Vetta II MIDI Implementation

 

For those needing the basics, check out - The Line 6 Vetta & MIDI

With the release of the EDIT software and the updated 2.03 operating system of the new Vetta II's, Line 6 implemented use of MIDI Continuous Controllers to allow for real-time midi control (and editing) over the various amp and fx parameters inside the Vetta II. 

For those of you who wonder if you should skip getting a Line 6 Foot Board Controller and go with a MIDI Foot Controller, some users have been making use of the Behringer FCB1010 with their Vetta. Vettaville.nl (Netherlands) provides some very useful files and information about using the FCB1010 with various Line 6 amps which can be found at the following link http://www.vettaville.nl/vvfcbfiles.htm

The control numbers listed in the charts below are the Vetta II parameters that are currently able to be controlled via MIDI Continuous Controllers. Also be aware that some of these MIDI messages have already been explained in detail in the back of the owner's manual. And of course, MIDI Program Change messages have always been a feature of the Vetta I and II.

 

For each of these On/Off toggles, Controller values 0~63=On; 64~127=Off:
