Current Time Location Display
At the top of many of the VS-2480’s screens is the current time location display, which
consists of three project time counters. Each shows you the timeline’s current location
in the project using its own form of time measurement:
The ABS/REL indicator tells you whether the displayed time is:
•
absolute time (ABS)
—based on the real project start time.
•
relative time (REL)
—shifted during synchronization of the VS-2480 to an external
device. See “Shifting the Project Start Time” on Page 316.
Changing Your Current Location in a Project
You can change your location using the current time location display, moving through
the project by any of its time increments.
Clock, Calendar
The clock shows the current time and the calendar shows today’s date.
This counter: Shows the current time:
Time code as hours, minutes, seconds, frames and subframes
Measures and beats as measures, beats and ticks (there are 480 ticks in each beat)
Markers by showing the last marker that passed across the timeline
If you’re recording MIDI instruments from a sequencer synced to the VS-2480, the
measures and beats counter can make it easy to perform very precise track edits on the
VS-2480. Be sure to set the project’s time signature and tempo to match that of the
sequencer before recording. See “Working with a Tempo Map” on Page 312.
Frame, subframe, tick
To use the: Do this:
mouse 1. Click on the desired unit of time measurement and drag
up or down to move forward or back in the project.
TIME/VALUE dial 1. Use
, or
to underline the desired unit of time
measurement.
2. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial clockwise or counter-clockwise
to move forward or back in the project. Hold SHIFT as you
turn the dial to move by larger chunks of time.
You can move through a project by 1/100ths of a frame by selecting the time code
counter’s subframe value and holding down SHIFT as you turn the TIME/VALUE dial.
In order for the calendar and clock to accurately show the current date and time, you
must set the VS-2480’s system clock. See “Setting the VS-2480’s Clock” on Page 65.
