Clocking Other MIDI Devices
As mentioned above, when operating from its internal clock, the VS transmits
MIDI clocks as it runs. (If it has been set to operate from an external clock,
it does not re-transmit this clock.) If the VS is to clock another MIDI device,
before starting the VS' arpeggiator, start the other instrument's arpeggiator
(sequencer, or whatever) .
Notes are accepted over MIDI, so make sure drum events are disabled on the
drum machine. (Refer to Sequential's MIDI CONTROL SUMMARY, document
number MIDI-5.)
When the arpgeggiator is switched o, this transmits a Stop message which
automatically will turn o the slave's arpeggiator (sequencer, etc.).
If the VS receives a MIDI Stop message, this turns o notes but leaves the
arpeggiator on so it can be restarted.
MIDI OPTIONS
The VS features many MIDI options which allow you to set it up for your
specic applications. These options (including the MIDI channel numbers) are
stored in non-volatile memory so that even if power is temporarily switched
o, their settings are remembered.
Receive Mode
The MIDI modes were discussed earlier. The VS handles the transmission of
MIDI data identically for all modes, so the only variable is the manner in which
it receives MIDI information. To select the desired mode:
1. Press MIDI Options Select until the bottom line of the LCD reads "RECEIVE
MODE".
2. Adjust the displayed mode with tine slider.
3. If desired, select and adjust other MIDI options (see below).
MIDI Wheels
The Mod wheel position or amount of pitch wheel bend may be enabled for
receiving, transmitting or both. To adjust:
1. Press MIDI Options Select until the top line of the LCD reads “MIDI WHEELS”.
2. Use the slider to select “DISABLED”, “TRANSMIT ONLY”, “RECEIVE ONLY”,
or “TRANSMIT + RECEIVE”.
Note: The range of transmitted pitch bend is set by the Pitch Wheel Range
control.
