME/VALUE
dial or dragging the mouse.
• L-Ch DESTINATION TRACK
Select the destination track of audio to capture. Select the destination track of left
channel audio here.
• R-Ch DESTINATION TRACK
Select the destination track of audio to capture. Select the destination track of right
channel audio here.
Audio can be captured only
if the current project has a
sampling frequency of 44.1
kHz.
If you are
using a VS-2480 without an
internal CD-RW drive, you
will need a separately sold
CD-RW drive (Roland CD
Recorder).
In the following cases, you
must specify a stereo pair
as the capture-destination
tracks. If the destination is
not a stereo pair, the
display will indicate
“Illegal Track Pair!,” and
the capture operation will
not be carried out.
• If the current project
has a recording mode of
“CD-R”
• If a CD-R mode phrase
has been recorded in
the capture-destination
track.
• CAPTURE TO
28
You can adjust the time of placement.
• to ZERO:
Place the audio data starting at 00h00m00s00f.
• to Last Phrs:0S:
Place the audio data after the end of the last phrase in the destination tracks.
• to Last Phrs:2S:
Place the audio data two seconds after the end of the last phrase in the
destination tracks.
• to Last Phrs:4S:
Place the audio data four seconds after the end of the last phrase in the
destination tracks.
If the track you select for
“L-Ch DESTINATION
TRACK” is a track in which
a CD-R mode phrase has
been recorded, turning the
TIME/VALUE dial will not
change “R-Ch
DESTINATION TRACK.”
