Chapter 8 Other Functions

The sensitivity of the D Beam controller can vary depending on the
amount of light in the vicinity of the controller and the object (e.g.,
hand, guitar neck) used to operate it. Perform this adjustment so you
can control the tone in the intended range.

Set the beam’s responsive range as you
actually operate the D Beam controller.

First, hold the object you will use to activate the controller (your
hand, guitar neck, etc.) at the point farthest from the VG-99 in
the range you want the controller to respond, and press [F1]
(SetMIN).
Next, hold the object at the closest point in the range you want
the controller to respond, and press [F4] (SetMAX).

6.

Press [EXIT] several times to return to the Play
screen.

The D Beam controller’s response may also vary with the stage
lighting used. Confirm operation of the controller by testing it
onstage under the actual illumination.
If the set range is too narrow or if the positioning is not suitable,
the message “OUT OF RANGE! SET AGAIN.” appears. To keep
this message from appearing, change the range or position and
recalibrate.
The controller may not function properly with spot lights or
other such lighting shining directly on it.
Be sure to adjust the CALIBRATION directly above the D Beam
controller.
When the message “MISSING THE TARGET!” appears, it
indicates that the calibration is not being performed correctly.
The CALIBRATION setting is a system parameter, so the Write
procedure is not required.
