Editing Loop FROM and TO Points Manually
You can edit, clear and place Loop Punch FROM and TO points on the AUTO PUNCH/
LOOP screen in the UTILITY MENU.
1. Hold down SHIFT and press LOOP—the AUTO PUNCH/LOOP screen appears.
You can do a few things with your Auto Punch IN and OUT points on this screen:
• You can use the cursor buttons and TIME/VALUE dial, or your mouse, to
change either point’s location by time code or measures and beats.
• You can select FROM or TO on the screen and press F2 (CLEAR) to erase its
current time assignment.
• You can grab the timeline’s current position as a new FROM or TO point. Select
FROM or TO on the screen and click F3 (GetNow).
• You can move the timeline to an FROM or TO location by selecting FROM or
TO on the screen and clicking F4 (GO TO).
2. Press EXIT when you’re done to confirm your changes.
Activating Looped Playback
1. Move the timeline to a location shortly before the section you’ll be looping.
2. Press LOOP so it’s lit.
3. Press PLAY—when the VS-2480 reaches the end of the section to be looped—the TO
point—it starts over again at the beginning of the section (the FROM point) and
plays the section over and over again.
4. Press STOP to halt playback.
5. To turn looping off, press LOOP so it’s not lit.
Vari Pitch Playback
You can play—and record—a project at different speeds to raise or lower the pitch of its
recordings. There are a few situations in which you might want to do this:
• You might need to record a new track using an instrument that can’t be easily
retuned to your already recorded tracks, such as a piano or organ.
• You can record a track at an abnormally slow or fast speed so that when the project
is returned to normal speed, the track sounds sped-up or slowed down as a special
effect.
Audio CDs can only hold audio that’s at a 44.1kHz sample rate. If you plan to burn your
project onto a CD, don’t use Vari Pitch to set the project’s normal playback speed—use
it only during recording.
When you use Vari Pitch playback, the number of available project tracks may decrease.
In addition, the use of Vari Pitch may alter effect delay times and may change the sound
of distortion effects.
