Creating/Editing Patches (Patch mode)

Equal Temperament

This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is the most widely used method of temperament used in Western music. The VC-2 employs equal temperament when the Scale Tune Switch is set to “OFF.”

Just Temperament (Tonic of C)

Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads sound pure in this tuning. However, this effect is achieved only in one key, and the triads will become ambiguous if you transpose.

Arabian Scale

In this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower and C#, F# and G# are a quarter-note higher compared to equal temperament. The intervals between G and B, C and E, F and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb and F# have a natural third- the interval between a major third and a minor third. On the VC-2, you can use Arabian temperament in the three keys of G, C and F.

Transmitting Data to an External MIDI Device (Data Transfer)

Patch, setup and system settings will be transmitted to an external MIDI device. This operation is called bulk dump. Use this operation when you want to connect another VC-2 (V- Synth XT) and play it using the same settings, or to save your data on an external MIDI device as a precaution against

possible loss of sound data or system settings.

To transmit data to an external MIDI device, connect the external MIDI device and V-Synth XT as shown in the diagram.

1.Touch <▼MENU> in the upper right of the screen.

A pulldown menu appears.

2.In the pulldown menu, touch <Data Transfer>.

The Data Transfer window appears.

3.In “Source,” select the type of data that you want to transmit.

<ALL>: Patch, setup, mic setting, system

<SETUP+MIC Sets>: Setup and mic setting

<SYSTEM>: System

<PATCH>: Patch

If you selected <PATCH>, specify the patch that is to be sent.

<WORK>: Transmit user patches.

Use the “FROM” - “TO” fields to specify the range of patch numbers (U001-U448) that will be transmit.

<TEMP>: Transmit patch from the temporary area.
