MIDI Joystick
When enabled, the VS transmits joystick movement. When one VS is MIDI’d
to another, this ability is very useful. If, however, some other synthesizer is
being slaved to the VS, the joystick may need to be disabled over MIDI. (Some
instruments may use the same control numbers for other purposes.)
1. Press MIDI Options Select until the top line of the LCD reads “MIDI
JOYSTICK”.
2. Use the slider to select “DISABLED”, “TRANSMIT ONLY”, “RECEIVE ONLY”,
or “TRANSMIT + RECEIVE”.
If the VS is in Split or Double keyboard mode, and the left and right channels
dier, then received joystick information can aect the main and linked
programs independently.
In Mode 4, each voice responds to joystick information individually, unless the
data is received as “global control” information on the channel immediately
below the left or right channel.
MIDI Parameters
All of the VS’ parameters may be adjusted over MIDI, just as they are from the
front panel. Similarly, the VS can transmit front panel control adjustments to
another VS or MIDI-equipped computer. Because these parameters are rarely
changed over MIDI, and to avoid possible confusion —should the VS receive
parameter change messages from an instrument other than another VS— MIDI
parameters are always disabled on power-up. (Full details on addressing the
parameters appear later in this section.)
1. Press MIDI Options Select until the top line of the LCD reads “MIDI
PARAMETERS”.
2. Use the slider to select “DISABLED”, “TRANSMIT ONLY”, “RECEIVE ONLY”,
or “TRANSMIT + RECEIVE”.
When enabled, the VS transmits parameter changes whenever a parameter
is adjusted from the front panel. Parameter changes only aect the main
program. The linked program’s parameters are unaected.
