Feature Reference
2: MIDI Setting
Transmit Channel
1 ... 16.
Selects the MIDI channel via which all VL1-m data will be transmitted.

Receive Channel

1 ... 16, Omni.
Sets the MIDI receive channel to any channel between 1 and 16, or the "Omni"
mode for reception on all channels. Make sure that the VL1-m MIDI receive channel is
either set to the channel that your external controller is transmitting on, or the omni
mode.
Local on/off
off, on.
"Local control" refers to the fact that, normally, a breath controller plugged into the
BREATH jack controls the VL1-m internal tone generator. This situation is "local control
on" since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by the locally-connected breath
controller. Local control can be turned off, however, so that the breath controller does not
affect the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the
MIDI OUT connector. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI
information received via the MIDI IN connector.
Device Number
off, 1 ... 16, All.
Sets the MIDI device number — i.e. the MIDI channel on which all system exclu-
sive data (included in MIDI bulk dump data) will be received and transmitted. When
"All" is selected reception occurs on all channels and transmission occurs via Device
Number 1.
The device number is important for transfer of voice data and other system exclu-
sive data between the VL1-m and other MIDI devices — e.g. VL1, another VL1-m, a
computer, or a MIDI data recorder. Make sure that the VL1-m device number is matched
to that of other devices in your system with which such data transfers will take place.
Utility Mode
154
