To USB MIDI
USB cable
If you are using sequencer software on your computer, and your
sequencer software’s MIDI Thru function is enabled, change the
following Function mode parameters as follows.
• Set “Local Control” to OFF (it will be ON when the power is turned
on)
• Set “USB MIDI Thru Switch” to ON (factory setting is OFF)
VR-700
Computer
You can use a USB cable (sold separately) to connect the VR-700 to
your computer.
If the VR-700 is connected to a computer in which sequencer
software is installed, the playback from the software can be
sounded by the VR-700, and your performance on the VR-700 can
be recorded by your software.
* If your sequencer software’s MIDI Thru function is not enabled,
there’s no need to change these settings.
* The “Local Control” setting is not remembered by the VR-700. It will
be ON when you turn on the power.
* If “Sub Keyboard Function” (p. 57) is set to Upper (or Lower), MIDI
messages received at the MIDI IN connector will automatically be
converted to the MIDI channel specified by “Upper Organ MIDI
Channel” (or “Lower Organ MIDI Channel”). The routing will be the
same as for the MIDI PEDAL IN connector (p. 65).
