Main Features
Revolutionary Design Concept (Separate Systems)
Roland’s VM-7000 Series V-Mixing System adopts the concept of separate systems
in which the input/output section (the processor), and the operating section (the
console) are completely separate.
fig.1-01e
ConsoleProcessor
VM-LINK
Main Features
The processor and console are connected by two standard AES/EBU digital audio
cables (VM-Link). Only data concerned with the console’s operations is sent to the
processor. No audio signals are exchanged between the two devices, thus
eliminating talkback and other problems. Because of this, you can easily put
together a PA system that is very resistant to noise.
A Full Array of Input and Output Connectors
The processor is equipped with a variety of connectors, including XLR connectors
compatible with a range of levels, from mic to line, quarter-inch phone jacks
(balanced and unbalanced), and digital interfaces (S/P DIF coaxial and AES/EBU)
for connecting numerous kinds of digital devices, from consumer electronics to
professional equipment. All provide you with professional-quality processing.
Up to Nine Stereo Effects Groups (With VS8F-2 Installed)
These processors come with two 24-bit stereo digital effects groups (compatible with
Roland’s VS8F-2). This allows you to instantly call up algorithms for the reverb and
compression effects, mic simulator, speaker modeling, and other effects that are so
popular in Roland’s VS-1680 Digital Studio Workstation and VM-3100 V-Mixing
Station. Furthermore, there is an additional group of Master-only stereo effects
that can be inserted only in the MASTER OUT/MONITOR OUT. And what’s more,
since up to three VS8F-2 Effects Expansion Boards can be installed, this lets you use up to an astounding nine stereo effects.
7
Main Features
Routing Freedom
Previous mixers have had a fixed number of buses, a fact which has placed
limitations on the applications they could be used for, and the addition of peripheral
devices. With the VM-7200’s FlexBus, this limitation is a thing of the past, providing
you with complete freedom to set up the routings most suitable for the purpose at
hand. In addition, the processor features a virtual patchbay that allows you to freely
change input and output channel connections—without having to change any
cables.
Equipped With Spectrum Analyzer
The VM-7200 also features a spectrum analyzer that lets you check the acoustic
properties at live venues, such as clubs and concert halls. It features a built-in noise
generator and oscillator, so you can view the acoustic characteristics in the console
display, allowing you to make the perfect adjustments (with the equalizer settings)
rapidly and efficiently.
■ Differences Between the VM-7200 and VM-7100
The numbers of input and output jacks provided on the VM-7200 and VM-7100
differ as shown below. Check which model you are using to avoid confusion.

Various Connection Setups
Connecting Microphones and Instruments
(Analog Connection)
This section describes examples of connecting microphones and instruments to the
processor.
Precautions When Connecting Microphones
• The pin assignment for the each connectors is as shown below. Before
making any connections, make sure that this pin assignment is compatible
with that of all your other devices.
fig.5-01
• Howling could be produced depending on the location of microphones
relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:
1 Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
2 Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers.
3 Lowering volume levels.
• Carefully read the owner’s manual for the microphone you are using, and
unless you are connecting a condenser mic requiring phantom power, be
sure turn phantom power off (refer to the console Owner’s Manual).
Supplying phantom power to dynamic microphones or keyboards may
result in damage to the equipment.
• Turn the phantom power on or off only after muting the channels to which
condenser microphones are connected. A loud noise or pop is produced
when the phantom power is turned on or off without muting first, and this
noise can severely damage amps, speakers, or other equipment.
When the console and
processor are separated,
hold down
[MUTE ALL OUTPUTS] on
the processor.
1 Completely lower the console’s MASTER fader.
2 Select the channel to which you want to input the sound, and connect the
microphone or instrument to the corresponding INPUT jack.

Connecting Word Clock
In cases such as when connecting multiple devices in a studio using digital
connections, a standardized signal for synchronization is needed so that the digital
audio for each device can be exchanged correctly. This synchronizing signal is
known as word clock. In general, a digital multitrack recorder or word clock
generator is used as the master, and a mixing processor (VM-7200, VM-7100) or other
digital device operates as the slave.

Various Connection Setups
Troubleshooting
If it appears that the VM-7200 or VM-7100 is not operating properly, check over the
suggested remedies below before assuming that the unit is experiencing a
malfunction. If after checking the following you find that the problem persists, call
Roland Information or consult your nearby Roland Service Center or Roland dealer.
No Sound
- Power to the processor, console, or other connected device has not been turned on.
- The VM-LINK cable is not properly connected (p. 23).
- An audio cable is not properly connected (p. 23).
- The volume level of a connected amp or speakers is turned down.
- Channel faders or Master faders are lowered.
- Channels are muted (p. 25).
- You are using a power cord other than the original cord provided with the
equipment.
→ Some third-party power cords, while resembling the original, may not make
secure electrical contact, resulting in poor operation. Be sure to use only the
power cord included with each device.
- The volume level of the instrument connected to Processor is too low.
→ Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor? Use a
connection cable that does not contain a resistor.
- A device that consumes large amounts of power is being used at the same time.
→ Other devices can cause a severe reduction in voltage. Use a separate electrical
outlet for any piece of equipment that consumes large amounts of electricity.
No Sound From Specific Channel
- The input sensitivity (pre amp gain) is too low.
- There is a discrepancy between the channel assigned to the channel fader and the
channel used for that sound.
- The Solo or Mute function is being used.
Sound is Noisy or Distorted
- The input sensitivity (pre amp gain) is not set properly.
→ Setting the input sensitivity too high distorts the sound; conversely, when the
input sensitivity is set too low, the sound becomes very noisy. Set the input
sensitivity so that the level meter fluctuates at as high a level as possible within
the range of -12 to 0 dB (refer to the console Owner’s Manual).
- A device producing noise (such as a computer or monitor) is set up near a
connected microphone.
- The equalizer is being used.
→ Some equalizer settings may cause the sound to become distorted. In such
cases, readjust the equalizer.
- The recording or playback pitch of a connected digital multitrack recorder (such
as an ALESIS adat or TASCAM DA) has been changed (the Vari-Pitch function has
been used).
→ The maximum sampling rate for the VM-7000 Series is 48 kHz. Thus, raising
the pitch with the Vari-Pitch function when the digital MTR’s Master Clock is
already running at 48 kHz can cause noise to be produced. In such cases, use
an analog connection for the audio signals.
34
Effect Not Applied
- The VS8F-2 has not been installed in the processor (p. 13, 18).
- Channel effect send levels are lowered (refer to the console Owner’s Manual).
- The effect is already being inserted into another channel.
- You are trying to select an algorithm that cannot be used in the master effects.
- External effects are being used.
→ Check the INSERT jack block diagram, and reconnect the Send and Return
properly (p. 28).
Cannot Make Cascade Connection
-
The VM-24C has not been installed on both processors that are being connected (p. 16,
21).
- The R-BUS (RMDB2) cable included with the VM-24C is not being used (p. 32).
→ Although they look similar, SCSI cables and cables for TASCAM devices are
not compatible and cannot be used. Using other cables may result in damage
to the equipment; be sure to use the R-BUS (RMDB2) cable.
- The master and slave are not connected correctly (p. 32).
→ Sounds from the master processor cannot be output from the slave processor.
Use the processor with the VM24-C MASTER board installed as the master.
Troubleshooting
Cannot Connect Digital MTR (ALESIS adat, TASCAM DA, or Other)
- VM-24E has not been installed in the processor (p. 14, 19).
- The R-BUS (RMDB2) cable included with the DIF-AT is not being used (p. 30).
→ Although they look similar, SCSI cables and cables for TASCAM devices are
not compatible and cannot be used. Using other cables may result in damage
to the equipment; be sure to use the R-BUS (RMDB2) cable.

The VM-7200/7100 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 VM-7200/7100 can transmit and receive the System Exclusive messages such as
Universal System Exclusive messages, Data Request (RQ1) and Data set (DT1).
❍About Model ID
For Data Request (RQ1) and Data Set (DT1), the VM-7200/7100 uses 00H 1EH as a 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 VM-7200/7100
units.
The VM-7200/7100 sends system exclusive messages using the value set at “MIDI System
Exclusive Device ID (*1),” and receives the system exclusive messages whose device ID is
same as its device ID and 7FH.

Limitation condition of insert location is difference depending on the FX number and the
Effect Board Select of “2-16.Misc. Parameter.” Please assign the effective MSB and LSB as
follows.
It is impossible to insert more than two FX to the same insert location. Please check if the
insert location you wish to set is not used for other FX.
If you select SndRtn for MSB, it is automatically set to the bus of the same FX number, no
matter how the LSB is set. Please set both the L and R channels of MSB with the same FX
number to SndRtn.
* When you use the spectrum analyzer (when you use the algorithm 34:FFT on FX1, 3, 5 or

●Decimal and Hexadecimal table
(Hexadecimal number is shown with H.)
In MIDI documentation, data values and addresses/sizes of system exclusive messages etc.
are expressed as hexadecimal values for each 7 bits. The following table shows how these
correspond to decimal numbers.
* Decimal values such as MIDI channel, bank select, and program change are listed as one
(1) greater than the values given in the above table.
* A 7-bit byte can express data in the range of 128 steps. For data where greater precision
is required, we must use two or more bytes. For example, two hexadecimal numbers aa
bbH expressing two 7-bit bytes would indicate a value of aa x 128 + bb.
* In the case of values which have a +/- sign, 00H = -64, 40H = +/-0, and 7FH = +63, so
that the decimal expression would be 64 less than the value given in the above chart. In
the case of two types, 00 00H = -8192, 40 00H = +/-0, and 7F 7FH = +8191.
* Data marked “nibbled” is expressed in hexadecimal in 4-bit units. A value expressed as a
2-byte nibble 0a 0bH has the value of a x 16 + b.
<Ex.1> What is 5AH in decimal system?
5AH = 90 according to the above table.
<Ex.2>What in decimal system is 12034H in hexadecimal of every 7 bit?
12H = 18, 34H = 52 according to the above table. So 18 x 128 + 52 = 2356.
<Ex.3> What in decimal system is 0A 03 09 0D in nibble system?
0AH = 10, 03H = 3, 09H = 9, 0DH = 13 according to the table.
So ((10 x 16 + 3) x 16 + 9) x 16 + 13 = 41885.
<Ex. 4> What in nibble system is 1258 in decimal system?
____
16)1258
16) 78 ... 10
16) 4 ... 14
0 ... 4
MIDI Implementation
0 = 00H, 4 = 04H, 14 = 0EH, 10 = 0AH According to the table.
So it is 00 04 0E 0AH.

●Example of system exclusive message and Checksum
calculation
On Roland system exclusive message (DT1), checksum is added at the end of transmitted
data (in front of F7) to check the message is received correctly. Value of checksum is defined
by address and data (or size) of the system exclusive message to be transmitted.
How to calculate checksum (Hexadecimal number is shown with H.)
Checksum is a value which lower 7 bit of the sum of address, size and checksum itself turns
to be 0.
If the address of the system exclusive message to be transmitted is aa bb ccH and data or
size is dd ee ffH,
aa + bb + cc + dd + ee + ff = sum
sum / 128 = quotient and odd
When odd is 0, 0 = checksum
When odd is other than 0, 128 - odd = checksum
