■ VL1/VL1-m Version 2 Voices
● File name: VL1_VER2.ALL
Loading this file with the “ALL” load option restores the VL1 Version 2 to its initial state as shipped from the factory.
The UTILITY/SYSTEM/BREATH MODE parameter is set to “Touch EG”, so until this is changed to “BC/WX” the breath controller or a WX wind controller cannot be used. Many voices can be played more expressively with a breath controller, so for the notes, below, we assume that the “Breath Mode” parameter is set to “BC/WX”.
Many of these voices can also be used on the VL7 Version 2, so load them and give them a try.

■ VL1/VL1-m Version 2 WX Voices
● File name: VL1V2_WX.ALL
The 32 voices included in this file have been programmed specifically for optimum playability with a Yamaha WX-series wind controller (WX7/WX11). It is assumed that you will be using the WX Tight Lip mode (see Note 1, below). Also, make sure that the VL1 Version 2 or VL1-m Version 2 UTILITY/SYSTEM/TG SETTING “WX Lip” parameter is set to “Expand” (see Note 2).
If playing is too difficult with these settings, try the Loose Lip mode and set the VL “WX Lip” parameter to “Normal”.
Note 1: The WX-series wind controllers have “Tight Lip” and “Loose Lip” modes. Refer to the WX7 or WX11 owner’s manual for details.
Note 2: When the VL1V2_WX.ALL file is loading using the “ALL” load option, the “WX Lip” parameter is automatically set to “Expand”.
In order to produce the correct pitch with a WX-series controller when the “Tight Lip” mode is selected, it is necessary to apply the right amount of pressure to the WX reed (i.e. sax-type embouchure). Adjust the WX controller so that a Pitch Bend value of “0”appears in the VL1-m monitor display screen (Press [F7] in the PLAY mode to see this display — see Note 3). The VL1 does not have a monito r display.
Note 3: When the WX controller is set to the “Tight Lip” mode and the VL “WX Lip” parameter is set to “Expand”, the Pitch Bend value in the monitor display should vary from “-64” to “63” in response to variations in lip pressure.
This selection also includes many voices which can be effectively played via a keyboard with breath control. Many voices are suitable for the rock and pop genres, so don’t overlook them for keyboard control.
The A01, A06, A10, and B14 voices are programmed with a delay vibrato effect (i.e. the vibrato effect comes in gradually after a note is played). To turn this effect off, set the “Sustain Lvl” parameter in the EDIT/E1/ENV/VIBRATO parameter page to “0”.

VL1/VL1-m Version 2 WX Voices 7
Voice Lists
■ VL7 Version 2 Voices
● File name: VL7_VER2.ALL
Loading this file with the “ALL” load option restores the VL7 Version 2 to its initial state as shipped from the factory.
The UTILITY/SYSTEM/BREATH MODE parameter is set to “Touch EG”, so until this is changed to “BC/WX” the breath controller or a WX wind controller cannot be used. Many voices can be played more expressively with a breath controller, so for the notes, below, we assume that the “Breath Mode” parameter is set to “BC/WX”.
