Master Clock
This is used to select the reference clock for the VS-880EX operations. Here, set
this to “DIGIN1” or “DIGIN2.”
DIGIN1: Based on the digital signal received at the DIGITAL IN connector
(coaxial).
INT: Based on the VS-880EX’s internal clock.
DIGIN2: Based on the digital signal received at the DIGITAL IN connector
(optical).
8. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].
Return to Play condition.
9. Make the settings for the VS-880EX by following the procedure as described
in “Recording Digital Signals” (p. 55).
Under this condition, when playback is begun with Cakewalk, MMC is
transmitted to the VS-880EX, and upon receiving the MMC, the VS-880EX
also begins record. During playback, MTC is sent from the VS-880EX to
Cakewalk, thus synchronizing operations.
Using an External MIDI Device to Adjust the Mixer (Compu Mix)
The VS-880EX can send and receive the mixer settings and movements as MIDI
messages. You can use an external MIDI controller to control the VS-880EX’s
faders, and by using a MIDI sequencer to record mixer settings and movements
during playback as MIDI song data, the mixer can be controlled automatically
by the MIDI sequencer when the song is played back later. This is referred to as
Compu Mix. Compu Mix uses Control Change messages and Exclusive mes-
sages.
This roughly describes how things proceed when performing operations using
Control Change messages. For more detailed information, please read the appro-
priate pages.
When Using Exclusive Messages
When working in Compu Mix, you should use normal Control Change mes-
sages. However, if the use of Control Change messages would affect other
MIDI devices in your setup, you may use System Exclusive message instead.
For more detailed information about Control Change messages and
Exclusive messages, please refer to “MIDI Implementation” (Appendices p.
74).
