in your mixer or stage amp. If you hear distortion in the output, however, you should try
lowering the output gain to see if this resolves the problem.
3.7.1.3
Menu – MIDI Options
The
MIDI
options
offer
the
following
possibilities:
●
Send Program Change. This can be set to "to Preset, then Plugins" or "to Plugins Only".
By
sending
MIDI
Bank
Select
and
program
change
messages
from
a
connected
MIDI
controller,
you
can
change
the
current
Bank
and
Preset
of
the
V-‐Machine.
This
can
be
handy
if
the
V-‐Machine
is
being
controlled
by
a
sequencer,
or
is
not
within
reach
to
click
the
keypad
buttons
manually.
Please
refer
to
your
MIDI
controller’s
manual
for
information
on
how
to
transmit
MIDI
Bank
Select
and
program
change
messages.
If
set
to
"to
Preset,
then
Plugins":
Bank
and
program
change
messages
will
change
the
active
VFX
bank
and
preset
if
they
come
in
on
a
channel
accepted
by
the
VFX
mixer.
A
bank
change
will
only
be
confirmed
if
followed
by
a
program
change.
If
the
VFX
mixer
does
not
receive
the
message,
then
it
will
be
forwarded
to
all
loaded
plugins.
If
there
is
only
one
VFX
preset
in
the
active
VFX
bank,
then
the
program
change
will
be
sent
to
the
first
plugin
in
that
preset.
If set to "to Plugins Only": All bank and program change messages will be sent to all
plugins
that
are
receiving
on
the
channel
of
the
bank
or
program
change
message.
Bank
and
program
change
messages
will
never
change
the
active
VFX
bank
or
preset.
●
Program
Change
Delay.
This
parameter
can
be
set
to
Never
Change,
Immediate,
or
a
time
value
between
0.1
and
7.0
seconds.
If
it’s
set
to
Never
Change,
program
change
messages
will
be
ignored,
even
though
they
have
been
given
a
destination
by
the
Send
Program
Change
parameter.
If
Program
Change
Delay
is
set
to
Immediate,
program
changes
will
be
responded
to
instantly.
Setting
a
delay
time
is
equivalent
to
calling
up
a
new
Preset
and
then
waiting
a
few
seconds
before
you
press
the
Load
button.
A
delay
time
can
be
useful
if
you
have
to
make
several
changes
in
your
equipment
setup
quickly
between
songs.
●
Parameter
Feedback.
The
V-‐Machine’s
parameter
feedback
can
be
turned
on
or
off.
Parameter
feedback
is
especially
useful
when
using
external
motorized
MIDI
controllers,
or
controllers
whose
knobs
are
ringed
by
lighted
LEDs.
Motorized
faders
and
LED-‐encoded
pots
need
to
update
to
the
correct
positions
when
Presets
are
changed
on
the
V-‐Machine.
For
this
function
to
work,
you’ll
need
to
do
three
things.
First,
you’ll
need
to
be
using
a
controller
that
has
motorized
faders
or
LED-‐ringed
knobs,
so
that
it
can
respond
to
the
V-‐Machine’s
MIDI
output.
Second,
this
controller
will
need
to
be
connected
to
the
V-‐Machine
using
USB,
because
the
V-‐Machine’s
MIDI
output
is
sent
via
USB.
Third,
you’ll
need
to
use
the
V-‐Machine’s
MIDI
Learn
feature
(see
section
3.7.3,
page
38)
to
create
a
linkage
between
specific
parameters
and
specific
controller
messages.
Once
the
linkages
have
been
created
and
saved
to
the
Preset,
each
time
the
Preset
is
loaded,
the
values
of
the
linked
parameters
will
be
sent
to
the
V-‐Machine’s
USB
MIDI output. Assuming your hardware controller’s knobs and faders respond to the
