Fostex VM200 manual Motorized Faders

Motorized Faders

If you have set the Program Change/Tx parameter to On, the VM200 transmits a Program Change message each time you recall a scene. (The Program Change/Tx parameter appears on the Setup: MIDI 1:MIDI TX&RX function page. See “Program Change Messages” on page 177 for more information.) Using this capability, you can recall programs on other MIDI equipment, such as a tone program on a syn- thesizer. You can record transmission of Program Change messages from the VM200 to a MIDI sequencer to later automate mix scene changes. Refer to the “Using Program Change Messages to Recall Scenes” on page 180 for more information.
