15—The Aux and Direct Busses
Roland VS-2480 Owner’s Manual www.rolandus.com 209
Sending a Signal to a Direct Bus
Send an input or track channel’s signal to a Direct bus from the channel’s CH EDIT
VIEW screen—see Page 156. Page 229 describes sending an effect to a Direct bus.
Direct Bus Levels
While each Direct bus’s level is nominally a carbon copy of the input, track or FX return
channel signal it carries, you can adjust the final level of a Direct bus on its MASTER
EDIT configuration screen, as described in “Configuring a Direct Bus” below. This can
be helpful if you’re sending a channel’s signal somewhere else in addition to the Direct
bus, or to multiple Direct busses.
Metering Direct Bus Levels
You can see each Direct bus’s level on in the AUXDIR meters on the VS-2480’s home
page. See Page 206 to learn how to view these meters.
Configuring a Direct Bus
Each Direct bus can receive signals from an input, track or FX return channel before or
after—pre or post—the channel’s fader level control. Generally, you’ll want to use the
post-fader send, though the pre-fader send can be handy when you’re using a Direct
bus for adding an insert-like external effect to a channel’s signal (Page 208).
1. While holding down SHIFT, press TR 1-16•MASTER EDIT.
2. Set the Direct bus’s Pre/Pst switch to the desired value.
3. Adjust the final level parameter at the bottom of its control
strip.
When you send an FX return channel’s stereo signal to a Direct bus, its left and right
sides are mixed together in the mono Direct bus.
When you send a channel’s signal to a Direct bus, it’s done using a simple on/off
switch. There’s no separate send level control for sending the signal to a Direct bus.
The SRC readout shows the input or track channel signal
currently assigned to the Direct bus.
