NOV 27, 2024​

NEW FEATURES & UPDATES​

• NEW! VP4 Custom Scene MIDI - Each scene within every preset can be configured to send up to four MIDI messages — either Program Change (PC) or Control Change (CC)—to external MIDI devices. This feature enables seamless integration with other MIDI-compatible equipment, allowing for automated changes when switching scenes. To set up Scene MIDI messages:
  • Open the Scene MIDI page - From Home, press PAGE RIGHT 6x.
• The Scene MIDI page shows four scenes, each with four slots for MIDI messages.
• Turn SELECT to the desired Scene and message slot.
• Use Knob B to select the message type (PC for Program Change or CC#0-127 for Control Change).
• Use Knob C to choose the MIDI channel (1–16) on which the message will be sent.
• Use Knob D to set the specific value for the PC or CC message.
• Press ENTER on the selected row to test a single MIDI message.
• Switch to Scene Mode and use the footswitches to test all four messages for any scene.
• After configuring Scene MIDI, save the preset to retain your settings.
• When a new preset loads, the MIDI payload for the default scene is sent automatically.

Note: Scene MIDI is sent only to the physical MIDI Out port. It is not echoed to USB MIDI.
