Exchanging MIDI Messages with Your Computer

What is the USB MIDI Driver?
fig.11-12e(MidiDriver)
The USB MIDI Driver is a software which
passes data between the VC-1 and the
application (sequencer software, UniQuest
editor, etc.) that is running on the USB-
connected computer.
The USB MIDI Driver sends data from the
application to the VC-1, and passes data
from the VC-1 to the application.
In order to use the VC-1 as a USB MIDI device from your computer, you must first install the USB MIDI
driver. The USB MIDI driver is on the "VariOS Driver CD-ROM." (NOT VC-1 CD-ROM!)
The correct driver and the installation procedure will depend on your system and on the other programs
you are using. Be sure to read the VariOS User Guide before installation.
* The most recent version of the USB-MIDI driver can be downloaded from the Roland Website;
