Displaying Measures and Beats
If both the metronome is being used and MIDI clock
messages are being transmitted, the measure and beat
of the song can be displayed in the graphic display.
When you are running in synchronization with an
external device or recording a song along with a previ-
ously-created tempo map, this allows you to operate
the VS-1680 just as though you were operating a MIDI
sequencer. Set the metronome to sound as described in
“Sounding the Metronome” (p. 167).
1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)].
The System menu icon is displayed. If the System
menu icon does not appear, then press [F6 (EXIT)].
2. Press [F2 (GLOBL)]. If “GLOBL” does not appear
in [F2], first press [PAGE] until “GLOBL” is dis-
played, and then press [F2 (GLOBL)].
3. Press [ ], [ ], [ ], and []to move the
cursor to “Measure Display,” then rotate the
TIME/VALUE dial. At this time, select “Always.”
Measure Display
Use this to select whether or not the measure and beat
appear in the graphic display.
Always: The measure and beat are constantly dis-
played.
Auto: The measure and beat are not displayed
when the metronome is not in use.
4. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].
Return to Play condition.
Changing the VS-1680’s SCSI ID Number
When connecting SCSI devices with the VS-1680, the
SCSI ID number of each device must be set so that
none of the devices have the same ID number. The VS-
1680’s SCSI ID number is set to “7” at the factory.
When connecting the VS-1680 to other SCSI devices
(for example, Zip drives or CD-R drives), be sure to set
the SCSI ID number for these other devices to a num-
ber other than “7.”
If no other SCSI ID number is vacant, it is also possible
to change the SCSI ID number of the VS-1680.
1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [F5 (SYSTEM)].
The System menu icon is displayed. If the System
menu icon does not appear, then press [F6 (EXIT)].
2. Press [F2 (GLOBL)]. If “GLOBL” does not appear
in [F2], first press [PAGE] until “GLOBL” is dis-
played, and then press [F2 (GLOBL)].
3. Press [ ], [ ], [ ], and []to move the
cursor to “SCSI Self ID,” then rotate the
TIME/VALUE dial.
SCSI Self ID (SCSI Self ID Number)
This sets the VS-1680’s own SCSI ID number (0–7).
4. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [STORE (ZERO)].
“STORE OK?” appears in the display.
5. Press [YES].
The song is saved.
6. Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].
Return to Play condition. The new SCSI ID number
becomes effective from the next time when the VS-
1680 is turned on.

Example of entering numerals from lower
to higher place digits
For example, let’s see how “01h23m45s00f” is
input when the NUMERICS Type is set to “Up.”
1. Press [NUMERICS].
The button indicator lights.
2. The cursor appears at the digit furthest to the
right (in the lowest place). Press the LOCA-
TOR buttons [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [0], and [0],
in that order.
The numerals appear in the place furthest to the
right and shift to higher places as other numerals
are entered. You can also move the cursor to the
desired place by pressing the [ ] and [ ]
buttons.
3. When you are finished inputting the number,
press [ENTER (YES)].
The numerical value is set, and the button indica-
tor goes off.
Example of entering numerals from high-
er to lower place digits
Now let’s see how “01h23m45s00f” is input when
the NUMERICS Type is set to “Down.”
1. Press [NUMERICS].
The button indicator lights, and the current time
in the song is displayed.
2. The cursor appears in the digit furthest to the
left (the highest place). Press the LOCATOR
buttons [0], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [0], and [0], in
that order.
The numerals appear from left to right, just as
they are entered. You can also move the cursor to
the desired place by pressing the [ ] and [ ]
buttons.
3. When you are finished inputting the number,
press [ENTER (YES)].
The numerical value is set, and the button indica-
