Roland VS-1824 用户手册

Chapter 1

The digital mixer specifies input or output status of the 
recorder section.

The VS-1824’s mixers include the Input Mixer—which, in the 
signal path, is situated before the recording section—the 
Track Mixer, placed after the recording section, and the 
Master Block, which is used for determining which jacks and 
connectors output the signals from each of the other mixers.

On the VS-1824, signals flow through busses. Busses are 
shared pathways through which multiple signals can be sent 
to various tracks or channels. It may be easier to understand 
this if we use the analogy of water pipes.

For example, the water that is supplied by the water 
company to your house is branched to a variety of locations 
within the house (kitchen, bathroom, etc.). The water that is 
used at each of these locations is then collected and carried 
away.

If we think of the VS-1824 as the house, the water being 
supplied from the water company corresponds to inputs 
such as mic or guitar. Some of these inputs are sent to 
recording tracks and are recorded. Other portions are sent to 
the effects, and reverb or chorus are applied before they are 
output.

The basic principle of the VS-1824 is that by specifying from 
where—and to where—the common lines run, you can 
determine which signals will be recorded on which track or 
sent to which effects, and to where they will be output.

Signals assigned to the RECORDING bus are routed to the 
recorder section to be recorded. The RECORDING bus has 
eight channels to which you can assign any output of the 
Input Mixer, Track Mixer, and effects (effect return). Signals 
assigned to the RECORDING bus cannot be routed to the 
MIX bus.

Signals assigned to the MIX bus are sent to the MASTER 
jacks for monitoring. It has two channels (L and R), and can 
take output signals from the Input Mixer, Track Mixer, and 
effects (effect return). Signals assigned to the MIX bus cannot 
be routed to the RECORDING bus.

Signals assigned to the EFFECT bus are sent to the VS8F-2 in 
order to add effects to them. The EFFECT bus has four 
channels—FX1 L/R, FX2 L/R—and can process signals from 
the Input Mixer and the Track Mixer. Signals assigned to the 
RECORDING bus, as well as the MIX bus, can also be routed 
to the EFFECT bus.

Signals assigned to the AUX bus are routed to the AUX jacks 
to provide addition mixes for monitoring. This bus features 
six channels (AUX1 L/R, AUX2 L/R, AUX3 L/R), and can 
take signals from the Input Mixer and the Track Mixer. 
Signals assigned to the RECORDING bus as well as the MIX 
bus can also be routed to the AUX bus. This is convenient if, 
for example, you want to connect an external effects device, 
or when you want an additional output separate from that of 
the MASTER Out jacks (an individual out).

If the VS-1824 contains two VS8F-2s, AUX bus (AUX1 L/
R, AUX2 L/R) serves as EFFECT bus (FX3 L/R, FX4 L/R).
