24—MIDI and Synchronization

304 www.rolandus.com Roland VS-2480 Owner’s Manual

To enable Control Change reception on the VS-2480:

1. Using a MIDI cable, connect the VS-2480’s MIDI IN jack to the external device’s
MIDI OUT jack.
2. Navigate to the MIDI parameter screen (Page 299).
3. Set MIXER CONTROL TYPE to C.C. (“Control Change”).
4. If you want to edit effects using NRPNs, turn on the EFFECT C.C. Rx Sw (“EFFECT
Control Change Receive Switch”) parameter.

Remote MIDI Storage of VS-2480 Settings

You can transmit scenes, EZ Routing templates and user effect patches from the
VS-2480 as SysEx bulk dump data that can be stored in an external MIDI storage
device—or a sequencer—and loaded back into the VS-2480 at a later time. The
VS-2480’s bulk dump operations are performed on its MIDI BULK DUMP screen.

Sending SysEx Bulk Dump Data

1. Using a MIDI cable, connect the VS-2480’s MIDI OUT/THRU jack to the device to
which you want to transmit the SysEx bulk dump.
2. Navigate to the MIDI PARAMETER screen ((Page 299).
3. Set MIDI OUT/THRU to Out.
4. Press F5 (BlkDmp)—the MIDI BULK DUMP screen appears.
When you bulk-dump data from the VS-2480, all data selected for transmission on
this screen is included in the dump. Therefore, you’ll need to select what you want
to transmit in the dump. The screen is divided into three parts: SCENE, EZR Usr
TMplt (“EZ Routing User Templates”) and Usr FX (“User Effect Patches”). Each
section has a BULK Tx (“Bulk Transmit”) Sw on/off parameter, and a BULK Tx
TARGET (“Bulk Transmission Target”) parameter.
5. To include scene data in the dump, turn on the SCENE section’s BULK Tx Sw.
6. Set the SCENE section’s BULK Tx TARGET parameter to:
•

ALL

—to include all of the current project’s scenes in the dump.
•

(Scene XX)

—to select a single scene to dump.
Bulk-dumping scene, EZ Routing or effect patch data doesn’t remove it from the
VS-2480’s memory. It merely allows you to store a copy of the data externally.
In order to transmit MIDI bulk dump data, the SysEx. Tx Sw parameter on the MIDI
PARAMETER screen (Page 299) must be turned on. To receive bulk dump data, the
SysEx. Rx Sw parameter on the same screen must also be turned on.
To ensure the successful re-loading of bulk dump data, read “A Note About SysEx ID
Numbers” on Page 300.
