Remote Control of the VS-2400CD with Control Change Messages

You can set a variety of VS-2400CD parameters from a remote MIDI device by sending
the VS-2400CD Control Change messages. These include:
•
•
You can also send the VS-2400CD Control Change messages to set its hard disk
recorder's TRACK STATUS buttons.
Certain important parameters have their own Control Change numbers. You can set
one of these parameters by simply sending the VS-2400CD the desired value for the
parameter's Control Change number. For a list of the MIDI channels used by the input,
track, FX return channels and Master Edit area—as well as charts of Control Change
numbers and the parameters they set—see "MIDI Channels and Control Change
Maps" on Page 462.
Other parameters—such as effect parameters—can be adjusted using NRPNs, a special
category of Control Change messages. For details on using NRPNs for editing effects
and other parameters, see the MIDI Implementation section of the VS-2400CD
Appendices.
When you adjust these parameters on the VS-2400CD itself, the VS-2400CD can
transmit Control Change values that can be recorded in an external MIDI device and
then sent back to the VS-2400CD as desired.
To enable Control Change transmission on the VS-2400CD:
1. Using a MIDI cable, connect the VS-2400CD's MIDI OUT/THRU jack to the
2. Navigate to the MIDI parameter screen (Page 285).
3. Set MIDI OUT/THRU to Out.
4. Set MIXER CONTROL TYPE to C.C. ("Control Change").
