Description
Sets the channel on which the VP4 will receive MIDI messages.
"OMNI" causes the unit to respond to incoming messages on all channels.
This enables or disables MIDI thru, which causes messages received at the MIDI In port to be merged with any internally generated
MIDI data at the MIDI Out port.
Determines whether the VP4 will process or ignore incoming MIDI Program Change messages.
Determines whether or not the VP4 will automatically transmit a MIDI Program Change message at its MIDI OUT port when a new
preset is loaded. This is the easiest way for most people to operate a single connected MIDI device while changing presets on the
FM3. Any custom MIDI mapping is left to the downstream device. To use this feature you simply select which channel you want the
message to be transmitted on. The "OMNI" setting transmits the message on all channels.
This setting determines whether the VP4 should re-process or ignore a Program Change message that corresponding to the current
preset. With this setting "OFF", a preset will be reloaded—all changes discarded—when it is selected again via PC. This allows you,
for instance, to load a preset, use footswitches to toggle effects, and then reload the preset to have it revert to its saved state.
These parameters specify the initial value to be used for each of the External Controllers (p. 43) when the VP4 is powered on.
This value persists until data is received from a MIDI controller. This is especially useful when an external MIDI controller is absent.
For example, if you normally use a MIDI expression pedal to control the volume in your presets, a missing controller might make the
preset get "stuck" in a muted position. Setting an initial value of 100% for the External Controller mapped to that MIDI pedal would
ensure that when the pedal is not connected, the volume will stay at 100% instead of 0%.
This setting is only for controllers with a MIDI CC# assignment. It does not apply to locally connected pedals or switches.
