General Operation
The PLAY mode is the one you use to select and play the VL1 voices.
The PLAY mode also includes several "Controller Views" that allow you
to check controller assignments, the status of several important
performance parameters, and the continuous slider assignments.
Pages 13 through 19.
All voice editing functions are accessed via the EDIT mode: controller
assignments, mixing, modifiers, effects, and more.
Pages 21 through 150.
The UTILITY mode includes a range of functions that affect overall
operation of the VL1 rather than individual voices. For example: master
tuning, MIDI settings, disk operations, etc.
