Chapter 22 Specific Applications
This chapter explains some additional ways to use the
VS-1824, including synchronizing two VS-1824s, a VS-1824
and VS-1680, as well as synchronizing ("syncing") a VS-1824
and a VS-880 or a VSR-880. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to begin
each operation from the Playlist display.
The following items will be used from the MIDI page of the
system section:
Device ID
This sets the Device ID number (1-32) used when exchanging
System Exclusive messages (mixer parameters) with an
external MIDI device. These messages can be transmitted
and received between devices that have the same Device ID
number.
MIDI Thru (MIDI Thru Switch)
This switches the function of the MIDI OUT/THRU connector.
OUT:
The connector transmits MIDI messages such as
metronome note messages or MTC from the VS-1824.
THRU:
The connector transmits MIDI messages as received at
the MIDI IN connector without any changes.
SysEx.Rx (System Exclusive Receive Switch)
System Exclusive messages are received when this is set to
"On." System Exclusive messages can be received when the
VS-1824 is in the Play mode.
SysEx.Tx (System Exclusive Transmit Switch)
System Exclusive messages are transmitted when this is set
to "On."
Cntrl Local (Control Local Switch)
When this is set to "Off," volume levels of mixer channels
cannot be changed using the physical faders on the mixer.
The physical mixer faders are disabled. Normally, this
setting is turned on.
MMC (MIDI Machine Control Mode)
This setting determines how the VS-1824 implements MMC.
Off:
MMC is neither transmitted or received.
MASTER:
MMC is transmitted. The VS-1824 functions as the
master device for controlling the machine controls
(transport controls) of external MIDI equipment.
SLAVE:
MMC is received. The VS-1824 functions as a slave
device to the machine controls (transport controls) of
external MIDI equipment.
Control Type (Mixer Control Types)
This selects the type of MIDI messages 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. For now, leave this "Off."
Off:
MIDI messages related to mixer settings are not
transmitted or received.
C.C.:
The mixer is controlled using Control Change messages.
Excl:
The mixer is controlled using System Exclusive
messages.
* When "C.C." or "Excl" is selected, mixer adjustments made
on the master VS-1824 will result in the same mixer settings
occurring on the slave VS-1824. For more detailed information
about System Exclusive messages, refer to "MIDI
Implementation" (Appendices p. 82)
The following items will be used from the External Sync page
of the system section:
Sync Source
This determines how the VS-1824 is synchronized with other
devices.
INT:
The VS-1824 runs according to its own internal clock.
Use this setting when you are not synchronizing with
other devices or when you want external MIDI devices
to be controlled by sync signals from the VS-1824.
EXT:
The VS-1824 is controlled by synchronization signals
(MTC) from the external MIDI device. With this setting,
the VS-1824 will not go into Play or Record unless it is
receiving MTC signals. Use this setting when you want
to use the MTC from an external MIDI device to control
the VS-1824.
Sync Gen. (Generator)
This setting determines what type of MIDI signal is
generated at the MIDI OUT connector on the VS-1824.
Off:
No MIDI signals are transmitted.
MTC:
MIDI Time Code is transmitted.
MIDIclk: The Tempo Map MIDI Clock is transmitted.
SyncTr: The Sync Track MIDI Clock is transmitted.
Sync Error Level
This sets the interval (0-10) for checking MTC receiving
status when synchronizing to MTC from an external
MIDI device. If MTC is not being sent continuously, the
VS-1824 checks the MTC and if there is an error,
temporarily cancels synchronization. Selecting a longer
interval under such circumstances will allow
synchronization to continue, even if errors are present.
Normally, this is set to "5."
Sync MTC Type (MTC Type)
This selects the type of MTC (30, 29N, 29D, 25, or 24). Set
this to conform to the type of MTC on the slave VS-1824.
