Using V-LINK devices
What is V-LINK?
V-LINK ( ) is a function that lets you create performances that link music
and video. By using a V-LINK compatible video device with the MV-8000, you can
easily produce a variety of video effects that are linked to your performance.
For example...
If you use the MV-8000 with an Edirol DV-7PR, you can
• Use the MV-8000 to remotely make performance settings on the Edirol
DV-7PR.
• Use the MV-8000's sequencer to create synchronized music and video
performances.
• Use the MV-8000's pads to switch images (clips/palettes) on the Edirol
DV-7PR.
• Use the MV-8000's sliders to control the brightness or color of the images.
Example connections
Connect the MV-8000's MIDI OUT connector via an Edirol UM-1 etc. to the Edirol
DV-7PR's REMOTE connector.
