Input and Output

Parameter/
Range Explanation

USB IN

This sets the point at which digital audio signals received via USB
(from your computer) are connected within the VB-99.

* Do not connect at a point before the point set with the USB OUT
parameter. For more on the connection points, refer to

“Signal Flow”

(p. 15).
* If the USB IN parameter is set to COSM BASS A, COSM BASS B, or
NORMAL PU, the setting automatically changes to MAIN & SUB the
next time the VB-99 is powered up. If you plan to use COSM BASS A,
COSM BASS B, or NORMAL PU, make the setting each time you
turn on the power to the VB-99.

OFF The signals are not connected at any point.
COSM BASS A The signals are connected at the point where
the COSM BASS A is output.
The audio output from the computer, in-
stead of the COSM bass sounds played by
the connected bass, is input to the effects.
* POLY FX are not applied.
