other non-XG tone generators/synthesizers (see “VL Extension for XG”, page

● Effects
Each voice has its own effect settings which are recalled whenever the voice is
selected, so that effects become an important part of the individual sound of
each voice. As with edited voice data, edited effect data must be stored with the
voice before a new voice is selected otherwise the edited effects data will be
lost.

● MIDI Output
Normally, MIDI data received at the VL70-m MIDI IN connector is re-transmit-
ted “as is” via the MIDI OUT connector. The Note Filter function described on
page 99 can be used to filter out (i.e. block) note data transmission on specified
channels.
