Playing the Phrase Pads
You can press a channel strip’s TRACK STATUS/PHRASE PAD button—we’ll call it a
“PHRASE PAD” button for the rest of this section—to play a phrase located on the
corresponding track. This feature can be turned on or off for each track in a project. In
“You Don’t Know,” you can play phrases on several tracks.
1. Press PHRASE PAD PLAY•PHRASE SEQ so that it lights green.

buttons for Tracks 4-10 are lit in amber to show that they’re set to play phrases.
3. Press the PHRASE PAD button for Track Channel 9—the first Taos drum phrase
sounds.

5. Do the same with Track Channel 8 to play a phrase on Tracks 7 and 8.

mics that’ve captured the room sound from the bass drum, snare and hi-hat.
To learn more about the phrase pads, see Chapter 21, “Using the Phrase Pads.”
Recalling Scenes
The VS-2480 can memorize up to 100 mix setups as “scenes.” Scenes allow you to:
• store and recall multiple versions of a mix.
• store and recall different versions of a project with different V-Tracks (Page 90).
“What You Don’t Know” contains some scenes that show off the way scenes work.
1. Press SCENE•BANK so it lights.
Scenes—like locators—are stored in banks of ten scenes each, numbered from 0-9.
Since Scene Bank 0 is already selected, we only need to enter each desired scene’s
second digit for the scenes in “What You Don’t Know.”
2. Press 1 on the keypad. Scene 01—Default Mix—loads the settings it contains.
3. Play “What You Don’t Know” to hear how it sounds in Scene 01.
4. Press STOP when you’re done and keep your eyes on the display.
In “What You Don’t Know,” Tracks 9 and 10 are linked (Page 152). When you play a
linked channel’s phrase pad, both tracks play. In this case, the stereo Taos drum on
Tracks 9 and 10 plays. Tracks 5 and 6, and Tracks 7 and 8 are also linked in this project.
The name of the current scene appears in the top right area of a connected Info Display.
You can recall scenes only while a project isn’t playing, so press STOP before
attempting to recall a scene.
