Switching Scenes

You can switch Scenes with MIDI Program Change messages sent by the external MIDI controller.

During Playback of a Song

Scenes cannot be switched during playback of a song. Because of this, the VS-880EX stops momen- tarily if it receives a program change message during playback instructing it to change scenes. While it is stopped, the scene is switched, and then playback resumes.

Furthermore, during recording, only effect pro- gram change messages can be received. Scenes cannot be switched during recording.
