Changing Effect Patches via MIDI
You can remotely select effect patches by sending the VS-2480 the appropriate Bank
Select and Program Change messages on the effect’s MIDI channel. Effects 1-8 respond
to messages received on MIDI Channels 1-8, respectively.
Remote Control of the VS-2480 with Control Change Messages
You can set a variety of VS-2480 parameters from a remote MIDI device by sending the
VS-2480 Control Change messages. These include:
• input, track, FX return channel parameters • Aux and Direct bus parameters
• MASTER and MONITOR bus parameters • effect parameters
You can also send the VS-2480 Control Change messages to set its hard disk recorder’s
TRACK STATUS buttons.
Certain important parameters have their own Control Change numbers. You can set
one of these parameters by simply sending the VS-2480 the desired value for the
parameter’s Control Change number. For a list of the MIDI channels used by the input,
track, FX return channels and Master Edit area—as well as charts of Control Change
numbers and the parameters they set—see “MIDI Channels and Control Change
Maps” on Page 406.
Other parameters—such as effect parameters—can be adjusted using NRPNs, a special
category of Control Change messages. For details on using NRPNs for editing effects
and other parameters, see the MIDI Implementation section of the
VS-2480 Appendices
.
When you adjust these parameters on the VS-2480 itself, the VS-2480 can transmit
Control Change values that can be recorded in an external MIDI device and then sent
back to the VS-2480 as desired.
To enable Control Change transmission on the VS-2480:
1. Using a MIDI cable, connect the VS-2480’s MIDI OUT/THRU jack to the external
device’s MIDI IN jack.
2. Navigate to the MIDI parameter screen (Page 299).
3. Set MIDI OUT/THRU to Out.
4. Set MIXER CONTROL TYPE to C.C. (“Control Change”).

You can change effect patches using program changes sent to the VS-2480 when the
hard disk recorder is playing, recording or stopped.
