What is V-LINK?

V-LINK (

) is a function that allows images to be synchronized to music. V-LINK

makes it easy to manipulate images in a variety of ways, while linking them to the expressive
elements of a performance.

(Example) When using a Roland MC-909 in conjunction with the V-4:

• You can make settings for controlling the V-4 from the MC-909 (remote settings).
• You can use the MC-909’s sequencer to control video switching on the V-4 to create performances that

link images with music.

• You can use the MC-909’s velocity pads to control the V-4’s input selectors and switch among images

from various source devices.

• You can use the MC-909’s knobs to adjust the time settings of transition effects (such as overlap or

wipe).

(Example) When using an Edirol PCR-30/50 in conjunction with the V-4:

• You can make settings for controlling the V-4 from the PCR-30/50 (remote settings).
• You can use the PCR-30/50 to control the V-4’s input selectors to switch between images from various

source devices.

• You can use the PCR-30/50 to adjust the time settings of transition effects (such as overlap or wipe).
