Synchronizing images to an

RS-70 performance (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 RS-70 and Edirol DV-7PR together, you can:

Use the RS-70’s sequencer to enjoy synchronized music and
video.

Use the RS-70’s keyboard or buttons to switch the Edirol DV-
7PR’s images (clips/palettes).

Use the RS-70’s knobs to adjust the brightness or color of the
image.

Use the RS-70’s modulation lever to control the video playback
speed along with the music playback speed.

*

In order to use V-LINK with the RS-70 and Edirol DV-7PR, you will
need to make connections using an Edirol UM1/UM-1S (sold separately).

Connection examples

Use a UM-1 to connect the RS-70’s MIDI OUT connector to the DV-
7PR’s remote jack.

Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power
to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage
to speakers or other devices.
