Setting the MIDI device number [“Device ID”]
Using the "Device ID" menu item, you can set a device ID of the VF80EX. which is needed for controlling the
VF80EX from a sequencer software application, etc. via MMC (MIDI Machine Control).
Note that the transmitting device ID of the VF80EX follows this setting. You can set a desired device ID
between 00 and 99.
When the VF80EX receives a message for device ID [7F], the VF80EX recognizes the message and reacts to it
regardless of the "Device ID" setting.
• Default: 00
• Available device IDs: 00 through 99

indicates that invisible information exists under the
screen. In the screen example below, "***" shows the
number of events.
You can scroll the list to see the number of events on
each track (1 through 24) by rotating the [JOG] dial.
Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or the [STOP] key) repeat-
edly until the VF80EX exits the SETUP mode.
From the "Number Of Event" menu item, you can check the number of events for each track.
A program on the VF80EX consists of "audio files" and "silent (0) files" for tracks (including additional tracks).
Each audio or silent file is called an "event". This menu item shows the number of events on each track, which
is, in other words, the total number of audio and additional files on each track. As described earlier, the
VF80EX can manage up to 512 events per track on each program, which is enough in most cases even if you
make very complicated editing (also remember that the VF80EX optimization function helps reducing the
number of events). However, when you use the "24-hour recording" capability of the VF80EX and carry out a
large number of recording and editing operations, you should mind the number of events does not exceed
512. In such a case, we recommend to check the number of events for each track using the "Number Of Event"
menu item before recording or editing.
See "Event" on page 11 for details about audio files and events.
