operation
It is possible to control the Voluum with
MIDI
input and to use the Voluum as a
MIDI
controller. For
example, by default the footpedal sends 14-bit volume controller messages on
MIDI
channel 1 so you
can use the V oluum to control synthesizers.
MIDI
can also be used to synchronise the
LFO
to your
sequencer to ensure its tempo matches that of your song, or to automate preset selection.
The Voluum can send and receive
MIDI
messages using dedicated
MIDI
connections or using
