Recalling Mix Scenes Using MIDI Program Change Messages

You can use MIDI Program Change messages to recall scenes for snapshot-style mix automation.

You can transmit Program Change messages from a computer, MIDI sequencer, or MIDI keyboard. Most MIDI keyboards transmit a Pro- gram Change message when a voice is selected. You can use this message to recall a scene on the VM200. Using this technique, the synthesizer and VM200 can be reconfigured instantaneously.

To recall scene memories using MIDI Program Change messages, do the following:

1.Connect the VM200 to MIDI equipment capable of transmit- ting Program Change messages.

See “Connecting MIDI devices” on page 175 for more information.

2.Configure the VM200 to receive MIDI Program Change mes- sages.

See “Program Change Messages” on page 177 for more informa- tion.

3.Assign Program Change messages to scene memories.

See “Program Change To Scene Memory Assignment Tables” on page 210 for more information.
