■ 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”.
Many of these voices can also be used on the VL7 Version 2, so load them and give them a try.

or at minimum position for darker sound.

Ab5.

of breath noise and has a very speedy response which is fun for solos.

A05 (005) Stick A “hard and sticky” bass sound … similar to one often used by Peter Gabriel.

B02 (018) Tenor Sub Sax with a strong sub-tone content. A good choice for jazzy phrases.
B03 (019) SaxyTrump A strange combination of a trumpet-like sound mixed with a saxophone sound. Higher breath

B05 (021) FingerBass A fingered bass simulation.
B06 (022) Cello A natural-sounding cello simulation.

are on the continuous sliders (CC16, CC17).

B09 (025) GuitarHero A distortion guitar. Controlling the feedback with aftertouch is particularly effective.
B10 (026) DynaTp&Sx A trumpet and sax ensemble using the new dynamic split capabilities of Version 2. The split point is
C4 when the voice is initially selected, but will shift dynamically according to what you play. Add
vibrato with aftertouch.
B11 (027) C Flute Flute for a wide range of musical styles.
B12 (028) Moby Mysterious sound in which the basic sound components increase successively as the key is
gradually pressed. Best features brought out with aftertouch.

B15 (031) Mute Boyz Unison layered muted trumpets. PB controls embouchure to create parallel tuned intervals. PB at
minimum transposes element 1 down a 4th, 3rd or minor 3rd, and PB at maximum transposes
element 2 up a 4th, 3rd or minor 3rd (key range dependenent) .
B16 (032) Wah Man Cry-baby wah-pedal effect on the BC.
