Page 3 Owner’ s Manual Thank you for your purchase of the Yamaha VP1 Virtual Acoustic Synthesizer. The VP1’s revolutionary VA sound system offers a range of sounds and performance features not available from ordinary synthesizers. Please read through this manual to familiarize yourself with the VP1’s operation and its many superlative functions.
Page 4 You can try to improve the sound by manipulating a host of seemingly arbitrary settings, but the process frequently becomes tedious and discouraging. Yamaha’s VA system changes this picture entirely. Operation is intuitively reasonable, and the resulting sound is far more realistic.
Page 5 Generally speaking, each controller governs a single parameter. But each time you change the voice, the VP1 changes the parameter assignments accordingly — ensuring that you always have significant control over the most important features of the voice you are playing. You are also free to rearrange the parameters among the different controllers so as to achieve the configuration best suited to your own playing style.
Page 6 Using The Manual The manual you are holding is divided into two main sections — BASICS and REFERENCE. BASICS This section introduces you to basic information that will help you become familiar with your synthesizer. The section explains various precautions, tells you how to connect up the synthesizer, takes you through a trial run, and describes the basic principles of operation and sound production.
Page 7 Notations The following notational conventions are used throughout the manual to enhance clarity and readability. PLAY Denotes the PLAY button. All buttons are indicated by a rounded rectangular border enclosing the button (function) name. Note that the function name also appears on the synthesizer panel directly above or below the corresponding button.

Page 31: First Try
First Try Now that you have connected up the VP1 as described in Chapter 1, you are ready to try it out. Checking the Sound Output First, let’s check that the VP1 correctly generates sound. Procedure Press the POWER switch on the rear panel. Switch on the power to the amplifiers.
Page 32: Trying Some Voices
Trying Some Voices The VP1’s internal memory comes loaded with 64 voices: four banks (A to D) of 16 voices each. The next procedure illustrates the various methods for switching to different voices. Try playing a few of the voices to see how they sound. When you select a voice, the voice’s category and name appear in large letters at the center of the display.
Page 33: Using The Controllers
Using the Controllers Now let’s try using the parameter controllers and scene controller to alter the sound of “The sound of the Waterbell voice (voice A02)”. Important • The procedure below assumes that factory-default values are in effect for the Tone Generator ( 10) settings.
Page 34 Play on the keyboard while slowly sliding the SCENE CONTROLLER all the way to the left. The sound of the voice changes continuously as you slide the scene controller. The scene controller allows you to make smooth changes between scenes. Press SCENE2 LED comes on.
Page 35 Using Quick Edit The VP1’s Quick Edit capability allows you to perform simple voice editing during performance. The procedure below introduces you to Quick Edit operation. Refer to the next chapter for a detailed explanation about quick editing. ( Procedure Press bank button Press program button Check that the top line of the Quick Edit panel (EQ LOW, EQ LO-MID,...
Page 36 It is important to note that Quick Editing changes the voice’s characteristics — in effect, it creates a new voice. If you like the new sound, you can store it as a separate voice. ( BASICS: 3-28) If you do not like the editing results, you can cancel them by pressing the original voice’s program number (in the example above, number ), or by switching to a different voice.
Page 37: Playing The Demos
Playing the Demos The next procedure shows you how to play the VP1’s built-in demo selections. Important • Demos that use four-element voices tend to play out at high volume. Keep volume settings low to avoid the risk of ear damage. •...
Page 38 Chapter 3 Learning the Basics This chapter describes the principles of VP1 sound production, and explains the basics of controllers, scenes, quick editing, and other features. BASICS 3 - 1 Chapter 3 Learning the Basics...
Page 39: Sound Production
The VP1 employs the F/VA (free-oscillating VA) method, which provides truer modeling of instruments that are played by striking or plucking of strings. In contrast, Yamaha’s VL1 synthesizer adopts an S/VA (self- oscillating VA) approach more suited to modeling of wind and bowed-string instruments.
Page 40: Editing Limitations
Driver The “driver” is the component that applies vibrational force to the string. It is analogous, for example, to a pick that strikes a guitar string. To produce sound, the VP1 calculates the amount of force applied by the action of the “pick”, then applies this force to the “string”.
Page 41: Voice Formation
Voice Formation The following drawing illustrates the process used to generate a single voice. Elements A voice consists of up to four elements. Each element consists of a driver component, a string component, an LFO (low frequency oscillator), and an EG (envelope generator).
Page 42 Mixer 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.
Page 43: Memory Configuration
Memory Configuration The VP1’s internal memory is configured as shown. System Data The System Data area stores the settings made in SYSTEM mode. These settings are effective for all voices. The microtuning table contains information used during voice setup. Each voice’s “voice setup data”...
Page 44: Floppy Disks
Floppy Disks You can save all of the VP1’s internal data to floppy disk for safekeeping. Once you have saved the data, you can reload all or some of the voices at any time. Saving to disk The VP1 does not allow you to save selected voices only. In order to save, you must use the following operation: •...
Page 45: Principle Of Operation
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;...

Modulation Ball The modulation ball controls two parameters simultaneously —...
Page 47 Touch EG The Touch-EG controller governs crossfading of velocity and channel aftertouch (MIDI channel pressure). As an example, assume that touch-EG has been set to control vibrato. In this case, a hard strike on the keyboard causes vibrato to start immediately. If you continue to hold the key down lightly the vibrato gradually fades, but if you hold it down with force, the vibrato continues.
Page 48: What Is A Scene
Scenes The VP1’s innovative “scene” capabilities enable you to obtain a high level of dynamic control over sound and sound changes during your performance. What is a Scene? A scene is a memorized set of controller positions. Once you have stored a scene to memory, you can recall it at any time by pressing the corresponding SCENE button.
Page 49: Scene Controller
Scene Controller Use the scene controller to fade from one scene into another. The controller’s central position (click-stop) corresponds to Scene 2. For example, assume that the VP1 has stored the following three scenes. Scene 1 MODULATION 1 wheel Scene 2 MODULATION 1 wheel Scene 3...
Page 50: Scene Leds
MODULATION MODULATION You can use a foot controller to obtain the same control you get with the SCENE CONTROLLER knob. Simply connect the foot controller into the SCENE jack on the VP1’s rear panel. The foot controller’s highest position corresponds to Scene 1; the fully depressed position corresponds to Scene 3.
Page 51: Controller Hook Function
Controller Hook Function When you press a SCENE button or move the SCENE CONTROLLER, you effectively change most or all of the controller settings. But the controllers themselves do not move. This means that a discrepancy arises between the internal controller settings and the actual controller positions.
Page 52: Controller Leds
Controller LEDs Each controller has a corresponding LED that indicates its status. Some controller LEDs are located directly above their controllers (PITCH, MODULATION 1, and MODULATION 2 wheels), while others are lined up vertically just to the left of the keyboard.
Page 53: Quick Edit
Quick Edit The Quick Edit function allows you to perform simple real-time voice editing. General Description You use the Quick Edit panel to perform real-time editing of voice elements. Use the Quick Edit selectors ( parameters. During performance, you can essentially use these sliders as additional controllers.
Page 54: Storing Results
Using Quick Edit The VP1’s Quick Edit function is extremely easy to use. First press one of the selectors you need to edit. Next, adjust the parameter value by operating the slider located directly under the parameter name. (When you first move the slider, an appears in front of the voice number on the top line of the LCD, indicating that the voice is being edited.) The Controller Hook function described earlier (...

Quick-Edit Parameters The next two pages present brief descriptions of the 16 Quick Edit parameters. EQ LOW Sets the gain for the low band. ( gain value. EQ LO-MID Sets the gain for the low-mid band. ( EQ HI-MID Sets the gain for the hi-mid band. ( EQ HIGH Sets the gain for the high band.
Page 56 LFO DELAY Adjusts the voice’s (element’s) LFO delay — the gap between the time you strike the key and the time the LFO effect begins. Raise the slider to increase the delay. LFO HOLD Adjusts the voice’s (element’s) LFO hold time — the length of time that the LFO effect lasts.
Page 57: Midi Quick Edit Control
MIDI Quick Edit Control An external MIDI device can perform real-time editing of the Quick Edit panel’s highlighted parameters. The external device uses MIDI control-change signals to control the “internal” positions of the four Quick Edit sliders. (The sliders themselves do not move.) The four parameters available for editing are stored as voice data.
Page 58: Voice Categories
Voice Categories Voices are grouped into categories that indicate the general sound type. Referring to categories can help you keep track of what each voice sounds like. Category Listing Each category is expressed as a name of four characters or less. The following table lists and describes the available categories.
Page 59: Chapter 1 Play Mode
Modes The VP1 has three different operational modes. For detailed explanations of each mode, refer to the REFERENCE Section. PLAY Mode This is the mode that you usually operate in — the mode you use when playing the instrument or editing voices. While operating in PLAY mode, you can change voices and scenes, operate the controllers and Quick Edit sliders, and change various settings for each element or voice.
Page 60: Basic Operations
Basic Operations Here we describe some of the basic operations that you will carry out frequently as you work with the VP1. Switching the Mode Select the mode by pressing the appropriate mode button — DISK any time, regardless of the synthesizer’s current status. Selecting a Voice There are four methods you can use to change voices while in PLAY mode.
Page 61: Moving The Cursor
Selecting a Function The bottom line of the screen displays the names of the functions that are currently available for selection. You can select any of these functions by pressing the function button ( For example, assume that you have just entered PLAY mode, so that the screen appears as shown below.
Page 62: Changing Numerical Settings
Changing Numerical Settings Once you have moved the cursor to the item you need to set, you are ready to make the setting. To change a numerical setting, proceed as follows. Using the dial Rotate clockwise to increase the value, or counterclockwise to lower it. Speed of rotation determines how quickly the value changes.
Page 63: Entering Characters
Entering Characters Some functions allow you to input a name or include a comment. The Store function, for example, allows you to enter a new voice name, while disk functions allow you to name or rename a file. As an example, consider the following screen. This type of screen appears when you are about to store a voice to memory.
Page 64: Voice Editing
Voice Editing In this section we present some basic information you need before you can begin to edit voices. We recommend that you quickly become familiar with the “Store” and “Compare” operations, as these are essential to successful editing. General Editing Procedure To edit a voice, you begin with one of the voices supplied on disk, then customize the accessible settings to change its sound.
Page 65 Storing To retain the results of editing, you must store the edited voice to memory — assigning it a voice number, name, category, and comment. If you forget to do this, the results of your editing will disappear when you switch voices. The storing procedure is described below.
Page 66 Enter the voice name. Enter a voice name of up to ten characters. The entry procedure was described under the section entitled “Entering Characters,” above. ( When you have finished, press returns you to the previous screen. Press :[Ctgry] to set a new category. (If you do not need to change the category, jump to Step 7.) The category selection screen appears.
Page 67 Comparing While you are editing a voice, you can use the Compare function to compare the voice’s new sound against its original sound. When you start the compare operation, the keyboard sound temporarily reverts to the sound of the original (unedited) voice. The displayed parameter values and the red LEDs along the right of the Quick Edit sliders also return to their unedited status.
Page 68: Element Select And Element On/Off
ELEMENT SELECT and ELEMENT ON/OFF During editing, program buttons function, while program buttons function. ELEMENT SELECT and ELEMENT ON/OFF are special functions designed to facilitate editing. ELEMENT SELECT While you are editing, you can use these buttons to switch the element that you are working on.
