INTERNAL
The VB-99 operates independently.

USB. However, operations are automatically synchronized to
the VB-99’s internal Clock if the VB-99 is unable to receive the
external Clock.
AUTO (MIDI)
The VB-99 is synchronized to the MIDI Clock received via
MIDI. However, operations are automatically synchronized to
the VB-99’s internal Clock if the VB-99 is unable to receive the
external Clock.
AUTO (RRC2)
The VB-99 is synchronized to the MIDI Clock received via
RRC2. However, operations are automatically synchronized to
the VB-99’s internal Clock if the VB-99 is unable to receive the
external Clock.
The VB-99 can convert performance data to MIDI Note and Bend
messages and output these messages. Using this function allows you
to record performances to sequencers and play sounds through
external sequencer sound modules.
The BASS TO MIDI function features system parameters, whose
settings affect the overall functionality of the device, and patch
parameters, which are set on an individual patch basis.
The Channel-A COSM BASS settings (PITCH SHIFT,
HARMO, and BEND) and the D Beam and ribbon
controller settings (T-ARM) affect the pitch (MIDI note
messages) output with Bass to MIDI. Channel B COSM
BASS settings are not affected.
* If the pitch (MIDI note messages) output with Bass to MIDI
becomes too low (or too high) because of the effects of the Channel A
COSM BASS settings, the pitch is automatically shifted one octave
higher (or lower).
