Yamaha VL70-m User Manual

Sets the amount of variation produced by the
controller assigned to damping. The higher the
value the greater the variation. Positive values
cause a decrease in damping in response to higher
controller values (e.g. increased breath pressure or
higher modulation wheel position), while minus
values cause an increase in damping 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 damping.

• Damping Curve
• Settings: -16 … +16

Determines the relationship between the controller
value and damping. When set to “+00” the rela-
tionship is linear. That is, a change in the controller
value produces a corresponding change in damp-
ing. 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
damping.

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

“Absorption” simulates the effect of high-fre-
quency loss at the end of the air column or string.
The “Abs CC No.” parameter specifies the control-
ler to be used for absorption control. When set to
“off”  no absorption variation can be applied via a
controller.
•

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

•

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

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

Sets the amount of variation produced by the
controller assigned to absorption. The higher the
value the greater the variation. Positive values
cause a decrease in absorption in response to
higher controller values (e.g. increased breath
pressure or higher modulation wheel position),
while minus values cause an increase in absorption
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 absorption.
