Chapter 6 Using MIDI
1. Follow Steps 1–3 in “Setting the MIDI-Related
Functions” (p. 58) to display the MIDI screen.
2. Press PAGE [ ] to display Page 1.
3. Use [F6] (SELECT) or the F6 knob to select the
synchronizing signal.
This specifies the setting to be stored as the SYNC CLOCK
setting.
• INTERNAL
The VG-99 operates independently.
• AUTO (USB)
The VG-99 is synchronized to the MIDI Clock received via
USB. However, operations are automatically synchronized to
the VG-99’s internal Clock if the VG-99 is unable to receive the
external Clock.
• AUTO (MIDI)
The VG-99 is synchronized to the MIDI Clock received via
MIDI. However, operations are automatically synchronized to
the VG-99’s internal Clock if the VG-99 is unable to receive the
external Clock.
• AUTO (RRC2)
The VG-99 is synchronized to the MIDI Clock received via
RRC2. However, operations are automatically synchronized to
the VG-99’s internal Clock if the VG-99 is unable to receive the
external Clock.
The VG-99 can convert performance data to MIDI Note and Bend
messages and output these messages. Using this function allows you
to record performances to sequencers and play sounds through
external sequencer sound modules.
The GUITAR TO MIDI function features system parameters, whose
settings affect the overall functionality of the device, and patch
parameters, which are set on an individual patch basis.
Pitches output with GUITAR TO MIDI (the MIDI Note
messages) are affected by the Channel A Alternate
Tuning settings (TUNING, BEND, HARMO) and the D
Beam/ribbon controller settings (T-ARM).
* The Channel B Alternate Tuning settings have no bearing on these
output pitches.
* If the pitch output with GUITAR TO MIDI (the MIDI Note
messages) is excessively low (or high) due to the influence of the
Channel A Alternate Tuning settings, the pitch is then
automatically set one octave higher (or lower).
These procedures are used for making settings for the device as a
whole. Changes are saved at the same time they are changed. The
Write procedure is not required.
After entering these parameters, press [EXIT] several times to return
to the Play screen.
Switching the GUITAR TO MIDI
Function On and Off
