9. About V-LINK

V-LINK () is a function that allows music and images to be performed together. By using MIDI to connect two or more V-LINK compatible devices, you can easily enjoy performing a wide range of visual effects that are linked to the expressive elements of a music performance.

How to use V-LINK

Activating V-LINK

(1)Connect the AX-Synth’s MIDI OUT socket to the MIDI IN socket of your optional Edirol video device.

Note: V-LINK communication is not possible via the USB port.

(2)Press the [V-LINK] button (it lights).

Operations on the AX-Synth

V-LINK messages are transmitted on MIDI channel “10”. The following functions can be controlled from the AX-Synth:

•Video clip selection: the keys in the lowest octave allow you to switch clips on an optional Edirol device. (Those keys are temporarily unavailable for triggering notes.)

•Video playback speed control: Sliding your finger over the TOUCH CONTROLLER ribbon will speed up or slow down the video playback speed.

(The ribbon still generates Pitch Bend messages, how- ever.)
