Chapter 4: Library Mode & Host Control
56
The Blue and Green buttons have special funtions in
Host Control Mode. Press Blue to send this Sys Ex
message to the Host:
F0 00 01 58 03 F7
You can assign this message to any host action by using
the "learn" function of the host software. Press the
Green button to send:
F0 00 01 58 04 F7
This can also be learned by the host software.
Hold down the Green button for 2 seconds to exit Host
control mode and return to Playlist mode (or Library
mode if no presets are marked as favorites.
Using Organ Mode During Host Control
Organ mode sets key triggering early in the keystroke
so the VAX77 plays more like a console organ. This
feature is normally assigned to a particular MIDI
channel, but since Host Control dictates the active
channel, a different method for activating Organ Mode
is required.
When creating organ presets in the host software, use
an asterisk as the first character in the preset name to
activate Organ Mode. For example, when a preset
named *Jazz_B3 is selected, the VAX77 will instantly
activate Organ Mode. When a preset is subsequently
loaded that does not begin with an asterisk, Organ
Mode is turned off. Holding the Green button to exit
Host Control Mode also turns off Organ Mode.
