When the VOICE sound module mode is selected (see “The VL70-m Sound
Module Modes, page 27), pressing the [PLAY] button engages the VL70-m
VOICE PLAY mode. This mode allows voices to be selected and played, and
thus is the mode you’ll normally use when playing the VL70-m. The VOICE
PLAY mode also provides access to several important performance parameters
including volume, panning, etc. The VOICE PLAY mode actually has two
control modes — the main control mode and the sub-control mode — which
provide access to different sets of parameters, as described below.
The VOICE PLAY Mode
The VOICE PLAY Main Control Mode
This mode is initially selected when the VL70-m power is turned on. If the
sub-control mode is active (see page 34), the main control mode can be
selected by simultaneously pressing the PART [-] and [+] buttons. The VOICE
PLAY main control mode display looks like this:
PART
MIDI
BANK/PGM
VOL
EXP
PAN
REV
CHO
VAR
KEY
The various parameters in this mode are selected via the SELECT [<] and [>]
buttons. The name of the currently selected parameter appears in the upper right
corner of the display (when the bank and program number parameters are
showing a solid triangular pointer indicates which of the two parameters is
selected). A small triangular pointer appears above the icon corresponding to the
selected parameter in the bottom line of the display. Once the desired parameter
has been selected, it’s value can be set as required via the VALUE [-] and [+]
buttons.
