Yamaha VL70M MIDI Controller & Peripheral

VA Synthesis

Unique to Yamaha, computer-based "physical modeling" technology which accurately simulates the complex vibrations, resonances, reflections and other acoustic phenomena that occur in real wind or string instruments-to produce high quality monophonic voices.

Built-in Effects Section

With independent Reverb, Chorus, Variation and Distortion effects

Flexible Voice Editing Options

Although many parameters can be edited via the panel controls, peripheral voice editing software is available to give much more voicing flexibility. These can be obtained by downloading them from Yamaha XG-MIDI home page at: http//www.yamaha.co.jp.english/xg/html/libhm.html via Macintosh® systems

Visual Editor

An application with a graphical interface which allows you to make selections using easy-to-understand palettes and clickable buttons. (A Windows® version of the Visual Editor is also available.)

Analog Editor

An application with graphical interface which allows you to make selections using familiar analog-style knobs and switches.

Expert Editor

Provides full access to the complete range of physical modeling parameters, ideal for creating entirely new voices.

Compatible

Designed for compatibility with various types of external devices.

A WX In jack lets you connect a Yamaha WX-series Wind MIDI controller.

The "VL Extension for XG" feature significantly enhances and expands the musical capabilities of the XG format.

A TO HOST connector lets you connect a personal computer for editing, sequencing and other musical applications without a separate MIDI interface.
