16. Visual Control function
The BK-5 has a powerful interface for realtime audio-and-video integration. “Visual Control” is a function that allows
music and images to be performed together. When MIDI Visual Control- or V-LINK compatible devices are connected via
MIDI, you’ll be able to easily enjoy a variety of visual effects that are linked to the expressive elements of your perfor-
mance.
For example, if you use the BK-5 with the EDIROL P-10,
you’ll be able to use the various controls on the BK-5’s
keyboard to switch and control images on the EDIROL
P-10.
In order to enjoy the Visual Control function with the
BK-5 and the EDIROL P-10, you’ll need to make connec-
tions using a MIDI cable (sold separately).

To prevent malfunction and speaker damage, you must mini-
mize the volume on all equipment and turn off their power
