Chapter 15 Using External MIDI Devices
Using MIDI Controller Messages
The VS-1680 can transmit its mixer settings and functions as MIDI messages, and MIDI messages from an external MIDI
controller can be used to control the VS-1680’s track status and mixer settings.
Switching Track Status
You can use MIDI Control Change messages to switch the status of each track. MIDI Channels 1-16 carry MIDI data to and from
Tracks 1-16 respectively. Use Controller # 3 to switch a track’s status. Depending on the value of Controller # 3, the track status
changes as shown below:
When stopped:
VALUE 0-31 32-63 64-95 96-127
STATUS Mute->Mute Mute->Play Mute->Rec Mute->Source
Play->Mute Play->Play Play->Rec Play->Source
Rec->Mute Rec->Play Rec->Rec Rec->Source
Source->Mute Source->Play Source->Rec Source->Source
During playback or recording:
VALUE 0-31 32-63 64-95 96-127
STATUS (*1) Mute->Play (*1) (*1)
Play->Mute Play->Play (*1) (*1)
(*1) (*1) Rec->Rec Rec->Source (*2)
Source->Mute (*1) Source->Rec (*2) Source->Source
(*1) Ignored
(*2) Cannot be switched while recording. “Source” here means “the status in which the track indicator blinks
alternately red and orange” and is only valid when Record Monitor is set to “Auto Punch” (p. 60)
