Using V-LINK
■About V-LINK
V-LINK ( ) is a function that provides for
the integration of music and visual material. By using
V-LINK-compatible video devices (i.e. an Edirol
DV-7PR), visual effects can be easily linked to, and
made part of the expressive elements of a perfor-
mance.
By using the G-70 with an Edirol DV-7PR, you can:
• Use the G-70’s keyboard (highest octave) to switch
images (clips). Press and hold a key for longer transi-
tions (“fades”). Briefly press a key for fast transitions.
• Use the BENDER axis of the BENDER/MODULATION
lever to change the playback speed of the picture
material or to select a different color.
• Use the D Beam controller to control several effects
(this depends on the function you assign to the D Beam,
see below).
V-Link signals can be transmitted via MIDI OUT or the
USB port.
(1) Connect the G-70’s MIDI OUT socket (or USB port)
to the MIDI IN socket (or USB port) of the external
video processor (or to a UM-1 interface).
Note: You don’t need a UM-1 interface for a USB connection.
Simply connect the G-70’s USB port to the DV-7PR’s USB port.
Then, switch on the OUTPUT [USB] field on the MIDI page (see
p. 214).
(2) Press the [V-LINK] button (it lights).
(The keys in the highest octave now act as controllers
and no longer play notes.)
If you prefer to work with the following display page,
press and hold the [V-LINK] button.
(You can also use the assignable sliders for V-Link
control if this page is not displayed.)
(3) Use [16’]~[4’] and [2’]~[1’] sliders or the “V-LINK”
keys (highest octave) to manipulate the video pic-
tures in sync with your music.

CLIP Allows you to select the Edirol DV-7PR’s clips
(or palettes) 1~32. Press the keys in the high-
est octave to switch clips 1~8.
PALETTE Allows you to switch between palettes 1~20.
DISSOLVE TIME Allows you to set the transition speed
between images. The velocity of the keys in
the highest octave can also be used to con-
trol the transition speed (but only for the
eight clips that can be selected via the key-
board).
SPEED PLAYBK Moving the slider upwards speeds up play-
back, moving it downwards slows down play-
back. At the center position, playback speed is
normal.
VFX Allows you to change video effects. This func-
tion is not available if the receiving video
processor is already set to “Off”.
Note: VFX2 is not supported by the
DV-7.
BRIGHTNESS Controls the brightness of the image.
COLOR CB Allows you to change the color. There are five
steps that can be selected by pressing the
lever several times: green, violet, blue, red,
original clip color.
COLOR CR Allows you to change the color (green, violet,
blue, red, original clip color).
