Creating/Editing Patches (Patch mode)
Patch, setup and system settings will be transmitted to an
external MIDI device. This operation is called bulk dump. Use
this operation when you want to connect another VC-2 (V-
Synth XT) and play it using the same settings, or to save your
data on an external MIDI device as a precaution against
possible loss of sound data or system settings.
To transmit data to an external MIDI device, connect the
external MIDI device and V-Synth XT as shown in the
diagram.

Transmitting Data to an External
MIDI Device (Data Transfer)
Equal Temperament
This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is
the most widely used method of temperament used in
Western music. The VC-2 employs equal temperament
when the Scale Tune Switch is set to “OFF.”
Just Temperament (Tonic of C)
Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads
sound pure in this tuning. However, this effect is
achieved only in one key, and the triads will become
ambiguous if you transpose.
Arabian Scale
In this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower and C#, F#
and G# are a quarter-note higher compared to equal
temperament. The intervals between G and B, C and E, F
and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb and F# have a natural third-
the interval between a major third and a minor third. On
the VC-2, you can use Arabian temperament in the three
keys of G, C and F.
