The VS-1880 can transfer and receive the internal parameters information using system
exclusive messages, and also can be controlled by the external devices using system
exclusive messages.
The VS-1880 can transmit and receive Universal System Exclusive messages, Data
Request(RQ1) and Data set(DS1) as the System Exclusive message.
❍About Model ID
The Model ID of the VS-1880 is 00H,2AH as for Data Request (RQ1) and Data set(DT1).
The VS-1880 also can transfer and receive 00H,0EH to be compatible with the VS-1680.
The model ID of Data Request (RQ1) and Data set (DT1) is according to the value of
SYSTEM parameter "MIDI Model ID."
❍About Device ID
System Exclusive messages are not assigned to any particular MIDI channel.
Instead, they have their own special control parameter called device ID.
The Roland system exclusive messages use device IDs to specify multiple VS-1880 units.
The VS-1880 sends system exclusive messages using 00H - 1FH, and receives the system
exclusive messages whose device ID is same as its device ID and 7FH.
The value of the device ID is the value set on the SYSTEM parameter "Device ID" minus
one.
