Chapter 22 Specific Applications
This chapter explains some additional ways to use the
VS-1680, including synchronizing two VS-1680s, as well as
synchronizing (“syncing”) a VS-1680 and a VS-880/880EX.
Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to begin each operation from the
Playlist display.
The following items will be used from the MIDI page of the
system section:
Device ID
This sets the Device ID number (1-32) used when
exchanging System Exclusive messages (mixer
parameters) with an external MIDI device. These
messages can be transmitted and received between
devices that have the same Device ID number.
MIDI Thru (MIDI Thru Switch)
This switches the function of the MIDI OUT/THRU
connector.
OUT:
The connector transmits MIDI messages such as
metronome note messages or MTC from the VS-1680.
THRU:
The connector transmits MIDI messages as received at
the MIDI IN connector without any changes.
SysEx.Rx (System Exclusive Receive Switch)
System Exclusive messages are received when this is set
to “On.” System Exclusive messages can be received
when the VS-1680 is in the Play mode.
SysEx.Tx (System Exclusive Transmit Switch)
System Exclusive messages are transmitted when this is
set to “On.”
Cntrl Local (Control Local Switch)
When this is set to “Off,” volume levels of mixer
channels cannot be changed using the physical faders on
the mixer. The physical mixer faders are disabled.
Normally, this setting is turned on.
MMC (MIDI Machine Control Mode)
This setting determines how the VS-1680 implements
MMC.
Off:
MMC is neither transmitted or received.
MASTER:
MMC is transmitted. The VS-1680 functions as the
master device for controlling the machine controls
(transport controls) of external MIDI equipment.
SLAVE:
MMC is received. The VS-1680 functions as a slave
device to the machine controls (transport controls) of
external MIDI equipment.
Control Type (Mixer Control Types)
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 now, leave this “Off.”
Off:
MIDI messages related to mixer settings are not
transmitted or received.
C.C.:
The mixer is controlled using Control Change
messages.
Excl:
The mixer is controlled using System Exclusive
messages.
* When “C.C.” or “Excl” is selected, mixer adjustments made
on the master VS-1680 will result in the same mixer settings
occurring on the slave VS-1680. For more detailed information
about System Exclusive messages, refer to “MIDI
Implementation” (Appendices, p. 25)
The following items will be used from the External Sync page
of the system section:
Sync Source
This determines how the VS-1680 is synchronized with
other devices.
INT:
The VS-1680 runs according to its own internal clock.
Use this setting when you are not synchronizing with
other devices or when you want external MIDI
devices to be controlled by sync signals from the
VS-1680.
EXT:
The VS-1680 is controlled by synchronization signals
(MTC) from the external MIDI device. With this
setting, the VS-1680 will not go into Play or Record
unless it is receiving MTC signals. Use this setting
when you want to use the MTC from an external
MIDI device to control the VS-1680.
Sync Gen. (Generator)
This setting determines what type of MIDI signal is
generated at the MIDI OUT connector on the VS-1680.
Off:
No MIDI signals are transmitted.
MTC:
MIDI Time Code is transmitted.
MIDIclk:
The Tempo Map MIDI Clock is transmitted.
