Vector and MIDI
TheVectorfeaturesinteractwithMIDIintwodifferent
ways:throughtheVectorJoystick,andthroughthe
VectorCCControl.
TheVec to rJoysticksendsandreceivestwoMIDI
controllers:onefortheXaxis,andtheotherfortheY
axis.InGlobalmode,youcanassignthesetoanyMIDI
CCnumbersyoulike.ThedefaultsareCC#118forthe
Xaxis,andCC#119fortheYaxis.
TheVectorJoystickanditsCCscontroltheVector
position,inconjunctionwiththeVectorEG.
TheVec t or CCControl,ontheotherhand,isgenerated
bytheVectorposition.Normally,thiswill
onlyaffect
internalsoundsandeffects.Ifyoulike,however,you
canalsoenableaGlobalparametertosendthese
generatedCCstoexternalMIDIdevices.
FormoreinformationonVectorSynthesis,see“1–5:
VectorControl”onpage 39oftheParameterGuide.
Effects
Effectsarecoveredintheirownsectionofthemanuals,
sowewon’tgointotoomuchdetailhere.Seethecross‐
referencesbelowformoreinformation.
Insert Effects
InsertEffectsletyousendeitherindividualOscillators
ortheentireProgramthroughupto12effects,in
series.Youcanuseanytypeofeffects,fromdistortions
andcompressorstochorusesandrev erbs.TheInsert
Effectscanberoutedtothemainoutputs,ortoanyof
theindividualoutputs.
Formoreinformation,see“Inserteffects”onpage 189.
Master Effects
TherearetwoMasterEffects,whichareaccessed
throughSends1and2.Thesearebest‐suitedtoeffects
suchasreverbsanddelays,butyoucanusethemwith
anytypeofeffect.
Formoreinformation,see“Mastereffects”on
page 190.
Total Effects
ThetwoTotalEffectsarededicatedtoprocessingthe
mainL/Routputs.They’reideallysuitedtooverallmix
effects,suchascompression,limiting,andEQ–butas
withtheothereffectssections,youcanuseanytypeof
effectthatyoulike.
