About V-LINK

V-LINK (

) is a function that provides for the play

of music and visual material. By using V-LINK-compatible video

equipment, visual eff ects can be easily linked to, and made part of the

expressive elements of a performance.
For example, if you use the RD-300NX in conjunction with the P-10,

you’ll be able to do the following.

MEMO

In order to use V-LINK between the RD-300NX and the P-10, you’ll

need to make connections using a MIDI cable (sold separately).

Connection Examples

As an example, we will use a Live Set in which the RD-300NX is

connected to the P-10. Use a MIDI cable to connect the RD-300NX’s

MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN connector of the P-10.

NOTE

Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power

to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to

speakers or other devices.
