Edirol V1 video mixer User Manual

Using MIDI to control the V-1 from an external device

By using a connected P-1 (sold separately) to control the V-1, you can easily add still
images or text to a video image.

* For details, refer to the P-1 owner’s manual.

After the power is turned on (if V-LINK is OFF), the following MIDI messages will
be transmitted from MIDI OUT when you operate the V-1’s buttons or knobs. If these
messages are received at MIDI IN, the V-1 will behave in the same way as it would
if you were to operate the corresponding button or knob.

Recording Control Data Output from MIDI OUT

Control data, which describes fader movements and other operations, can be
transmitted in the form of MIDI messages from MIDI OUT. You can record these
messages using a MIDI sequencer. To find out which messages can be sent in this
manner, refer to the implementation chart.

Refer to your MIDI sequencer's manual for further information.

Controlling the V-1 from a connected P-1

Correspondence between controls and MIDI messages

For the best image quality, use
an S-video cable to connect the
P-1 and V-1.

MIDI messages (shaded in the
diagram) are given in
hexadecimal notation.
