About V-LINK
V-LINK ( ) is functionality promoted by
Roland that makes it easy to synchronize visual effects with
music. By using video equipment that supports the use of V-
LINK (such as Edirol motion dive .tokyo Performance
Package), you can easily produce a variety of visual effects
that are linked to the expressive elements of your
performance.
For example, if you use the SP-555 in conjunction with the
motion dive .tokyo Performance Package, you’ll be able to
do the following.
• Use the SP-555’s synthesizer to produce synchronized
music and video performances.
• Play the SP-555’s pads or sequencer (songs or
patterns) to switch images on the motion dive .tokyo
Performance Package.
• Use the SP-555’s CTRL 1–3 knobs and D Beam
controller to control the brightness or hue of an image.
In order to use V-LINK between the SP-555 and the motion
dive .tokyo Performance Package, you’ll need to make
connections using a MIDI cable (sold separately).
As an example, we will use a setup in which the SP-555 is
connected to the motion dive .tokyo Performance Package.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the SP-555’s MIDI OUT
connector to the MIDI IN connector of the Edirol MD-P1.
To prevent malfunction or speaker damage, minimize the
volume on all your equipment and turn off the power before
you make connections.
1.
Press the SP-555’s [V-LINK] button so it’s lit; V-LINK
will be on.
When [V-LINK] is lit, you can operate the SP-555 to
control images in synchronization with the SP-555’s
performance.
2.
To turn off V-LINK, press [V-LINK] once again so its
light goes out.
* For details on how to change these functions, refer to
“V-LINK
settings”
(p. 53).
