VS-880 ga Midi wa ikimashita ka?

oops, let me get out of Japanese manual mode.

If you are using the serial interface, the midi ports on the QS8 are diabled. Its surprising that the VS880 claims to be receiving anything.

Try hooking the VS880 to your sound card midi ports. This should work. You may need to go get an adapter for the joystick port.
