24—MIDI and Synchronization
This chapter discusses the VS-2480’s MIDI capabilities. The VS-2480 can:
• act as a MIDI control surface that lets you manipulate parameters in an external
MIDI device.
• be operated remotely from an external MIDI device.
• transmit its internal settings via MIDI to an external MIDI storage device.
We’ll discuss the related topic of synchronization in the chapter’s second half,
explaining how to successfully sync the VS-2480 with external devices such as MIDI
sequencers, video editing systems and other analog and digital recorders.
MIDI Operations
The VS-2480 boasts a wide range of MIDI features that enhance its interaction with
other MIDI devices in your system. We’ll begin by discussing the basics of how MIDI
