Hey, guys. . . This isn't a bug. I ran into it, too, the first time I tried syncing my sequencer up with the VS, and numerous others have posted frantic pleas for help to this list for the same problem. What's happening is that your VS is transmitting MIDI control messages to your sequencer via the VS's MIDI Out -- this is the default, and you need to go into the MIDI parameter controls on the VS to change it. Press the System button until "MIDI PRM?" is displayed, then press YES. Scroll through the pages 'til you get to "MID:CtrType=", and set it to OFF. Your problem will be fixed. JP
That was it!! Right, now I got it: the VS uses control change (C.C.) messages to control external mixers. So, if the MID:Ctr.Type is set to On, C.C., then the VS will send those messages, when its faders are moved, changing the connected sequencer's tracks levels.
