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).
Connection Example

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.
