Roland VB-99 User Manual

 

Vibrato, slides, and other such data in bass performances are output 
as Pitch Bend messages. For this reason, the receiving MIDI device 
may encounter problems with operation when Pitch Bend messages 
containing large amounts of data are included.

You can use the BEND THIN function to thin out the Pitch Bend 
messages and control the volume of MIDI data.

Follow Steps 1–2 in “Selecting the Controller 
Used to Control the Hold Function (HOLD 
CTL)” (p. 59) to display the BASS TO MIDI 
screen.

 

Select OFF when you do not want to reduce the amount of 
data transmitted in the Pitch Bend messages.

 

This sets the MIDI channel used for output of string performance 
data from the VB-99.

Set the MIDI channels according to the POLY/MONO mode as 
shown below.

• When set to POLY mode

The performance data for all of the strings is transmitted over 
the basic channel.

• When set to MONO mode

Hi C string: Transmitted over the basic channel.

1st string: Transmitted over the channel number one higher 
than the basic channel.

:

Low B string: Transmitted over the channel number five 
higher than the basic channel.

 

 

 

You can prevent transmission of Program Change messages that can 
be set in 

 

Follow Steps 1–2 in “Selecting the Controller 
Used to Control the Hold Function (HOLD 
CTL)” (p. 59) to display the BASS TO MIDI 
screen.

 

When PC MASK is set to ON, the Program Change messages 
set with the PC parameter (p. 64) in BASS TO MIDI are not 
transmitted.
