Controller Views - Yamaha VL-1m Owner's Manual

Getting Started

Controller Views

In the PLAY mode, function buttons ¡ through § are used to select "controller
view" displays that list all controller assignments for the currently selected voice. In
particular, ¡ through ¢ display the assignments for the controller parameters listed in
the preceding chart (you can press the ] button at any time to return to the normal
play-mode display).
¡ : Voice B02
(Alto Sax)
™ : Voice B02

The controller parameters are listed in the left column of the controller view display, and the
controllers assigned to them are listed in the center column. Note that the right column is empty.
This is because the Alto Sax voice used for this example only uses one element, so the controllers
are listed in the central "Element1" column. In a voice that uses two elements the "Element2"
controllers are independently assignable and are listed in the right column.
In this example we can see that the Touch Envelope Generator is assigned to control
"Pressure". The pitch wheel controls both "Pitch" and "Embouchure", and the modulation
wheel controls "Vibrato". Keyboard aftertouch controls the "Throat Formant" parameter.
Note velocity controls both "Amplitude" and "D.Filter" (the Dynamic Filter). The
remaining parameters are currently "off" and therefore have no effect on the sound.
NOTES
