Remote functions
You can use the rear panel MIDI IN/OUT connectors to remotely
control the M-300 from an external device, or control an external
device from the M-300. You can use either MIDI or RS-232C, not
both. If you want to use MIDI, set the rear panel RS-232C/MIDI
select switch to the MIDI position.
Always make sure to switch off the M-300’s power before
you change the setting of the MIDI/RS-232C select switch.
MIDI can transmit and receive the following messages:
If you connect a V-LINK compatible video device such as the V-
440HD to the rear panel MIDI IN connector, you’ll be able to use
your video device to control the volume of specific channels.
The M-300 allows up to eight audio sources to be controlled via
V-LINK.
The following V-LINK compatible video devices can be connected
to the M-300:
• V-440HD (Ver. 2.07 or later)
• V-44SW (Ver. 1.07 or later)
• V-8
• LVS-800
• V-1600HD
In order to use V-LINK, the MIDI/RS-232C select switch of the M-
300 must be set to the MIDI position.
The M-300 can use MIDI and USB MIDI simultaneously. If the
same message is received via both MIDI and USB MIDI, the last-
received message will be used.
By connecting the rear panel USB port to a PC, you can use USB
MIDI to remotely control the M-300.
USB MIDI can transmit and receive the following messages:
You’ll need to install the USB MIDI driver on the PC that’s to be
connected to the M-300 using USB. Download the USB MIDI
driver from the Roland website below:
