Using Midi Controller Messages; Switching Track Status - Roland VS-1680 User Manual

Chapter 15 Using External MIDI Devices

Using MIDI Controller Messages

The VS-1680 can transmit its mixer settings and functions as MIDI messages, and MIDI messages from an external MIDI
controller can be used to control the VS-1680's track status and mixer settings.

Switching Track Status

You can use MIDI Control Change messages to switch the status of each track. MIDI Channels 1-16 carry MIDI data to and from
Tracks 1-16 respectively. Use Controller # 3 to switch a track's status. Depending on the value of Controller # 3, the track status
changes as shown below:
When stopped:
VALUE
STATUS
During playback or recording:
VALUE
STATUS
(*1) Ignored
(*2) Cannot be switched while recording. "Source" here means "the status in which the track indicator blinks
alternately red and orange" and is only valid when Record Monitor is set to "Auto Punch" (p. 60)
