MIDI Control Modes of the V-40HD
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. In this mode, the V-40HD works as the MIDI
master device.
V-LINK Slave mode
This is the mode for remote controlling V-40HD from an external V-LINK device. In this mode, the V-40HD works as a slave device.
What is V-LINK
V-LINK is a feature for performing video synchronized to music using MIDI. The V-LINK feature provides a quick and simple way to
establish a link with a compatible device.
MVC Slave mode
This is the mode for remote controlling the V-40HD from an external MVC (MIDI Visual Control) device. In this mode, the V-40HD
works as a slave device.
What is MVC (MIDI Visual Control)
MIDI Visual Control is a feature that uses MIDI to link visual expression to a musical performance. Connecting a musical instrument
that supports MVC via MIDI, you can remotely control the V-40HD in accordance with the musical performances.
Remote Controlling via MIDI

Remote Controlling via MIDI
MIDI Menu of the V-40HD
You can make V-40HD MIDI settings in the System menu. Select [MIDI] > [STATUS] to select one of the MIDI control modes.
• OFF
• Native
• V-Link Master
• V-Link Slave
• MVC Slave
You cannot select V-Link Slave or MVC from the menu. If the V-800HD receives V-LINK ON or MVC ON message from an external device while it’ s
in standard MIDI mode, the mode switches automatically. Reception of V-LINK OFF or MVC OFF message also switches the mode automatically to
standard MIDI mode.
When [On] is selected for [Through Output], the received signal coming in from MIDI IN jack will be output from MIDI OUT jack without any
alteration. V-40HD exclusive messages (SYSEX) will not be output. When you are not using MIDI, turn it to [O ].
Using in standard MIDI mode
When you use in standard MIDI mode, select [Native] in [Status]. Also match the MIDI channel with the connected MIDI device.
Using in V-LINK Master mode
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].
Using in MVC Slave mode
When you use in MVC slave mode, send MIDI Visual Control ON message while the V-40HD is in standard MIDI mode. The MIDI
device ID of the V-40HD will be [00H].
Refer to“MIDI Implementations”from next page for commands in each mode.
