Using V-LINK
■About V-LINK
V-LINK ( ) is a function that provides for
the integration of music and visual material. By using
V-LINK-compatible video devices (i.e. an Edirol
DV-7PR), visual effects can be easily linked to and
made part of the expressive elements of a perfor-
mance.
By using the E-60/E-50 with an Edirol DV-7PR, you
can:
• Use the E-60/E-50’s keyboard (highest octave) to
switch images (clips). Press and hold a key for longer
transitions (“fades”). Briefly press a key for fast tran-
sitions.
• Use the BENDER axis of the BENDER/MODULATION
lever to change the playback speed of the picture
material or to select a different color.
• Use the D Beam controller (E-60) to control several
effects (this depends on the function you assign to the
D Beam, see below).
V-Link signals are transmitted via MIDI OUT.
(1) Connect the E-60/E-50’s MIDI OUT socket to the
USB port of the video processor (via an optional
UM-1 interface).
(2) Press the [V-LINK] button (it lights).
(The keys in the highest octave now act as controllers
and no longer play notes.)
If you prefer to work with the following display page,
press and hold the [V-LINK] button.
You can also select this page by pressing the [MENU]
button‰ [V-LINK] field.
(3) Press the slider icon of the paramater you want to
set and use the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial (or [DEC]/[INC]
buttons) or the “V-LINK” keys (highest octave) to
manipulate the video pictures.

CLIP: Allows you to select the Edirol DV-7PR’s clips
(or palettes) 1~32. You can also press the
keys in the highest octave to switch clips 1~8.
PALETTE: Allows you to switch between palettes 1~20.
DISSOLVE TIME: Allows you to set the transition speed
between images. The velocity values of the
keys in the highest octave can also be used to
control the transition speed (but only for the
eight clips that can be selected via the key-
board).
SPEED PLAYBK: Moving the fader icon upwards speeds up
playback, moving it downwards slows down
playback. At the center position, playback
speed is normal.
VFX: Allows you to change video effects. This func-
tion is not available if the receiving video
processor is set to “Off”.
Note: VFX2 is not supported by the
DV-7.
BRIGHTNESS: Controls the brightness of the image.
COLOR CB: Allows you to change the color. There are five
steps that can be selected by pressing the
lever several times: green, violet, blue, red,
original clip color.
COLOR CR: Allows you to change the color (green, violet,
blue, red, original clip color).
