using a standard MIDI cable.

the only LED lit on the LED ladder.

the TRANSPOSITION LED light up. If it does, the V256 is receiving MIDI messages
correctly, if not, check that the MIDI master is set to Channel 16.
7. Now change the MODE setting to the one you would like to use, play the keyboard and
sing into the microphone, the MIDI controller should now be controlling the pitch of the
effect.
