Roland CG-8 User Manual page 102

Using external equipment to control the CG-8
V-LINK compatible MIDI devices are able to set up both themselves and the other
MIDI device without requiring the user to be aware of V-LINK messages. You can then
use your V-LINK compatible MIDI device to control the CG-8 as part of your musical
performance.
The following tables show the correspondence between the V-LINK parameter names
and the CG-8's parameters, and also show the initial V-LINK assignments (the state
when only the V-LINK ON message has been received).
