Remote Control of the VS-2400CD with SysEx Messages
You can control the VS-2400CD using SysEx messages in either of two ways.
Create SysEx Messages Manually
You can manually program the SysEx messages in an external MIDI device for
transmission to the VS-2400CD. This method requires an in-depth understanding of
MIDI programming—see the
VS-2400CD Appendices
for details.
Capture and Return SysEx Messages
Every VS-2400CD button-press, knob turn, fader move and so on can generate a SysEx
message that you can transmit from the VS-2400CD’s MIDI OUT/THRU connector. This
data can be captured by an external MIDI recording device and transmitted back to the
VS-2400CD. When you’re using the VS-2400CD with a sequencer—as described later in
this chapter—the sequencer can record any actions you perform on the VS-2400CD,
going beyond even the extensive automation capabilities of the VS-2400CD’s Automix
feature. When the sequencer plays back, your moves are faithfully reproduced.
To transmit SysEx data from the VS-2400CD:
1. Using a MIDI cable, connect the VS-2400CD’s MIDI OUT/THRU jack to the MIDI
IN jack of the device in which you want to capture the VS-2400CD’s SysEx data.
1. Navigate to the MIDI parameter screen (Page 285).
2. Set MIDI OUT/THRU to Out.
3. Turn on the SysEx. Tx Sw (“SysEx Transmit Switch”)—this determines whether or
not SysEx data is transmitted from the VS-2400CD as you operate its controls.
4. MIXER CONTROL TYPE sets the type of messages generated by the VS-2400CD’s
controls. Set it to Excl so that the VS-2400CD generates SysEx messages.
Every move you make on the VS-2400CD produces a SysEx message that’s
transmitted from the MIDI OUT/THRU jack to the external MIDI device.
To receive SysEx Data from an external MIDI device:
1. Using a MIDI cable, connect the VS-2400CD MIDI IN jack to the MIDI OUT jack of
the device from which you want to receive SysEx data.
2. Navigate to the MIDI parameter screen (Page 285).
3. Turn on SysEx. Rx Sw so that the VS-2400CD responds to received SysEx data.
Changing Scenes via MIDI
You can send the VS-2400CD Program Change values on MIDI Channel 16 to recall
scenes in the current project. Program Change Numbers 00-99 recall Scenes 00-99.
You can also store VS-2400CD settings in an external MIDI device using the
VS-2400CD’s SysEx bulk dump capabilities—see Page 290.
You can record the SysEx data on a track in a sequencer you’re synchronizing with the
VS-2400CD, as discussed later in this chapter.
The VS-2400CD can’t switch scenes while its hard disk recorder is playing back. When it
receives a Program Change on MIDI Channel 16 during playback, playback pauses, the
requested scene is recalled, and playback then resumes.
Received Program Changes on MIDI Channel 16 are ignored during recording.
