The Modifiers

Although you don’t have direct programming access to the VL1-m instru-

ment block, the modifiers allow a significant degree of control over the final

timbre of the voice. The modifiers block consists of 5 sections as shown in the

diagram. Although these may appear to be simple effects, they are actually

intimately related to the VL1-m’s sound-producing model and have a significant

effect on the sound (the VL1-m has a separate effects stage with reverb, delay,

and modulations effects — see page 58).

Harmonic Enhancer

The Harmonic Enhancer allows you to

manipulate the harmonic structure of the

sound to the extent that you can create

radical timbral variations within the current

instrument “family” (e.g. saxes). [Page 51]

Dynamic Filter

This section is similar to the dynamic filters

found in many conventional synthesizers. It

has selectable high-pass, bandpass, band

elimination, and low-pass modes, and a

“wet/dry” balance parameter which allows

delicate variations in the degree of filtration

applied. Another important feature is key-

board cutoff tracking which varies the cutoff

frequency according to the key played.

Frequency Equalizer

This is a 5-band parametric equalizer with

frequency, Q (bandwidth), and level control.

The equalizer also has pre-EQ high- and

low-pass filters as well as key scaling capa-

bility for precise response control throughout

the instrument’s range.[Page 55]
