There's More - Yamaha VL1 Owner's Manual

I
n this brief introduction to VL1 basics we've only looked at the
central physical model which is the key the VL1's unprecedented
sound and musical performance. There's actually much more to it. To
begin with the VL1 actually has two elements which function as independ-
ent physical models. Although it is basically a monophonic solo instru-
ment, this means that the VL1 can produce two notes at once. More com-
monly the two elements are used as layers of a single voice.

There's also an extensive range of other functions and features that
are similar to those you may be familiar with from conventional synthesiz-
ers. There are, for example, a range of programmable envelopes that can
be applied to most of the controllers in addition to real-time player con-
trol. And, of course, there's a comprehensive selection of MIDI, disk, and
other utility functions that give the VL1 maximum versatility and conven-
ience.
Now that you understand the basics, dive in and find out what the
VL1 can really do.
