Principle Of Operation - Yamaha VP-1 Owner's Manual

Controllers
The VP1 provides numerous controllers — including two modulation wheels, a modulation ball, a pitch wheel, and
two foot controllers.

Principle of Operation

As described above, you can use controllers to dynamically control up to thirteen of
each element's parameters during performance. Each element actually involves
hundreds of parameters; the set of parameters available for control is different for each
voice.
Each controller controls a single parameter (with the exception of the modulation ball,
which controls two parameters). In the factory-set environment, the VP1 assigns
parameters to controllers as follows.
Controllable parameter
Param 1 （MW1）
Param 2 （MW2）
Param 3 （FC1）
Param 4 （FC2）
Param 5 （MBx）
Param 6 （MBy）
Param 7 （CS1）
Param 8 （CS2）
Param 9 （BC）
Param 10 （VEL）
Param 11 （AT）
Param 12 （PB）
Param 13 （TEG）
To enhance flexibility, the VP1 allows you the freedom to rearrange some of the
controller assignments, as suggested by the illustration on the next page. (
REFERENCE: 1-10)
Each controller has a corresponding controller LED that indicates its status. The LED
is ON (green, solid red, or flashing red) if the controller is currently assigned, and OFF
if it is not assigned. For information about the difference between green and red
indications, refer to the section on "Scenes", below. (
