Breath Controller Calibration
If you will be using an optional Yamaha BC2 Breath Controller connected to the
VL1-m Breath Controller jack, it must be properly calibrated to achieve the best possible
sound from the VL1-m. Although the BC2 Breath Controller is factory-calibrated to
match most requirements, we recommend that you carefully calibrate it for optimum
performance with your own playing style.
1.
Make Sure the Breath Controller Is Connected
Make sure the breath controller is properly connected: turn the power OFF, plug in
the breath controller, then turn the power ON.
2.
Select the Utility Mode System Page
Press the U button to select the utility mode. Then, if it is not already se-
lected when the utility mode display appears, press the ¡ button to select the "Sys-
tem" function page.
3.
Go To the Utility Mode BC Curve Page
Use the cursor buttons to move the cursor to "4:BC Curve", then press [
to call the "Breath Control Curve" function page.
4.
Adjust the Breath Controller Offset
The following adjustment must be performed while not blowing into the breath
controller mouthpiece. Do not hold the breath controller in your mouth.
Rotate the breath controller OFFSET trimmer slowly clockwise, using the supplied
screwdriver, until the vertical cursors above and below the curve graph move slightly to
the right and the number below the graph is greater that "0". Then slowly rotate the
trimmer carefully counter-clockwise until the number below the graph just reaches "0"
(the cursors will be lined up with the left end of the graph), then stop. This completes the
offset adjustment.
