Controlling the VariOS from your
MIDI sequencer
When using the VariOS with your MIDI sequencer (ProTools, Logic,
Cubase, Digital Performer, etc.), you can set the VariOS's clock source to
"MIDI" so that the VariOS's internal tempo will synchronize to the tempo of
your MIDI sequencer.
1
Turn on the power of the VariOS, and load the samples that you want to
play (p. 121).
2
Set the VariOS clock source to "MIDI" (p. 106).
3
Start up your MIDI sequencer.
4
Send the MIDI clock of your MIDI sequencer to "Roland VariOS MIDI"
(the port of the VariOS sound generator section).
For details on MIDI clock settings in your software program, refer to the
explanation for each program in "Synchronization settings" (p. 126), but
read any references to "Roland VariOS Sync" as "Roland VariOS MIDI."
• ProTools (p. 128)
• Logic Audio (p. 128)
• Cubase VST (p. 129)
• Digital Performer (p. 130)
• SONAR 2.0 (p. 133)
Now the internal tempo of the VariOS will be synchronized with the tempo
of your MIDI sequencer.
5
Specify Roland VariOS MIDI (the port of the VariOS sound generator
section) as the output port for the tracks of your sequencer, so that it will
control the VariOS.
When you are using V-
Producer, V-Producer will
automatically set the clock
source to "MIDI."
