Playlist
A list of all of the data to be played in a project, arranged along a horizontal, left-to-right
axis. On the Home screen and phrase sequencer screens, a playlist presents the project’s
phrases. On the AUTOMIX EDIT screen, Automix data is listed.
Project
All of the audio and settings for a recorded work in the VS-2480, stored as a project disk file
on the VS-2480’s hard drive.
PS/2
PS/2 is a wiring standard for computer peripheral devices developed by IBM.
Punch
The process of re-recording sections of a previously recorded track. The act of starting a
punch is called “punching in.” Ending a punch is called “punching out.”
Realtime
A realtime process is one that occurs while you’re recording or playing back a project
without requiring you to stop either action, since it takes place in “real time.”
Redo
You can reverse an undo by performing a “redo.” See “Undo.”
Region
A region is a section of time within a project, defined by the placement of IN and OUT edit
points—it’s the portion of the project that falls between these two edit points.
Removable disk drive
A hard drive device whose disk platter resides on a cartridge that can be removed from the
device and replaced with another cartridge. A Zip drive is a removable drive.
Recover
To reload a project you’ve backed up, use the project RECOVER operation. When you
recover backup data, the VS-2480 re-converts it back to its original form.
Routing
The connection of a component’s output to the input of another component. For example,
you can route input jacks to input channels, input channels to tracks, Aux busses to effects
or to output jacks, and so on.
Sample rate
Digital audio recorders don’t actually capture sound continually—they sample the sound
many, many times per second. When the samples are played back, the ear perceives what
it’s hearing as continuous audio. The number of times per second that a digital recorder
samples its audio is referred to as its “sample rate.” CDs use a 44.1kHz sample rate—44,100
samples per second. The VS-2480 can record at various sample rates.
