The SHUTTLE Ring

The outer ring around the TIME VALUE dial is the
SHUTTLE ring. You can use the ring to move quickly:

back through the project

—by turning the ring counter-

clockwise.

forward through the project

—by turning the ring

clockwise.

When you let go of the SHUTTLE ring, it jumps back to its center position.

The farther you turn the SHUTTLE ring, the faster you travel through the project.
When it’s turned about 45 degrees in either direction, you’ll be moving 10 times the
speed of playback; at 80 degrees you’ll be going 40 times the normal playback speed.

If you use the SHUTTLE ring while the project’s playing, the VS-2480 will preview short
snippets of audio at fixed intervals as you move through the project so you can hear
where you are. When you let go of the SHUTTLE ring, normal playback resumes.

The TRACK STATUS Buttons

When the channel strips are controlling the track channels—
when TR 1-16 or TR 17-24 is lit—the TRACK STATUS•PHRASE
PAD buttons act as TRACK STATUS buttons. Each of these
buttons sets the current behavior of its corresponding track.

How the TRACK STATUS Buttons Work

Each time you press a TRACK STATUS button, you change the current operating mode
of the corresponding track. (We’ll mention some shortcuts for doing this later on.) The
TRACK STATUS button’s color shows you the track’s current state:

If the button is:

The track:

Not lit

is turned off. No recording or playback will occur.

Green

is set to play back what’s recorded on the track.

Flashing red

is ready, or “armed,” for recording with simple monitoring
(Page 191).

Flashing red and amber

is armed for recording with dual monitoring (Page 191).

Solidly lit red

the track is in the process of recording.
