Receiving SysEx Bulk Dump Data
1. Using a MIDI cable, connect the VS-2000’s MIDI IN jack to the MIDI OUT of the
device from which you want to transmit the SysEx bulk dump.
2. Navigate to the MIDI PARAMETER screen (Page 283).
3. Press F5 (BlkDmp)—the MIDI BULK DUMP screen appears.
4. Press F2 (BULKRx) for “Bulk Receive.”
The VS-2000 tells you it’s awaiting the bulk dump data.
5. If you wish to cancel the operation at this point, press ENTER/YES.
6. When the data has been received, press ENTER/YES.
The VS-2000 asks if you wish to restore the data to its original scene, EZ Routing
template and/or user effect patch memory locations.
7. Press ENTER/YES to restore the data, or EXIT/NO to cancel the operation.
MIDI Metronome
In addition to its full-featured Rhythm Track, the VS-2000 provides an internal
metronome that allows you to create several types of simple reference rhythms during
recording and playback—see Page 384. The metronome can also send its MIDI notes to
an external MIDI sound module or keyboard, allowing you to use the module’s sounds
for your reference rhythm.
Setting Up a MIDI Metronome
1. Using a MIDI cable, connect the VS-2000’s MIDI OUT/THRU jack to the MIDI IN
jack of the device whose sounds you want to use as a metronome.
2. Navigate to the MIDI parameter screen (Page 283).
3. Set MIDI OUT/THRU to Out.
4. Press F6 (EXIT).
5. Press RHYTHM TRACK.
When you reload a scene, EZ Routing template or user effect patch, it’s restored to its
original memory location in the VS-2000, replacing anything that’s currently stored
there. Before receiving bulk dump data, make sure the memory locations you’ll be
loading data into don’t contain anything you want to keep—if they do, re-save their
current contents to new memory locations before proceeding.
Prepare the external MIDI device that’ll be producing your metronome sounds by
configuring it to receive data on a MIDI channel of your choice, and by selecting a
rhythm kit-type sound that plays a different percussion sound on each note.
