25. Controlling Video Equipment (Visual Control)
The BK-9 has a powerful interface for realtime audio-and-video
integration.
What is MIDI Visual Control?
MIDI Visual Control is an internationally-
used recommended practice that was
added to the MIDI specification so that
visual expression could be linked with
musical performance. Video equipment
that is compatible with MIDI Visual Control
can be connected to electronic musical
instruments via MIDI in order to control video equipment in
tandem with a performance.
How to Connect a Video Equipment
When MIDI Visual Control- or V-LINK compatible devices are
connected via MIDI, you'll be able to easily enjoy a variety of
visual effects that are linked to the expressive elements of your
performance.
For example, if you use the BK-9 with the EDIROL P-10, you'll be able
to use the various controls on the BK-9's keyboard to switch and
control images on the EDIROL P-10.
In order to enjoy the Visual Control function with the BK-9 and the
EDIROL P-10, you'll need to make connections using a MIDI cable
(sold separately)
