What is 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 e ects that are linked to the expressive elements of a music
performance.
For example if you use the JUNO-Gi in conjunction with EDIROL P-10,
you’ll be able to do the following things.
Use the JUNO-Gi’s keyboard (the far-left octave) to switch images.
Use the JUNO-Gi’s pitch bend lever to control the image playback
speed.
You can use the JUNO-Gi’s knobs to control the brightness and hue
of the image.
NOTE
When V-LINK is ON, the keys in the leftmost octave of the keyboard
cannot be used to produce sound.
Connection example
As an example, we will use a setup in which the JUNO-Gi is connected
to the EDIROL P-10.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the JUNO-Gi’s MIDI OUT connector to the
MIDI IN connector of the EDIROL P-10.
