Roland VS-2480 Owner’s Manual www.rolandus.com 373
When using the generator, start by choosing the desired test signal. Select the SOURCE
parameter and turn the TIME/VALUE dial to select:
•
Pink Noise
—a static-like noise comprised of the frequencies at each octave of the
frequency spectrum sounding together at equal volume. Useful for testing
speakers in conjunction with the VS-2480 spectrum analyzer. See Page 375.
•
WhiteNoise
—a static-like noise comprised of all frequencies in the frequency
spectrum sounding together at equal volume. Useful for testing speakers in
conjunction with the VS-2480 spectrum analyzer. See Page 375.
•
Sin Wave (“Sine Wave”)
—the generator acts as an oscillator, producing a pure tone
useful as a reference when you need to set levels using a fixed reference point. It’s
also helpful as a reference when sharing audio between multiple recorders to make
sure they reproduce different frequencies similarly—the sine wave can be set to
play at different frequencies. To set the sine wave’s frequency, adjust the tuning
knob that appears to the right of SOURCE when Sin Wave is selected.
•
METRONOME
—the VS-2480’s internal metronome. “Sending the Metronome to
Outputs” on Page 371 describes using the METRONOME setting.
To turn on the selected signal, turn the generator’s on/off switch on. The GENERATOR/
OSCILLATOR screen provides a variety of controls that let you adjust and send the
generator’s output to the desired destination:
•
ATT
—attenuates the level produced by the generator from -42.0dB to 0.0dB.
•
AUX 1-8 sends
—let you send the generator’s output to an effect or to an output,
allowing you, for example, to send the metronome to an Aux bus feeding a
headphone mix, as described on Page 371.
•
DIR 1-8
—let you route the generator’s output to any Direct bus.
•
PAN
—lets you adjust the panning of the generator’s mono output when you’re
sending it into the MASTER mix.
•
MIX
—lets you send the generator’s output into the MASTER mix (On), or remove it
from the MASTER mix (Off).
•
FADER
—allows you to set the generator’s final output level.
Metering on the GENERATOR/OSCILLATOR Screen
The GENERATOR/OSCILLATOR’s meters display always shows the MASTER and
MONITOR bus levels at the right. For the left part of the display, press:
•
F3 (AUXDIR)
—to view the eight Aux and eight Direct bus levels.
When the generator is producing the metronome’s sound, the metronome is no longer
routed directly to the MONITOR bus.
All of the generator’s Aux sends are always after its fader regardless of the Aux bus’s
Pre/Pst configuration.

2. Direct Busses 1-8
