Voice Selection

Selecting & Playing the VL1-m's 128 Voices
One of the first things you'll want to do with your VL1-m is select
and play some of its voices ... this section will show you how to do just
that.
1.
Select the Play Mode
Press the P button so that its indicator lights and the word "PLAY" appears in
the upper left corner of the LCD panel.
A considerable amount of information appears on the play-mode display in addition
to the name of the currently selected voice. Many of the functions relating to this infor-
mation will be covered later in the manual. For now, here are the basics:
Play mode.
Element E1 name: Alto Sax
Mono voice,
using a single element.
* If controllers are assigned to both Pressure and Amplitude, the con-
troller with the highest amplitude depth value will be displayed. If
neither is assigned, the Dynamic Filter controller will be displayed (if
assigned).
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: ¡ through •. These will be discussed later in this section.
