MIDI Control Surface
When the VS-2400CD's V.Fader feature is active, you can use each channel strip's fader
to send MIDI Control Change messages to an external MIDI device. This can be
especially handy when you're using the VS-2400CD with a MIDI sequencer. You can use
the mixer to work the sequencer's controls directly from the VS-2400CD. See
"V.Fader—The VS-2400CD MIDI Control Surface" on Page 286 to learn more about
using the mixer as a MIDI control surface.
