Using MIDI to control the V-1 from an external device

Controlling the V-1 from a connected P-1

By using a connected P-1 (sold separately) to control the V-1, you can easily add still images or text to a video image.

For the best image quality, use an S-video cable to connect the P-1 and V-1.

* For details, refer to the P-1 owner’s manual.

Correspondence between controls and MIDI messages

After the power is turned on (if V-LINK is OFF), the following MIDI messages will be transmitted from MIDI OUT when you operate the V-1’s buttons or knobs. If these messages are received at MIDI IN, the V-1 will behave in the same way as it would if you were to operate the corresponding button or knob.

Recording Control Data Output from MIDI OUT

Control data, which describes fader movements and other operations, can be transmitted in the form of MIDI messages from MIDI OUT. You can record these messages using a MIDI sequencer. To find out which messages can be sent in this manner, refer to the implementation chart.

Refer to your MIDI sequencer's manual for further information.
