or lower than “-01”) for harmonic enhancer
control to have any effect.

•

Since most VL70-m voices have sufficient
natural harmonic content, the Harmonic En-
hancer is actually only used on a few voices.
Therefore changing the controller destination
with many voices will produce either no change
in the sound or a simple change in amplitude.
For detailed harmonic enhancer programming
use the VL70-m Expert Editor software (page
25).

• Harmonic Enhancer Control Depth
• Settings: -127 … +127 (VL-XG Mode: -64 … +63)

Sets the amount of variation produced by the
controller assigned to the harmonic enhancer. The
higher the value the greater the variation. Positive
values cause an increase in harmonic enhancer
depth in response to higher controller values (e.g.
increased breath pressure or higher modulation
wheel position), while minus values cause a
decrease in harmonic enhancer depth in response to
higher controller values. The “Depth” setting is
reflected in the graph at the bottom of the display
— the horizontal axis represents the controller
value and the vertical axis represents harmonic
enhancer depth .

 (VOICE mode only)

• Harmonic Enhancer Curve
• Settings: -16 … +16

Determines the relationship between the controller
value and harmonic enhancer depth. When set to
“+00” the relationship is linear. That is, a change
in the controller value produces a corresponding

change in harmonic enhancer depth. As the curve
value increases the lower end of the controller
range has relatively little effect on the sound while
higher controller values produce more dramatic
changes. Negative curve values have the opposite
effect: the sound changes dramatically at low
controller values while higher values produce
relatively little effect. The “Curve” setting is
reflected in the graph at the bottom of the display
— the horizontal axis represents the controller
value and the vertical axis represents harmonic
enhancer depth.

• Damping Control Change Number
• Settings: off… 95, AT, VEL, PB

“Damping” simulates the effect of damping due to
losses within the body of a wind instrument or in a
string due to air friction. Affects both pitch and
timbre. The “Dmp CC No.” parameter specifies the
controller to be used for damping control. When
set to “off”  no damping variation can be applied
via a controller.
•

Please note that accurate keyboard pitch is
produced only when damping is maximum.

•

The “DmpCtrlDpt” parameter, below, must be
set to an appropriate value (higher than “+01”
or lower than “-01”) for damping control to
have any effect.
