Mixer
Voices
The mixer adjusts the balance of the Direct and Send-to-effects outputs from the four
elements, controls equalization, and mixes in the effects. All mixer-related parameters
are accessible for editing.
Effects
The VP1 offers a choice of more than thirty effects, including reverb, chorus, flanger,
and pitch change. You can make fine adjustments to all of the parameters governing
these effects.
Equalizer
This is a four-band parametric equalizer. The Low and High bands utilize shelving-
type dynamic equalization.
The VP1's internal memory stores up to 64 voices, organized into four banks with 16
voices (01 to 16) each.
Bank A: 01 to 16
Bank B: 01 to 16
Bank C: 01 to 16
Bank D: 01 to 16
Each voice is uniquely identified by its "voice number" — its bank letter followed by
its number within the bank. "A01", for example, denotes voice 01 of Bank A. "C12"
is voice 12 of Bank C.
Each voice is also associated with a voice name (up to ten characters), a category (
BASICS: 3-21), and an optional comment (
FYI
• Within MIDI communications, voices A01 to D16 are identified by "program change
numbers" 00 to 63, respectively. If the VP1 receives a program change number of 17 from an
external sequencer, for example, it responds by selecting voice B02.
• The VP1 ignores program change numbers between 64 and 127.
• The VP1 does not support bank-select signals.
