MMC (MIDI Machine Control) Send

MMC is an abbreviation for MIDI Machine Control. You can control MMC-compatible recorders from the VM200 by sending MIDI Machine Control (MMC) commands.

In MMC Send mode, the VM200’s [ON] keys 1 through 8 function as the transport keys, store, recall keys for locate memories.

You can use the [EQ EDIT] keys and [SOLO] keys to locate sixteen definable locate points (LOCATE 1–16).

While you hold down the [ENTER] key, the [SOLO] keys function as the record track select keys. MMC commands are transmitted via MIDI.
