MIDI Control Modes of the V-1HD
The V-1HD supports remote control via an external MIDI device. MIDI remote control for the V-1HD comprises the following three modes.
MEMO
You can also operate the V-1HD to send MIDI messages to an external MIDI device. The output MIDI messages are shared by the three modes.
Standard Mode
This is the MIDI remote-control mode specific to the V-1HD. You use it when remotely operating the V-1HD from a keyboard or other external MIDI
device.
MIDI Visual Control (MVC) Mode
This is the mode for remote controlling the V-1HD from an external MVC (MIDI Visual Control) device.
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 MIDI, you can remotely control the V-1HD with an electronic musical instrument in time to the music or audio. The V-1HD switches to MVC
mode when it receives an MVC “On” command from a MIDI device.
V-LINK Mode
This is the mode for remote controlling V-1HD from an external V-LINK device.
V-LINK is a Roland original feature to link music and visual performances. You can remotely control the V-1HD via a MIDI connection from another
V-LINK enabled Roland product.
The V-1HD can turn on its V-LINK mode when it receives a V-LINK “On” command from another Roland V-LINK enabled product.
SETUP Menu
Detailed settings for MIDI remote control are made via the SETUP menu on the V-1HD. Press the [MENU] button to display the MIDI menu.
