the settings as shown below.
Master Clock
This is used to select the reference clock for the VS-
1680 operations. Here, set this to "DIGIN1" or
"DIGIN2."
DIGIN1: Based on the digital signal received at the
DIGITAL IN connector 1 (coaxial).
INT: Based on the VS-1680's internal clock.
DIGIN2: Based on the digital signal received at the
DIGITAL IN connector 2 (optical).
7. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].
Return to Play condition.
8. Make the settings for the VS-1680 by following the
procedure as described in "Recording Digital
Signals" (p. 74).
Under this condition, when playback is begun with
Cakewalk, MMC is transmitted to the VS-1680, and
upon receiving the MMC, the VS-1680 also begins
record. During playback, MTC is sent from the VS-
1680 to Cakewalk, thus synchronizing operations.
Using an External MIDI
Device to Adjust the Mixer
(Compu Mix)
The VS-1680 can send and receive the 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
later. This is referred to as Compu Mix. Compu Mix
uses Control Change messages and Exclusive mes-
sages.
This roughly describes how things proceed when per-
forming operations using Control Change messages.

When Using Exclusive Messages
When working in Compu Mix, you should use
normal Control Change messages. However, if
the use of Control Change messages would affect
other MIDI devices in your setup, you may use
System Exclusive message instead.
For more detailed information about Control
Change messages and Exclusive messages, please
refer to "MIDI Implementation" (Appendices p.
25).
The 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, Control Change messages can be
exchanged using the odd-numbered channel's MIDI
channel. Control Change messages transmitted via the
even-numbered channel's MIDI channel are ignored.
