The Rhythm Track and MIDI
Playing External Rhythm Track Sounds

jack of your MIDI device.
2. Turn on both devices.
3. Press RHYTHM TRACK.
4. Set RHYTHM TRACK MIDI CHANNEL TX (“RX” is short for “receive”) to the MIDI
channel on which your MIDI keyboard is set to receive.
Each Rhythm Track note sends a MIDI note numbers as follows:
5. Set up your MIDI device to play in response to the above received MIDI notes.
6. Turn on the Rhythm Track, as described in Page 307, and play the project.
Entering Rhythm Pattern Notes Via MIDI
When recording a pattern in realtime (Page 315), you can play the desired notes from a
MIDI keyboard controller instead of on the TRACK/STATUS buttons. To set this up:
1. With both devices turned off, connect the MIDI out of your MIDI keyboard
controller to the VS-2000’s MIDI IN jack using a MIDI cable.
2. Turn on both devices.
3. Press RHYTHM TRACK.
4. Set RHYTHM TRACK MIDI CHANNEL RX (“RX” is short for “receive”) to the
MIDI channel on which your MIDI keyboard is transmitting.
The TRACK/STATUS buttons are played by the following keys on a MIDI keyboard.
