These are the MIDI control modes for the V-40HD. Select one mode best suited for your connected device or your application. Standard MIDI mode This is the mode for remote controlling the V-40HD from an external MIDI device (like a keyboard) or linking 2 units of the V-40HD. V-LINK Master mode This is the mode for remote controlling an external V-LINK device from the V-40HD.
When you use in V-LINK master mode, select [V-LINK Master] in [Status]. The MIDI device ID of the V-40HD will be [10H]. Using in V-LINK Slave mode When you use in V-LINK slave mode, send V-LINK ON message while the V-40HD is in standard MIDI mode. The MIDI device ID of the V-40HD will be [10H].
