Operations on the AX-Synth
V-LINK messages are transmitted on MIDI channel "10".
The following functions can be controlled from the
AX-Synth:
• Video clip selection: the keys in the lowest octave
allow you to switch clips on an optional Edirol device.
(Those keys are temporarily unavailable for triggering
notes.)
• Video playback speed control: Sliding your finger
over the TOUCH CONTROLLER ribbon will speed up or
slow down the video playback speed.
(The ribbon still generates Pitch Bend messages, how-
ever.)
