Using the VS-2400CD as a MIDI Control Surface
1. Using a MIDI cable, connect the VS-2400CD’s MIDI OUT/THRU jack to the MIDI
IN of the device you want to control from the VS-2400CD.
2. Navigate to the MIDI parameter screen (Page 285).
3. Set MIDI OUT/THRU to Out.
4. Press F6 (EXIT).
5. Press PAGE once.
6. Press F6 (V.FDR)—the first V.FADER/USER screen appears.
On the first two V.FADER/USER screens, you can select the Control Change
transmitted by the VS-2400CD when a fader is moved.
7. To move between the V.FADER/USER screens, press F1 (Param1), F2
(Param2) or F3 (Param3).
8. Press V.FADER to activate the V.Fader feature—the V.FADER button lights.
The VS-2400CD’s faders now transmit the selected Control Change
messages—their movements no longer affect VS-2400CD settings.
9. To exit V.Fader mode, press V.FADER—its indicator goes out, and the faders return
to normal operation.
Remote MIDI Control of the VS-2400CD
The VS-2400CD can be controlled from an external MIDI device. Three types of MIDI
messages can be used for this purpose. You can use:
• System Exclusive (“SysEx”) messages —that can control most VS-2400CD functions.
• Program Change and Bank Select messages — to select scenes and effect patches.
• Control Change messages —that adjust important input channel, track channel, FX
return channel, Aux bus, Direct path, MASTER bus and MONITOR bus
parameters. You also can adjust effect and other parameters using NRPNs.
For a list of the Control Change messages the V.Faders can send, see “V-Fader Control
Messages” on Page 465.
The various types of MIDI messages are described in the VS-2400CD Appendices . In the
Appendices , System Exclusive messages are called “Exclusive” messages.
When sending and receiving SysEx or Control Change messages that control the
VS-2400CD, take care to avoid MIDI loops. In a MIDI loop, the same MIDI messages
are sent and received by the connected devices over and over, spiraling into
nonsensical settings in either or both devices. In many sequencers, a Thru feature
passes MIDI data back to the device from which it came—this feature should be turned
off when working with VS-2400CD SysEx and Control Change messages.
