21—Using the Phrase Pads
Roland VS-2480 Owner’s Manual www.rolandus.com 285
The amount of time by which the timeline moves and the time window are determined
by F2’s setting. When:
•
F2 (Length)
—the timeline moves forward or back by an amount of time equal to the
shortest phrase it’s touching.
•
F2 (Meas)
—the timeline moves forward or back to the next measure, changing the
duration of the nearest phrase that’s located a measure or less to its left.
•
F3 (Beat)
—the timeline moves forward or back to the next beat, changing the
duration of the nearest phrase that’s located a beat or less to its left.
Controlling the Sound of Sequenced Tracks
Each phrase sequencer track borrows the corresponding track channel when the
VS-2480’s in Phrase Sequence mode—in essence, it becomes a sequence track channel.
The track channel’s fader and all of its CH EDIT tools—including its dynamics
processor and EQ—are available for shaping the sound of the sequencer track. You can
even add effects, just as if you were working with a hard disk recorder track.
Since the CH EDIT buttons act as PHRASE SEQ STATUS buttons in Phrase Pad and
Phrase Sequencer mode, there’s a special way to get to the sequence track’s CH EDIT
screen, which we mentioned in passing earlier:
• Hold down SHIFT and press CH EDIT. Do the same thing again to exit the CH
EDIT VIEW screen and return to the previous screen.
Phrase Sequence Bouncing
You can bounce what you’ve recorded on your phrase sequence tracks to tracks in the
hard disk recorder. Once you’ve performed the bounce, you can hear your phrase
sequence—now converted to audio recorded on project tracks—without entering
Phrase Sequence mode.
The process of bouncing phrase sequence tracks is a lot like normal bouncing, except
that you bounce from source
sequence
tracks to destination
hard disk recorder
tracks. For
a detailed explanation of normal bouncing, see Page 195.
If the timeline backsteps beyond the start of a phrase it’s touching, the entire phrase is
deleted.
It’s a good idea to turn on the grid when you’re using Tie, Rest and BackStep to help
you visually keep track of what you’re doing.
When you’re in Phrase Pad mode—and not using the phrase sequencer—the CH EDIT
tools control the sound of the live phrase pads.
When bouncing phrase sequencer tracks, you can link source sequence tracks or
destination hard disk recorder tracks for stereo bouncing, as usual.
