Sync Vs-880 To Drum Machine Or Midi Sequencer - Roland VXpanded VS-880 Application Manual

Sync VS-880 to Drum Machine or MIDI Sequencer

The VS-880 can easily synchronize with your drum machine or sequencer using Song Position Pointer.
SYNC:
If your sequencer does not support MIDI Time Code or MIDI Machine Control you must use MIDI Clock
to synchronize it with the VS-880. Connect the MIDI IN and OUT ports of the VS-880 to your MIDI
sequencer (or drum machine) as shown in the diagram below. For this setup, the VS-880 must be the
master. Make sure that the VS-880's sync source is set to internal. The VS-880 must be set to generate MIDI
Clock and the MIDI Thr must be set to Out. To respond, the MIDI sequencer (or drum machine) must be
set to MIDI Sync.
AUDIO:
Connect the audio outputs of your MIDI devices to the audio inputs of the VS-880. You can use the INPUT
MIX/TRACK MIX mode to mix the signals of your MIDI devices with your playback tracks. You can
record fader movements of the VS-880 to the MIDI sequencer. For mixdown, connect the digital out of the
VS-880 to your dat machine.
