Using your MIDI sequencer to play
data (SMF) created by V-Producer
Here’s how SMF data you’ve exported from V-Producer using the File -
Export SMF... command can be played on your MIDI sequencer (ProTools,
Logic, Cubase, Digital Performer, etc.).
■ Export SMF data
1
In V-Producer, execute File - Export SMF... to export the SMF data.
2
In the VariOS, save the samples that are used by the SMF (p. 114).
■ Load the SMF data into your MIDI sequencer
1
Turn on the power of the VariOS, and load the samples that are used by the
song that you exported as SMF data (p. 113).
2
Set the clock source of the VariOS to “MIDI” (p. 98).
3
Start up your sequencer, and load the SMF data that you created in V-
Producer.
4
Send the MIDI clock output of your MIDI sequencer to “Roland VariOS
MIDI” (the port of the VariOS sound generator section).
For details on MIDI clock settings for your software, refer to the explanation
for each program in
“Synchronization settings” (p. 118), but read any
references to “Roland VariOS Sync” as “Roland VariOS MIDI.”
• ProTools (p. 120)
• Logic Audio (p. 120)
• Cubase VST (p. 121)
• SONAR 2.0 (p. 122)
5
Specify Roland VariOS MIDI (the port of the VariOS sound generator
section) as the output port for the tracks used by the SMF data.
Please note that a song
saved in SMF format
cannot be re-loaded back
into V-Producer.
A song saved in SMF
format does not contain the
samples and setting data
for the sound module
(VariOS), so you will need
to save this data on the
VariOS itself.
While V-Producer is being
used, it will automatically
set the clock source to
“MIDI.”
