Setting The Midi Device Number; Checking The Number Of Track Events - Fostex VF160EX Operation Manual

The "Setting the MIDI device number" menu enables you to set the VF160EX device ID number required to control the
VF160EX from a sequence software using MMC (MIDI Machine Control).
The transmit device ID links to this setting. You can set the device ID from 00 to 99.
However, if the device ID number of the message the VF160EX receives is [7F], the VF160EX will recognizes it to
perform the corresponding operation, regardless of its device ID setting.
• Initial setting: "00"
• Options: "00" ~ "99"
* You can set the mode for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the
song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the
power to the VF160EX.
1. Select "Device ID" in the menu selection display and
press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The presently device number will be flash.
"00" will flash in the initial setup.
Checking the number of track events ["Number Of Event"]
The "Checking the number of track events" menu enables you to check the number of events on each track.
Each track (including Additional tracks) of VF160EX Programs consists of consecutive audio files (and "zero"
files). The number of events represents the total number of audio files and 0 files. Each track can contain up to
512 events.
If you are editing a song of typical length (about six minutes), repeated editing operation does not usually exceed
this maximum number. (Exceeding this limit is called "event number overflow.") Even a 20-minute song will not
cause event number overflow. This is because the recorder system always optimizes the data structure by
keeping the number of events low. However, if a recording on a track is scattered in different areas of the disk,
or if you have made a very long recording on a single track and performed many edits, you should be wary of
"event number overflow." To avoid this problem, use the "Checking the number of track events" menu to check
the number of events on each track prior to recording or editing.
1. Select "Number of Event" in the menu a selection display
and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
It will change to the "Event" second level and the event
number currently in each track will be displayed (The
symbol indicates there is data below). *** is the event
number.
