Control the V-4 from an external device

■Using V-LINK

For details on how to turn V-LINK on/off, refer to the owner’s manual of the V-LINK compatible device that you intend to connect to the V-4. When you turn V-LINK on, the indication “V-LINK” will appear in the preview monitor. When you turn V-LINK off, this indication will disappear.

When you turn on V-LINK on the connected device, the V-4 will switch to “Presentation mode.” If the V-4 is operating in normal mode and receives a V-LINK “On” signal, the function of its buttons and other controls will change. (For details on Presentation mode, refer to p. 68.) When V-LINK is turned off, the V-4 will return to its previous settings.

For details on the functions that can be controlled from an external device via V-LINK, refer to MIDI Implementation (p. 89) and to the MIDI implementation of the device you have connected. The functions that can be controlled will differ depending on the device that is connected and on its settings.

Using MIDI to control the V-4

You can connect the V-4 with various MIDI devices for a wide range of remote control functionality.

■What is MIDI?

MIDI stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface”—a worldwide standard that allows performance data and other information to be exchanged among musical instruments. MIDI- compatible devices can be connected together easily using MIDI cables. Once connected, performance data can readily be communicated between the two devices; or one can make settings for, as well as control the operation of the other device.
