a fader’s all the way down, or the TIME/VALUE dial’s turned all the way counter-
clockwise
—the lowest possible values are transmitted.
•
a fader’s all the way up, or the TIME/VALUE dial’s turned all the way clockwise
—the
highest possible values are transmitted.
Since the buttons, knobs and faders operate differently, here’s how to take fullest
advantage of each:
•
When you want to simply switch something on or off in the external device you’re
controlling from the VS-2480CD, do it with a button or a PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knob.
•
When you want to adjust something continuously over its range of possible
values—volume, pan or filter settings, for example—control it using a fader.

The CONTROL TYPE column shows the type of MIDI controller to be
transmitted when you press, turn or move each button, knob or fader,
respectively.
•
The Val column shows the value of the selected MIDI controller to be
transmitted from the VS-2480CD.
For the sake of simplicity, when we refer to faders in the following sections, we’re also
including the TIME/VALUE dial, whose settings appear on the same screen as the
faders’.
Turn the TIME/
VALUE dial to scroll
up or down the list
of buttons, knobs or
faders.
