Synchronizing Music and Video
While You Play the V-Synth XT
(V-LINK)
The V-Synth XT lets you use the Time Trip pad and E1–E8 knobs to
control an externally connected video device that supports V-LINK.
This means that your performance on the V-Synth XT can control not
only sound but also images, producing sound and video effects that
are linked to your playing.
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.
