V-Track (Track Mixer Channels Only)Choose V-Tracks 1 “16. Each V-Track can be named. A list of named V-Tracks can be navigated with the mouse. Taking the time to name your V-Tracks as you go will help you stay on top of your project. PhaseThe Phase switch literally turns your audio upside down! The choices are Normal or Inverted. If you have several mics on one source, experimenting with the Phase switch's settings on the several channels will yield different results. Channel GroupWhen you create a group of channels, they will all react proportionally to the motion of any fader within the group. By grouping all the faders that control your drum tracks, for example, you can raise or lower the entire drum mix with one fader. You should get the individual levels set first, then group the channels. Channel Link and Fader LinkWhen you are dealing with a stereo source, you may Channel Link adjacent channels to share adjustments of dynamics and EQ. By selecting the SUB DISP button under the VGA fader of linked channels, the individual channels may be panned and leveled. The main track faders then control how much of the custom pan and leveled signal reaches the mix. If you wish to maintain control over each channel separately, Fader Link allows you to link only the faders.
Phrase PadsIn the Phrase Pad mode, each channel (or channel pair) becomes a sample player. Each track designated as a phrase pad will play the first phrase that occurs on the track. That phase does not need to be located at Zero; it can be anywhere on the track. While the VS-2480 is in Phrase Sequence mode, the TRACK STATUS buttons are the triggers for the samples. The manner in which the playback occurs is governed by the Phrase mode switch.
