Setting Up a MIDI Metronome
1. Using a MIDI cable, connect the VS-2480’s MIDI OUT/THRU jack to the MIDI IN
jack of the device whose sounds you want to use as a metronome.
2. Navigate to the MIDI parameter screen (Page 299).
3. Set MIDI OUT/THRU to Out.
4. Press F6 (EXIT).
5. Press PAGE once.
6. Press F2 (Metro)—the METRONOME screen appears.
7. Set METRONOME OUT to MIDI.
8. Set METRONOME MIDI Ch to the MIDI channel on which the external MIDI
device is set to receive data.
The metronome can play two types of notes. It can play:
•
accent notes
—that signify the start of each measure to help you keep track of
where you are.
•
normal notes
—that play on each measures’ other beats. This note typically has a
lower pitch than the accent note.
9. Select the desired accent note on your external MIDI device by setting ACCENT
NOTE to its MIDI note number.
10. Select the desired normal note by selecting its MIDI note number for the NORMAL
NOTE parameter.
It’s customary for the accent note to be somewhat louder than the normal notes—
this loudness is determined by the note’s MIDI velocity value.
11. Once you’ve had a chance to hear your MIDI metronome, you may want to adjust
the ACCENT VELOCITY and NORMAL VELOCITY parameters to set a pleasing
volume balance between the two types of notes.
Prepare the external MIDI device that’ll be producing your metronome sounds by
configuring it to receive data on a MIDI channel of your choice, and by selecting a
rhythm kit-type sound that plays a different percussion sound on each note.
