Roland VS-880EX - Manual (Page 170)

Along with the functions or external devices explained in earlier chapters, this
chapter explains some actual ways and gives some tips in which the VS-880EX
can be used effectively. First press [PLAY (DISPLAY)], and begin each operation
from Play condition.
Synchronizing the Operations of Two VS-880EX Units
The VS-880EX is compatible with MMC. Here, we explain how the operation of
two VS-880EX units can be synchronized. One VS-880EX acts as the MMC/MTC
master, and the other acts as the MMC/MTC slave. Make connections as
described below.
MMC (Appendices p. 124)
* In this example, you can use the master’s Stereo In function for the mix balance
between the master and slave VS-880EXs (p. 152). First adjust the individual track
balances on both machines. Of course, you can also send the output of the master
and slave VS-880EXs to a separate mixer. However, the master and slave units can-
not be connected using digital connections.
Settings for the Master VS-880EX
1. Press [SYSTEM] several times until “SYS MIDI PRM ?” appears in the dis-
play.
2. Press [YES].
“SYS MID:DeviceID=” appears in the display.
3. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
DeviceID
This sets the Device ID number (1–32) that is used when exchanging exclusive
messages (mixer parameters) with an external MIDI device. Exclusive messages
can be transmitted and received between devices which have the same Device
ID number setting. Here, set this to “17.”
