About V-LINK
What is V-LINK?
V-LINK ( ) is a function that provides for the play of music and visual material. By using V-LINK-compatible video equipment,
visual effects can be easily linked to, and made part of the expressive elements of a performance.
(Examples)
By using the MC-909 and Edirol DV-7PR together, you can:
• Make Edirol DV-7PR playback settings remotely from the MC-909.
• Use the MC-909’s sequencer to enjoy synchronized music and video.
• Use the MC-909’s velocity pads to switch the Edirol DV-7PR’s
images (clips/palettes).
• Use the MC-909’s knobs to adjust the brightness or color of the
image.
• Use the MC-909’s turntable emulation to control the video
playback speed along with the music playback speed.
* In order to use V-LINK with the MC-909 and Edirol DV-7PR, you
will need to make connections using an Edirol UM1/UM-1S (sold
separately).
By using the MC-909 and Edirol V-4 together, you can:
• Make settings for remotely controlling the V-4 from the MC-909.
• Use the MC-909’s sequencer to switch images on the V-4,
creating video performances with synchronized music.
• Use the MC-909’s velocity pads to control the V-4’s input
selector, switching between images from various source
devices.
• Use the MC-909’s knobs to specify the time for transition effects
(e.g., overlap or wipe).
* In order to use V-LINK with the MC-909 and Edirol V-4, you will
need a commercially-available MIDI cable.
