About the Manuals

The VL1 comes with two manuals — Getting Started and Feature

Reference. If you’re just starting out with the VL1 we urge you to begin

with the Getting Started manual since it describes basic concepts and

procedures that are essential to proper operation of the VL1.

The Getting Started Manual

The Getting Started manual contains seven chapters that take you through

essential information and procedures you will need to know to become familiar

with your VL1:

1. VL1 Basics [≥ Page 8]

Basic concepts you’ll need to understand in order to get the

most out of the VL1.

2. The Controls & Connectors [≥ Page 16]

Brief descriptions of the VL1 controls and connectors, and their

functions.

3. Setting Up [≥ Page 22]

System connections, powering up, playing the demo, calibrating

the Breath Controller, and loading the pre-programmed voices.

4. Voice Selection [≥ Page 34]

Several ways to select and play the VL1’s 128 voices.

5. The Controllers [≥ Page 38]

The VL1 controllers and how they can be assigned and edited

for optimum control.

6. Mixing & The Modifiers [≥ Page 48]

Customizing the sound to suit your own personal needs.

7. Effects [≥ Page 58]

An overview of the built-in digital effects that you can use to

add depth and ambience to the VL1 sound.

We recommend that you go through the chapters in sequence and actually

try out the various operations described. Once you’ve gone through the entire

Getting Started manual in this way, you should be familiar enough with the VL1

to need only the VL1 Feature Reference manual in future.

5

Feature Reference

The Feature Reference Manual (this manual)

The Feature Reference manual is the “nuts and bolts” reference for

the VL1, individually describing its many functions in detail. The Feature

Reference manual is divided into five main sections, each describing the

various functions within a particular VL1 edit or utility mode.

1. General Operation [≥ Page 7]

2. Play Mode [≥ Page 13]

3. Edit Mode [≥ Page 21]

4. Utility Mode [≥ Page 151]

5. Appendix [≥ Page 177]

Once you have become familiar with the way the VL1 works by

going through the Getting Started manual, you should only need to refer

to the Feature Reference manual from time to time to get details on func-

tions you’ve never used before, or refresh your memory about functions

that you don’t use very often.

Each section of the Feature Reference manual has its own table of

contents, so you should be able to locate any particular function quickly

and easily. Functions and references can also be located by referring to the

index at the back of the manual.

Conventions

The following conventions are used through the VL1 manuals to

avoid confusion and make the text easier to read.

Buttons & Controls

Button and control names used on the VL1 panel appear in the text

in capital letters within a border: “the [ button”, for example.

Parameter Names

Parameter names and other labels which appear on the VL1 display

are printed in the courier typeface for easier identification: for

example, “adjust the “Balance” parameter as required”.

Parameter Ranges

An ellipsis is used to indicate a range of parameter values: e.g. “0

… 127”. This minimizes the confusion sometimes caused by the use

of a hyphen or dash for this purpose.

General Operation

The VL1 makes operation as easy as possible

by providing a consistent, logical control interface via

which its many functions and parameters can be

accessed and edited. Once you become familiar with

the system, operation should be smooth, efficient, and

easy.

General Operation

The Three Main Modes

The VL1 has three main modes: PLAY, EDIT, and UTILITY. Each of these modes

can be directly accessed by pressing the P, E, or U button, respectively.

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.

Pages 151 through 175.

General Operation

Finding Functions & Parameters

To facilitate access to the many functions provided, the EDIT and UTILITY mode

functions are organized into logical groups arranged in a hierarchical structure (the PLAY

mode is simple enough that it doesn’t require this type of structure). The basic structure

of the EDIT mode, for example, looks like this:

EDIT MODE

ELEMENT

EFFECT

CONTROLLER

MODIFIER

ENVELOPE

COMMON

MISCELLANEOUS

Here you can see that the EDIT mode functions are divided into two main groups:

COMMON and ELEMENT, and that these are further sub-divided into related groups of

functions. The COMMON EFFECT group, for example, includes all the effect parameters

(flange, reverb, etc.) that apply to the entire voice. Here’s how you would access the

reverb parameters, starting from the PLAY mode:

●

Example: Locate the Effect Reverb Parameters

1. Press E

Pressing the E button from the PLAY or UTILITY mode will normally take

you to the initial EDIT display page (if the current voice has already been edited but not

stored, you will automatically return to the last EDIT mode page that was selected).

2. Press ¡ (“Com”)

Since you want the effect functions, which are in the common group, press the ¡

function button (immediately below “Com” on the display).

10

Feature Reference

General Operation

3. If Necessary, Press ™ (“Efct”)

If the miscellaneous directory is showing (in this case “Misc” above the ¡ button

will be highlighted), press the ™ button below “Efct” on the display to select the

effect directory.

4. Move the Cursor To “4:Reverberation” and Press [

Use the cursor buttons (or the - and = buttons, or the data dial)

to move the cursor to “4:Reverberation” and press the [ button. This will

take you to the first page of reverb parameters.

NOTES ■ Notice that the top line of the display shows the “path” to the current

level or function: “

EDIT/COM/EFFECT/REVERBERATION

”.

This example illustrates the two methods used to move downward through the EDIT

mode levels: 1) press the appropriate function button and 2) move the cursor to the

desired selection and press [.

From any point within the structure you can move upward toward the topmost level

(in this case the initial EDIT mode display) by pressing the ] button. You move up

one level each time the ] button is pressed, until the topmost level is reached.

To exit from the EDIT mode itself you must press either the P or U

button, depending on the mode you want to switch to. You can exit from the EDIT mode

at any level by doing this, and you will be returned automatically to the same display

page the next time you press the E button as long as the voice being edited is not

stored or a new voices is not selected.

General Operation

Other Navigation Aids

In addition to the standard procedures described in the previous section, the VL1

sometimes provides additional help in moving between related functions via the function

buttons.

In this example display page from the ELEMENT CONTROLLER group, “Bpag”

(back page) and “Fpag” (forward page) appear above the § and ¶ function buttons.

In this case these buttons can be used to move forward and backward through the entire

list of controller functions so you don’t have to move up to the function directory and

then down to the next function every time you want to select a different element control-

ler page.

Also note the “Para” (Parameter) abbreviation above the • button. This enables

you to go directly to the parameters related to the current page: in this case the vibrato

parameters.

From here you can go back to the vibrato controller page by pressing the •

function button again (note that it is now labelled “Ctrl”), or to the vibrato key scaling

parameters by pressing ¶, below “KSC” on the display.

Another variation appears in the COMMON EFFECT parameter displays. In most

cases the number of parameters available for each effect exceeds the capacity of the

display, so the ¡ and ™ function buttons are used to scroll up and down the parameter

list — note the “>” and “<” arrows above the buttons in the display.

12

General Operation

Selecting & Editing Parameters

Once you’ve locate the display page that contains the parameter(s) you want to edit,

simply use the cursor buttons to move the cursor to the parameter, and then use the data

dial or the = and - buttons to set the parameter as required. The data dial is ideal

for quickly covering a large range of settings, while the = and - buttons are best

for small stepwise changes.

Play Mode

The primary function of the PLAY mode is to

allow you to select and play voices. The VL1 play

mode additionally offers a range of controller views

that let you check controller assignments, and simple

“quick edit” capability. Select the PLAY mode from

either the EDIT or UTILITY mode by pressing the

P button.

The Main Play Mode Display

When you select the PLAY mode by pressing the P button, the main PLAY

mode display will appear. This display includes a considerable amount of information in

addition to the name of the currently selected voice.

The abbreviations in the section separated by a line at the bottom of the display

(“Cnt1”, “Cnt2”, etc) indicate the functions of the corresponding function buttons

below the display (described below).

Voice Selection

The VL1’s 128 voices are organized into 8 banks of 16 voices each (8 x 16 = 128).

Any voice can be selected by specifying its bank using the bank keys (a through h),

and its number using the voice number keys (1 through ^).

To select voice “A7”, for example, first press the bank a key and then the voice

number 7 key. The bank a key indicator will flash until the voice number 7 key is

pressed and the D7 voice is actually engaged.

Note that when you select a different bank (or press the same bank button)

the voice directory for the selected bank will appear on the display, showing the names

of all voices in that bank with the cursor located at the currently selected voice number.

The VL1 returns to the normal voice display as soon as you specify the voice number.

You can also press the [ button if you want to stay with the same voice number.

To select a different voice within the same bank it is only necessary to press the

appropriate voice number key. To select a different bank, however, you’ll always have to

press both a bank key and a voice number key (or the [ key). This prevents un-

wanted voices from being selected until you’ve actually specified both the bank and

number of the voice you want to use.

Alternate Voice Selection Methods

● = and - Buttons

These are best for small, step-wise changes —

e.g. selecting adjacent voice numbers, or

numbers that are only a few steps away. Press

the = or - key briefly to decrement or

increment the voice number by one, or hold

either key for continuous decrementing or

incrementing in the corresponding direction.

The bank will switch automatically if you

cross a bank voice-number boundary.

● Data Dial

The data dial provides a fast, efficient way to

cover a broad range of voice numbers when,

for example, you’re looking for a voice but

don’t know the voice number. Simply rotate

the data dial clockwise for higher voice

numbers or counter-clockwise for lower voice

numbers while watching the display. The

banks are automatically switched when neces-

sary as the voice numbers are changed.

●

Using the Voice Directory

Although the voice directory appears automatically any time you select a bank, you

can have the directory displayed continuously if you find it more convenient than the

normal voice display. To switch to the voice directory display, press the • button —

located directly below “Dir” on the display. Voices are selected using the same methods

described above, and the cursor will move to the selected voice.

To return to the normal voice display press the ] or P button.
