Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Hi,

Im not sure if this email is for me since it's a 
month old and that I dont know much about controlling
this unit throu pc.  

I'm wondering if you could answer this question for
me.  Can I use VF-1 as a keyboard synthesizer or is
the midi just for controlling it?  I can't seem to
make it happen.  I bought a demo model and have no
manual.  Thanks in advance.
