Video equipment that supports MIDI Visual Control can be controlled from the JUPITER-80.
What is Visual Control?
Visual Control is a function that lets you control video along with your performance.
The JUPITER-80 can control video equipment that supports MIDI Visual Control or V-LINK.
MIDI Visual Control is an internationally-used recommended practice that was added to the MIDI specification so that visual
expression could be linked with musical performance. Video equipment that is compatible with MIDI Visual Control can be
connected to electronic musical instruments via MIDI in order to control video equipment in tandem with a performance.
V-LINK is Roland’s proprietary specification that allows visual expression to be linked with musical performance. Video
equipment that is compatible with V-LINK can be connected to electronic musical instruments via their MIDI ports, making it
easy to enjoy a variety of visual effects that are linked with the performance.
