Synchronizing Images to a
TD-12 Performance
[F4 (V-LINK)]

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 effects that are linked to the
expressive elements of a music performance.
For example, by using the TD-12 and Edirol DV-7PR together,
you can use the pads connected to the TD-12 to switch the
Edirol DV-7PR's images (clips/palettes).
* In order to use V-LINK with the TD-12 and Edirol DV-7PR,
you will need to make connections using an Edirol UM-1X/
UM-1SX (sold separately).

Connection Examples

* Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power
to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage
to speakers or other devices.
Use an Edirol UM-1X to connect the TD-12's MIDI OUT
connector to the Edirol DV-7PR's remote jack.
