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”.

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.
