MV-8800 Owner’s Manual
Using V-LINK from an external device (V-LINK Slave)
You can turn the V-LINK Slave function on from another V-LINK device connected to the MV-8800. In this
case, the MV-8800 will receive control messages from the external device, and will switch the images that it
is outputting.
When the MV-8800 receives a MIDI exclusive V-LINK ON message at the MIDI connector specified by its Rx
Select parameter, its Rx Sw parameter will be turned On. In this state, the MV-8800 can receive various
V-LINK messages for setup or control (V-LINK Slave functionality). The MIDI messages that can be received
when the V-LINK Slave function is on are the same as when V-LINK is off.
1.
Connect your external V-LINK device to the MV-8800.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the external device’s MIDI OUT connector to the MV-8800’s MIDI IN connector.
2.
Press [SHIFT] + [V-LINK].
The V-LINK screen (Screen Guide; p. 179) will appear.
3.
Press [F2](Slave).
The V-LINK (SLAVE) screen (Screen Guide; p. 180) will appear.
