VM200 User’s Guide
Using the VM200 with MIDI
Using MIDI with the VM200 enables you to take fullest advantage of
all the VM200’s capabilities.
You can send MIDI Program Change messages to recall scenes from
Scene Memory, or send MIDI Control Change messages to enable
real-time parameter control. Fostex System Exclusive messages sim-
ilarly enable additional parameter control.
To backup and transfer data between two VM200s, you can use Sys-
tem Exclusive Bulk Dump commands.
If a recorder is connected to the VM200, you can control it remotely
via MIDI Machine Control (MMC).
You can also cascade multiple VM200s via MIDI connections and
remotely operate the VM200 via MIDI Local Control.
MIDI Ports
The VM200 has standard MIDI IN, MIDI OUT, and MIDI THRU ports
on the rear panel.
The MIDI IN port receives MIDI messages.
The MIDI OUT port transmits MIDI messages.
The MIDI THRU ports transmits the exact same MIDI messages
received at the MIDI IN port.
In addition to various MIDI instruments and devices, you can connect
a personal computer to the MIDI ports using a MIDI interface.
