Behringer Car Amplifier V-Amp3 Manuel D’Utilisation

V-AMP3 User Manual

The MIDI standard (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) was developed in the 

early ‘80s to enable different makes of electronic instruments to communicate 

with each other. Over the years, the range of MIDI applications has constantly 

expanded, and today it is standard practice to network entire recording studios 

using the MIDI standard. The heart of such a network is a computer with 

sequencer software that controls not only all the keyboards but also affects other 

peripheral devices. In such a studio setup you can control the V-AMP 3 in real 

time from a computer. For live performances in particular, you can also use a MIDI 

foot controller to control both effect parameters and preset changes. 
The MIDI connectors are international-standard 5-pin DIN connectors. To connect 

your device to other MIDI equipment you will need dedicated MIDI cables. 

They are commercially available in various standard lengths.
MIDI IN: This receives MIDI controller data. The receiving channel can be 

adjusted in EDIT mode by pressing the A button and then using the arrow keys.
MIDI OUT/THRU: This sends data to a computer or any other device. You can 

transmit both preset data and parameter changes. If set to MIDI THRU, 

the V-AMP 3 does not send its own MIDI information, but passes on the signal 

received at the MIDI IN connector. The TAP LED lights when the V-AMP 3 is set to 

MIDI THRU (see the Edit mode section for details). 

The V-AMP 3 can receive system-exclusive data from other MIDI devices 

provided that the MIDI function (button A) has been activated in EDIT mode. 

However, this means that all presets on your device will be overwritten 

automatically. You can also transmit MIDI data from your V-AMP 3 to other 

devices (total dump) by switching to EDIT mode and holding the MIDI button (A) 

until the display reads “d.”  The total dump function can be useful for transferring 

all the stored data from your device to a MIDI sequencer and storing it there.
To exchange individual presets with other devices, such as another V-AMP 3 

or a PC: 

Switch the transmitting V-AMP 3 to EDIT mode by pressing the BANK UP and 

DOWN buttons simultaneously.
Activate the MIDI function and briefly tap the MIDI button. The preset data is 

transmitted and first filed in the temporary buffer of the receiving V-AMP 3. 
Store the new information in the preset position of your choice using the 

store function.
