17.
Use the cursor buttons to highlight "09: Growl".
18.
Press [ to go to the GROWL parameter page.
19.
Make sure that "off" is highlighted — if not, use the
cursor buttons to highlight it.
20.
Press - to set the growl controller assignment to
"Modulation Wheel".
21.
Now try operating the modulation wheel (MW1) while
playing the keyboard. The wheel should control the growl
effect.
Multiple Functions to One Controller
Lets try adding aftertouch "scream" control to a
Shakuhachi voice.
1.
Since we won't be using the breath controller, foot
controller, or footswitch for this experiment, begin by
disconnecting them from the instrument. Just disconnect
the breath controller from the VL1-m Ver.2.
2.
Roll the modulation wheel (MW1) all the way towards
you.
3.
Make sure the P button indicator is lit. If it is not,
press the P button to engage the PLAY mode.
4.
Select voice number A03 — the "Shakuhachi" voice.

VL Version 2
. .
Although this is a simple example of how controller
. .
functions can be changed as required, it does demonstrate the
. .
versatile playability provided by the VL system.
.
. .
Before going on to the next experiment, cancel the edits
. .
you just made as follows:
. .
. .
22.
Press P to return to the PLAY mode. Note that an
. .
. .
inverse "E" appears to the left of the voice number in the
. .
upper left corner of the display, indicating that the voice
.
has been edited but not yet stored.
. .
. .
23.
Press the number 1 voice button on the VL1 Ver.2 or
.
VL7 Ver.2. On the VL1-m Ver.2 press - and then
. .
=. The "E" will disappear and the original pre-edit
. .
.
voice will be restored.
. .
. .
. .
This technique can be used as a safety feature when
.
. .
editing: to restore the original voice after making one or more
. .
edits, simply return to the PLAY mode and re-select the same
.
voice number without storing the voice. As long as the edited
. .
voice has not been stored, the same result can be achieved by
. .
selecting a different voice. The EDIT RECALL function
.
. .
described in the Feature Reference manuals can also be used to
. .
restore a voice that has not yet been stored.
.
. .
.
.
5.
. .
Roll the VL1 Ver.2 or VL7 Ver.2 MODULATION 2
. .
wheel up to its maximum position. This step is not
.
necessary on the VL1-m Ver.2.
. .
. .
6.
Press the £ (Cnt) function button to call the CON-
.
. .
TROLLER VIEW 3 display.
. .
Note that "Aftertouch" is assigned to "Growl".
.
.
. .
.
.
.
. .
.
.
.
7.
. .
Play the keyboard and try varying the pressure applied to
.
the keys after the notes are played to hear how aftertouch
.
.
affects growl.
