Chapter 15 Using External MIDI Devices
Chapter 15
Preparations for Compu Mix
1. Make connections as shown below:
fig.13-07
2. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)]. The System
menu icon appears in the display. If the System menu
icon does not appear, press [F6 (EXIT)].
3. Press [F4 (MIDI)]. If “MIDI” does not appear in the
display above [F4], press [PAGE] until “MIDI” appears,
and then press [F4 (MIDI)].
4. Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the
cursor and the TIME/VALUE dial to change the settings.
MIDI Thru
This switches the function of the MIDI OUT/THRU
connector. For this application, use “OUT.”
Cntrl Local (Control Local Switch)
When this is set to “Off,” actual volume levels remain
unchanged even when the faders on the VS-1680 are
moved. Normally, this is set to “On.” For this
application, set the Control Local switch to “On.”
Control Type (Mixer Control Type)
This selects the type of MIDI messages used when
transmitting mixer settings to an external MIDI device,
or when MIDI messages from an external MIDI device
are used to control the mixer. For this application, set
this to “C.C.”
Off:
MIDI messages related to mixer operations are not
transmitted or received.
C.C.:
The mixer is controlled using Control Change
messages.
Excl:
The mixer is controlled using System Exclusive
messages.
5. Following the procedure as described in "Synchronizing
with MIDI Sequencers" (p. 189), make the necessary
settings in both the VS-1680 and the MIDI sequencer to
synchronize the two machines. Set the MIDI sequencer
so that messages received at the MIDI In connector are
not output from the MIDI Out connector.
Recording with Compu Mix
1. Prepare the VS-1680’s mixer settings (faders, panning,
etc.) as desired.
2. Put the MIDI sequencer in Record mode, and begin
playback of the VS-1680.
3. When playback begins, immediately hold [SHIFT] and
press [SCENE]. The mixer’s initial state is transmitted
from the MIDI Out connector.
4. As you listen to the song, make adjustments to the faders
and other controls as needed.
5. When the song is finished, stop the MIDI sequencer and
the VS-1680.
This completes the Compu Mix procedure. Save the MIDI
song data to a floppy disk or other storage media. When you
go back to the beginning of the MIDI song data and the VS-
1680 song, and begin playback on the VS-1680, the mixer is
controlled according to the Compu Mix data.
To Have Fader Movements Ignored
When playing back songs using Compu Mix, you may want
the actual volume levels to remain unchanged even when the
faders on the VS-1680 are moved. In such instances, use the
following procedure.
1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)]. The System
menu icon appears in the display. If the System menu
icon does not appear, press [F6 (EXIT)].
2. Press [F4 (MIDI)]. If “MIDI” does not appear in the
display above [F4], press [PAGE] until “MIDI” appears,
and then press [F4 (MIDI)].
