Chapter 2 Basic Operation

The TIME / VALUE dial

Use the TIME/VALUE dial to change a value on the display.

Turning the TIME/VALUE dial counterclockwise decreases

a value; turning it clockwise increases it. Value changes are

usually in single increment steps. If you hold SHIFT and turn

the dial, values will increase or decrease by ten times (or one

tenth) the normal rate, depending on the parameter.

fig.02-06

Most value changes can be made while the VS-1680 is

playing. However, you must first press [STOP] before

changing V-Tracks and before changing mixer Scenes.

[ENTER/YES]

The [ENTER (YES)] button is used to respond to an onscreen

prompt. For example, if “Store Current?” is displayed, you

can press [ENTER (YES)] to save your song in its current

state. On some screens, [ENTER (YES)] will be blinking. In

that case, pressing [ENTER (YES)] will allow you to view

more information than is presently shown on the display. For

example, when making changes to the EQ of a track, press

the blinking [ENTER (YES)] button to see the pop-up EQ

curve. To cancel the operation, press [NO].

[PLAY (DISPLAY)]

Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the startup playlist

display. Anytime you are in the middle of making a setting,

and you want to get back to the startup screen, just press

[PLAY (DISPLAY)]. It also helps to think of [PLAY

(DISPLAY)] as an “escape” button.

Setting the Internal Clock

The VS-1680 features an internal clock. When you record a

performance, a time stamp consisting of the time, day, and

month of recording is entered automatically. This allows you

to organize recordings by day, time, and order. Use the

following procedure to set the time and date in your VS-1680.

* The internal clock is battery-powered. Once you set this, the

values are remembered each time you turn the VS-1680 off.

However, if for any reason the time setting is in error, use the

same steps to reset the clock.

Hold [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)]. The System

menu icon appears. If the System menu icon does not

appear, press [F6 (EXIT)].

Press [F2 (DATE)]. If “DATE” does not appear above

[F2], first press [PAGE] until “DATE” appears above

[F2], then press [F2 (DATE)].

Press [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the

cursor and use the TIME / VALUE dial to change the

values for each setting.
