Voice Lists ■ VL1/VL1-m Version 2 Voices ● File name: VL1_VER2.ALL Loading this file with the “ALL” load option restores the VL1 Version 2 to its initial state as shipped from the factory. The UTILITY/SYSTEM/BREATH MODE parameter is set to “Touch EG”, so until this is changed to “BC/WX” the breath controller or a WX wind controller cannot be used. Many voices can be played more expressively with a breath controller, so for the notes, below, we assume that the “Breath Mode” parameter is set to “BC/WX”.
Voice Lists ● Voice number Voice name Voice explanation C01 (033) Ossyncro An analog synthesizer, oscillator-sync, cross-modulation sound. C02 (034) SopranoSax Try using after touch. C03 (035) FlutoPhone Flute/Sax hybrid. Velocity is assigned to Embouchure, producing an interesting unstable attack in the upper registers for fast staccato trills in intervals a fifth or more. C04 (036) FlugelHorn A flugelhorn simulation with outstanding expressive characteristics in the low-pressure range.
Voice Lists 4 ● Voice number Voice name Voice explanation E01 (065) AnorakSyn Unstable oscillator analog synth. E02 (066) Bell Miked A simulation of saxophone miked close to the bell. E03 (067) Taped Jet Analog tape sampler type sound. Could be flute or recorder. E04 (068) MelTrump Mellow trumpet. E05 (069) Birdland A sound somewhere between an analog synthesizer and electric bass. The bass harmonics are emphasized in the high range.
Voice Lists ● Voice number Voice name Voice explanation G01 (097) AirSqeezer Simple octave analog synth. G02 (098) Nat Tenor Tenor sax with a unique attack. G03 (099) Sarangi Traditional Indian string instrument. Use aftertouch vibrato and pitch bend for microtonal ornaments, and for timbral variation. G04 (100) Cornet A cornet for easy-listening styles. G05 (101) Square Synth bass with emphasized filter. G06 (102) Nu Viola Mellow, woody viola. Range C2-G6. MW2 (CC13) for tremolo.
Voice Lists ■ VL1/VL1-m Version 2 WX Voices ● File name: VL1V2_WX.ALL The 32 voices included in this file have been programmed specifically for optimum playability with a Yamaha WX-series wind controller (WX7/WX11). It is assumed that you will be using the WX Tight Lip mode (see Note 1, below). Also, make sure that the VL1 Version 2 or VL1-m Version 2 UTILITY/SYSTEM/TG SETTING “WX Lip” parameter is set to “Expand” (see Note 2).
Voice Lists ● Voice number Voice name Voice explanation B01 (017) MildAltSax Alto sax with excellent mid- to high-range projection. Ideal for rock and pop styles. B02 (018) JazzBone Soft timbre on soft passages; brighter when played fortissimo. B03 (019) BrightTenr Tenor sax with a solid attack. B04 (020) Clarinet 2 A clarinet simulation with realistic pitch and timbre variation in response to lip pressure. Very expressive. B05 (021) Blues Harp A blues harp suitable for punchy lines.
Voice Lists ■ VL7 Version 2 Voices ● File name: VL7_VER2.ALL Loading this file with the “ALL” load option restores the VL7 Version 2 to its initial state as shipped from the factory.
