Owner`s manual

The "Compensation" parameter group is second from the bottom of the "<Instrument>" page.
Since most sustained voices exhibit slight pitch variations in response to breath control
pressure changes, VL tuning is normally based on maximum breath pressure. Depending on the
voice, pitch may drop or rise when breath pressure is reduced below the maximum level. The
"Compensation" parameter can be used to compensate for this variation by either raising or
lowering pitch in response to breath pressure. Positive ("+") compensation values cause the
pitch to rise when breath pressure is reduced, while negative ("-") compensation values cause
the pitch to drop when breath pressure is reduced. Since the compensation requirements are
different in different pitch ranges, "Compensation" has corresponding key-scaling parameters
which can accessed via the ">" button to the right of the parameter.
5-4. Comment
This function allows a "comment" of up to 256 characters to be entered for each voice. Press
the "Comment" button in the upper section of the edit window to open the comment edit
window.
5-5. Response
The "Response" button in the upper section of the edit window "<Instrument>" page opens a
"Response" display which shows the acoustic impedance frequency characteristics of the S/VA
tone generator system as seen from the Pipe/String Driver. Refer to the VL synthesizer manual
for more information about the VL Pipe/String Driver.
6. System Data Editing
6-1. System Edit Window
The Expert Editor allows the VL system data to be edited as well as the voice data. Click on
the "System" button in the upper left corner of the voice list window to open the system data
edit window. Unlike the voice data, which is transferred to the connected VL synthesizer edit
buffer during editing, the system data is directly sent to the synthesizer's memory when the
system data edit window is opened, thereby immediately affecting operation. For example, if
the "Device Number" is "off" when the system data is transferred, the connected synthesizer
will not receive any subsequent edit data from the Expert Editor. In such a case it is necessary
to reset the device number to an appropriate value via the VL synthesizer interface before
editing from the Expert Editor can be continued.
Also note that the system data for the various VL-series synthesizer models is not all the
same. In order to be compatible with all VL models the Expert Editor provides all pertinent
parameters, some of which will be unnecessary and unusable depending on the VL model for
which you are editing.
To edit the "Greeting Message", "Micro Tuning 1", "Micro Tuning 2", or "Program Change Table"
data, double click in the data entry box to access the edit window for the corresponding
parameter.
