Playing And Editing Vl Voices; About The Vl Voice Section - Yamaha MU100R Owner's Manual

Playing and Editing VL Voices

Playing and Editing VL Voices
The VL section of the MU100R is a tone generator incorporating Yamaha's
revolutionary "Virtual Acoustic Synthesis" tone generation system. Based
on sophisticated computer physical modeling technology, Virtual Acoustic
Synthesis produces sound that is more realistic, more expressive, and more
musical than any other system to date.
The VL section is a monophonic* tone generator, with its own set of
separate controls, yet is completely integrated with the other Parts of the
MU100R. VL Voices can be used only in the XG and Performance modes,
and only one Part can be used to play a VL Voice at a time.
For more details on VL Voices, see "About the VL Voice Section," below.

About the VL Voice Section

Main Features
• Allows you to play back song data which has been programmed with
the VL-XG Voice data.
• Allows you to simulate the sound of acoustic musical instruments by ed-
iting the VL parameters directly from the MU100R (page 119).
• Allows you to play VL Voices with a WX11 Wind MIDI Controller (via
BT7) connected by MIDI to the MU100R.

• Editing VL-XG Voices
If you want to edit the existing MIDI files using VL Voices from the VL tone
generator section, you'll need to use an external sequencer which is capable
of editing system exclusive messages and transmitting the parameter changes
to the VL tone generator section. See MIDI Data Format for more informa-
tion on system exclusive messages.
