Using an External MIDI
Device to Adjust the Mixer
(Compu Mix)
The VS-1680 can send and receive mixer settings and
movements as MIDI messages. You can use an external MIDI
controller to control the VS-1680's faders, and by using a
MIDI sequencer to record mixer settings and movements
during playback as MIDI song data, the mixer can be
controlled automatically by the MIDI sequencer when the
song is played back. This is referred to as "Compu Mix."
Compu Mix uses either Control Change or System Exclusive
messages.
Chapter 15 Using External MIDI Devices
When Using System Exclusive Messages
When working with Compu Mix, you should use normal
Control Change messages. If the use of Control Change
messages would affect other MIDI devices in your setup,
you may use System Exclusive messages instead. For
more detailed information about Control Change
messages and System Exclusive messages, refer to
"MIDI Implementation" (Appendices, p. 25).
Correspondence Between MIDI Channels and
Controller Numbers
MIDI channels correspond to the mixer channels as shown
below. For channel pairs linked with the Stereo Link
function, the odd-numbered channel's MIDI channel is used.
Control Change messages transmitted via the even-
numbered channel's MIDI channel are ignored.
