capabilities. The songs on this disk can be reproduced using any sequencer or
computer-based sequence software which can handle SMF (Standard MIDI File

The VL70-m Voice Editing Software
— What It Is & Where To Get It —
The range of parameters accessible via the VL70-m programming interface
is limited to the simplest “upper level” of virtual acoustic synthesis parameters.
The “core” parameters which are the true foundation of physical modeling are
extremely complex, and were therefore not made directly accessible.
The VL70-m Expert Editor voice editing software provides full access to the
complete range of physical modeling parameters. It can be used alone to create
new voices, or edit voices loaded from the VL70-m. The VL70-m Expert Editor
is basically a refined version of the editing software Yamaha voicing profession-
als use to create original voices for VL-series synthesizers and tone generators.
It therefore gives you full professional-level programming power and potential.
Another handy VL editing software is the VL Visual Editor. The VL Visual
Editor makes it easy for anyone to create new VL voices via a graphic, easy-to-
use editing interface. The VL70-m Expert Editor can read voice files created by
the VL Visual Editor, allowing further in-depth programming.
