System Exclusive Messages (Fostex Exclusive)
You can control VM200 parameters in real time using System Exclu-
sive messages. For more information, see System Exclusive Parame-
ter Control on page 188.
If you want the VM200 to receive System Exclusive messages, turn on
the “System Exclusive TX & RX” parameter (described below).
The “DevID” (device ID) should match the number selected on the
external MIDI device.
System Exclusive TX & RX
This parameter determines whether or not the VM200 adjusts mix
parameters when System Exclusive messages are received, or
whether the VM200 transmits parameter settings in response to
Parameter Requests.
It also determines whether the VM200 transmits System Exclusive
messages on the “DevID” channel when mix parameters are adjusted,
or whether the VM200 transmits Parameter Requests on the “DevID”
channel.
You can set this parameter to “On” or “Off.” The default setting is
“Off.”
System Exclusive DevID
This parameter determines the ID number of the device to and from
which the VM200 transmits and receives System Exclusive messages.
You can set this parameter to 0 – 126. The default setting is “0.”
Bulk Dump
You can use the System Exclusive Bulk Dump to transfer VM200 data
(such as Scene Memory, EQ Library, Effects Library, and Setup data)
to another MIDI device.
This is useful for backing-up VM200 data to a MIDI data filer or com-
puter, or for exchanging data between VM200s.
Bulk RX
The Bulk RX parameter determines whether the VM200 receives MIDI
Bulk requests and MIDI Bulk Dump messages.
If you turn on the Bulk RX parameter, the VM200 transmits Bulk
Dump messages in response to Bulk Dump requests.
Bulk Dump messages and Bulk Dump requests are not echoed.
You can transmit Bulk Dump messages from the VM200 regardless of
this setting.
See “Bulk Dump” on page 189 for more information.
Note: Fostex does not guarantee compatibility of MIDI Bulk Dump mes-
sages between two VM200s with different software versions.
