SYNC

Synchronization parameters and operations are described starting on Page 307. See the

VS-2480 Owner’s Manual

index for page numbers of specific parameter references.

TEMPO

“Synchronization with Tempo Changes” on Page 309 introduces the
project tempo map. “Working with a Tempo Map” on Page 312 explains
how to use it.

Metronome

When you’re using the project tempo map (see above), the VS-2480 provides a built-in
metronome you can use during recording and playback. The metronome’s tempo
comes from the tempo map, so the metronome slows down and speeds up along with
the project tempo.

You can play the metronome internally using a variety of onboard sounds, including a
simple, programmable beat box. You can send the metronome out to performers’
headphones mixes. The metronome can also generate MIDI notes that play percussion
sounds produced by an external MIDI device (Page 306).

When the metronome is used internally, it’s normally sent to the VS-2480’s MONITOR
bus—in order to hear the metronome, therefore, you have to be listening to the
MONITOR bus. You can also send the metronome to other VS-2480’s outputs as
described in “Sending the Metronome to Outputs” on Page 371.
