MIDI Input Jack
The V256 has a standard 5 pin MIDI input jack. You can play the V256’s internal synthesizers
using a MIDI keyboard or sequencer. Out of the INST output jack, the internal synthesizers
will be heard the same way an instrument input will be heard. If the INST output jack has
the blend set 100% dry, only the dry internal synthesizer, “played” by a MIDI controller, will
be heard. If the INST output jack has the blend set at noon, a mix of the dry MIDI controlle d
internal synth and the wet vocoded effect will be heard. With the INST output jack at 100%
wet, the dry MIDI controlled internal synth will no longer be heard, only the vocoded effect
will be heard.
Additionally the V256 can receive control messages from a MIDI controller or other MIDI
device so that every function in the V256 is MIDI controllable. Below is a list of the MIDI
control parameters. The default setting for the V256 from the factory is OMNI OFF, set to
channel 16.
