About Remote Control Modes

You can remotely control the VR-3 from an external MIDI device such as a keyboard. You can also send operational status updates
from the VR-3 to another MIDI device.
There are three remote control modes.
Standard Mode
This is the exclusive MIDI remote control mode of the VR-3. You can remotely control the following operations of the VR-3 with an
external MIDI device.
• Audio level
• Transition select
• On/Off of key composition
• Setup of transition or key parameters
• Output fade
• Channel selection
MIDI Visual Control (MVC) Mode
MIDI Visual Control (MVC) is a new world-wide standard of MIDI. It aims to link music and video during live performances. By
connecting the two devices via MDI, you can remotely control the VR-3 with an electronic musical instrument in time to the music
or audio. The VR-3 switches to MVC mode when it receives an MVC "On" command from a MIDI device. .
* When the VR-3 receives MVC OFF message, the remote control mode automatically returns to standard mode.
V-LINK Mode
V-LINK is a Roland original feature to link music and visual performances. You can remotely control the VR-3 via a MIDI connection
from another V-LINK enabled Roland product.
The VR-3 can turn on its V-LINK mode when it receives a V-LINK "on" command from another Roland V-LINK enabled product.
* When the VR-3 receives the V-LINK OFF message, the remote control mode automatically returns to standard mode.
