Chapter 15 Using External MIDI Devices
Adjusting Effects
You can use MIDI Control Change messages transmitted
from an external MIDI controller to control effects.
1. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].
2. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)]. The System
menu icon appears in the display. If the System menu
icon does not appear, press [F6 (EXIT)].
3. Press [F4 (MIDI)]. If "MIDI" does not appear in the
display above [F4], press [PAGE] until "MIDI" appears,
and then press [F4 (MIDI)].
4. Use[

cursor to "Control Type" and use the TIME/VALUE dial
to select "C.C."
Control Type
This selects the type of MIDI messages that will be 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.
Off:
MIDI messages related to mixer operation are
not transmitted or received.
C.C.:
The mixer is controlled using Control Change
message.
Excl:
The mixer is controlled using Exclusive
messages.
5. Use[

cursor to "C.C.Eff," and use the TIME/VALUE dial to
select "On."
C.C.Eff (Control Change Effect)
With this set to "On," the effect is adjusted when control
change messages are received.
6. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.
* If you wish to use Control Change messages to edit effects, use
NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Numbers). For more

MIDI Machine Control
The VS-1824 supports MIDI Machine Control (MMC). This
means that when two VS-1824s are synchronized, or when a
VS-1824 is synchronized with a MIDI sequencer that also
implements MMC, operations such as Play, Stop, Fast
Forward, etc., can be accomplished by operating only the
Master device.
MMC messages include transport control functions and
location information, but not actual synchronization signals.
Synchronizing with MMC is done in a loop configuration,
with an MMC master device sending the command to start
the MMC slave device which, in turn, sends sync signal
(usually MTC or MIDI Clock) back to the MMC master
device. An MMC setup requires two-way MIDI
communication and the proper setting of the following
parameters on the VS-1824: Device ID, MIDI Out/Thru,
SysEx RX, SysEx Tx, MMC Mode (Master, Slave, or Off),
Sync Gen, and Internal Clock. For more information on these
settings, take a look at the synchronization example using
Cakewalk and the VS-1824 (p. 210).
