About V-LINK

V-LINK (

) is a function that allows music and

images to be performed together. By using MIDI to connect two or
more V-LINK compatible devices, you can easily enjoy performing a
wide range of visual effects that are linked to the expressive
elements of a music performance.

(Examples)

By using the Fantom-Xa and Edirol DV-7PR together, you can:

• Make Edirol DV-7PR playback settings remotely from the

Fantom-Xa.

• Use the Fantom-Xa’s sequencer to enjoy synchronized music

and video.

• Use the Fantom-Xa’s pads to switch the Edirol DV-7PR’s images

(clips/palettes).

• Use the Fantom-Xa’s knobs to adjust the brightness or color of

the image.

*

In order to use V-LINK with the Fantom-Xa and Edirol DV-7PR, you
will need to make connections using an Edirol UM-1X/UM-1SX (sold
separately).

Use an UM-1X/UM-1SX to connect the Fantom-Xa’s MIDI OUT
connector to the V-LINK compatible device.

*

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.
