About V-LINK
V-LINK ( ) is a function that allows music and
images to be performed together. By using MIDI to connect two or
more V-LINK compatible devices, you can easily enjoy performing a
wide range of visual effects that are linked to the expressive
elements of a music performance.
(Examples)
By using the Fantom-Xa and Edirol DV-7PR together, you can:
Make Edirol DV-7PR playback settings remotely from the
Fantom-Xa.
Use the Fantom-Xa’s sequencer to enjoy synchronized music
and video.
Use the Fantom-Xa’s pads to switch the Edirol DV-7PR’s images
(clips/palettes).
Use the Fantom-Xa’s knobs to adjust the brightness or color of
the image.
* In order to use V-LINK with the Fantom-Xa and Edirol DV-7PR, you
will need to make connections using an Edirol UM-1X/UM-1SX (sold
separately).
Use an UM-1X/UM-1SX to connect the Fantom-Xa’s MIDI OUT
connector to the V-LINK compatible device.
* 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.
