XONE VF-1 User Guide 25
Mode 1 : XONE:92 Controller Mode
Connect the MIDI output of an Allen & Heath XONE:92 DJ Mixer to
the MIDI input of the VF-1 and enable this option. The rear-panel
Local OFF switch should be pressed in to allow the VF-1 to
receive MIDI messages. It is also important to set the MIDI
channel of the VF-1 to the same channel used by the XONE:92.
See your XONE:92 users guide for information on its MIDI channel
assignment. With this mode enabled some of the XONE:92
controls can now be used to alter the filter settings on the VF-1.
Mode 2 : Keyboard Tracking Mode
With this mode enabled, the VCF Frequency will follow the pitch of
key presses on a MIDI keyboard connected to the VF-1 MIDI
Input. For this to work correctly the VF-1 and the keyboard must
be set to use the same MIDI Channel. With the band-pass filter
selected its centre frequency will be approximately 1 octave above
the corresponding note on the keyboard.
Mode 3 : Keyboard Mute Mode
When enabled, this mode causes a key press on an a connected
MIDI keyboard to switch the filter type to the last setting used. On
releasing all keys on the keyboard the sound will be muted (by
deselecting all filter types). By combining MODE 1 and MODE 2
the VF-1 filter will pick out only the frequencies around the note
you press on the keyboard. Try experimenting with this on music
or synthesiser sounds to get an idea of the range of effects
possible.
Selecting the MIDI In Modes
1. Hold down the Filter ON button whilst switching on the power
to the XONE VF-1. All three of the Filter Type indicators will light.
2. Release the Filter ON button. The current mode settings will be
displayed on the three Filter Type indicator lights (see table).
Press the Filter Type buttons to toggle each mode on or off.
3. To store the mode settings and return to normal operation
press the Filter ON button again.
