Using V-LINK to Control Video Equipment

V-LINK (

)is a function that allows you to perform music and video together. By using a V-LINK compatible video device, you can easily

enjoy a variety of video effects that are linked with your performance.

For example, by using the VR-700 in conjunction with the EDIROL Visual Sampler P-10, you can do the following things.

• Use the VR-700’s keys (the leftmost octave) to switch images.

• Use the VR-700’s bend lever to control the image playback speed.

• Use the VR-700’s D Beam controller to control the brightness or hue of the image.

* In order to take advantage of V-LINK between the VR-700 and the P-10, you’ll need to make connections using MIDI cables (sold separately).

This example explains connections with the EDIROL P-10.

Use a MIDI cable to connect the VR-700’s MIDI OUT connector to the P-10’s

MIDI IN connector.

* When making connections, you must first minimize the volume on all devices

and turn off their power to prevent malfunctions or speaker damage.

* Set the Function mode setting “Transmit Channel” (p. 60) to match the MIDI

receive channel of your video device.
