MIDIThr (MIDI Thru Switch)
This switches the function of the MIDI OUT/THRU
connector. For now, set this to “Out.”
Out: The connector transmits MIDI message such as
metronome Note messages or MTC from the
VS-880EX.
Thru: MIDI messages received at the MIDI IN con-
nector are retransmitted from the connector
without any changes.
6. Press PARAMETER [ ] several times until
“SYS MID:CtrLocal=” appears in the display.
7. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
CtrLocal (Control Local Switch)
When this is set to “Off,” actual volume levels remain
unchanged even when the faders on the top panel are
moved (fader movements have no effect). Normally,
this is set to “On.” At this time, set the Control Local
switch to “On.”
8. Press PARAMETER [ ].
“SYS MID:CtrType=” appears in the display.
9. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
CtrType (Mixer Control Type)
This selects the type of MIDI messages that will be
used when transmitting mixer settings to an external
MIDI device, or when MIDI messages from an exter-
nal MIDI device are used to control the mixer. At this
time, set this to “C.C..”
Off: MIDI messages related to mixer operation are
not transmitted or received.
C.C.: The mixer is controlled using Control Change
messages.
Excl: The mixer is controlled using Exclusive mes-
sages.
10. Follow the procedure as described in
“Synchronizing with MIDI Sequencers” (p. 116),
make the necessary settings in both the VS-880EX
and the MIDI sequencer to synchronize the two
machines. In addition, make sure to set the MIDI
sequencer so that MIDI messages received at the
MIDI In connector are not output from the MIDI
OUT connector.
