ENGLISH

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.

How to use V-LINK

Activating V-LINK

(1) Connect the AX-Synth’s MIDI OUT socket to the

MIDI IN socket of your optional Edirol video device.

Note: V-LINK communication is not possible via the USB
port.

(2) Press the

[V-LINK] button (it lights).

Operations on the AX-Synth

V-LINK messages are transmitted on MIDI channel “10”.
The following functions can be controlled from the
AX-Synth:

• Video clip selection: the keys in the lowest octave

allow you to switch clips on an optional Edirol device.
(Those keys are temporarily unavailable for triggering
notes.)

• Video playback speed control: Sliding your finger

over the TOUCH CONTROLLER ribbon will speed up or
slow down the video playback speed.
(The ribbon still generates Pitch Bend messages, how-
ever.)
