dgh1952 dgh1952 Planeteer Registered: 04/03/02 Posts: 132	Thanks for the reply. I'm going to use it with the latest version of Reaper on Mac. Is the dll in Reaper or do I have to get it? Happy Holiday, Dan

fngrstck1 fngrstck1 Planeteer Registered: 10/24/06 Posts: 235 Loc: Cleveland	http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=41391&highlight=Roland+vs2480 Sadly its only 32 bit pc. http://www.rolandvs2480.net/manuals-guides/PDF-Manuals-Guides.htm Read up on the control surfaces. You can set up logic on mac, but other than that, your on own. With three kids I jumped off the technology train staying with win 7 32bit. Happy Holidays to you too.

dkfackler dkfackler Planeteer Registered: 04/24/06 Posts: 706 Loc: Coventry, OH, planet Thulcandr...	Dan: I use an SI-24 for control. It uses the same control overlay as the 2480. I have a customized keymap for the SI-24 in which many of the 24's buttons have been reassigned to operate REAPER actions. It "should" work with the 2480. PM if you would like a copy of the keymap file and a photo of the labeled buttons. DK

COCKOS Quote: In order to do this you need to create a user control surface template in the control surface menu on the VS. Set the USR template to the below values: Edited by C Jo GoCrystal Studios* (12/28/16 10:31 PM)* _________________________ Pretend creates an endless dream ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡° )

fngrstck1 fngrstck1 Planeteer Registered: 10/24/06 Posts: 235 Loc: Cleveland	Yes C JO. You have to setup the midi. It's pretty simple really. You drag a dll into the proper reaper folder, Go into reaper preferences, add a control surface and set the 2480 up.

fngrstck1 fngrstck1 Planeteer Registered: 10/24/06 Posts: 235 Loc: Cleveland	I'll have to look tonight for the folder name. MAKE SURE WINDOWS IS 32 BIT OR ITS USELESS. If it is you just have to copy the dll in the folder(i'll try to edit this tonight when I know) and within the user control surface in the roland, set these up. I promise you its really simple. Then obviously you have to plug in the roland to an available midi port or sound device you have on the pc.

Jacksn Jacksn Space Cadet Registered: 08/19/12 Posts: 17 Loc: GA, USA	Does anyone know how to get this to work with the VS-2400CD? In the 2400 we have a "V-Fader" option, but not "Control Surface". Has anyone had any success getting the 2400 working with Reaper for control surface purposes? I'm using a V-Fire via MIDI, etc. Does anyone have the details of the configuration of the VS & Reaper for this? Thanks.
