G-70 Music Workstation

■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. 213).

(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.

CLIP: Allows you to select the Edirol DV-7PR’s clips 

(or palettes) 1~32. You can also press the 
keys in the highest 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 values of the 
keys in the highest octave can also be used to 
control 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 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).
