pressure or higher modulation wheel position),
while minus values cause a decrease in amplitude
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 amplitude.
21: Amp  Curve (VOICE mode only)
•Amplitude Curve
•Settings: -16 … +16
Determines the relationship between the controller
value and amplitude. When set to “+00” the
relationship is linear. That...

24: EmbLowrDpt (VOICE mode only)
•Embouchure Lower Control Depth
•Settings: -127 … +127
Sets the amount of variation produced by the
controller assigned to embouchure when the
controller is set to it minimum position (e.g. a
modulation wheel rolled all the way down). The
higher the value the greater the variation. Positive
values cause an increase in embouchure in re-
sponse to lower controller values, while minus
values cause a decrease in embouchure in response
to lower controller values. The...

27(17): TngCtrlDpt
•Tonguing Control Depth
•Settings: -127 … +127 (VL-XG Mode: -64 … +63)
Sets the amount of variation produced by the
controller assigned to tonguing. The higher the
value the greater the variation. Positive values
cause an decrease in tonguing in response to higher
controller values (e.g. increased breath pressure or
higher modulation wheel position), while minus
values cause an increase in tonguing in response to
higher controller values. The “Depth” setting is
reflected in the...

31: Scr Curve (VOICE mode only)
•Scream Curve
•Settings: -16 … +16
Determines the relationship between the controller
value and scream. When set to “+00” the relation-
ship is linear. That is, a change in the controller
value produces a corresponding change in scream
effect. 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...

represents the controller value and the vertical axis
represents breath noise.
• The amount of breath noise produced also
depends on pressure, so the breath noise curve
indicated by the graph at the bottom of the
display may not always accurately reflect the
perceived curve.Sets the amount of variation produced by the
controller assigned to growl. The higher the value
the greater the variation. Positive values cause an
increase in growl effect in response to higher
controller values (e.g. increased...

(24): Thr CC No.
•Throat Formant Control Change Number
•Settings: off… 95, AT, VEL, PB
“Throat Formant” controls the  characteristics of
the simulated player’s  lungs, trachea, and oral
cavity. Can add a realistic “roughness” to the
sound. The “Thr CC No.” parameter specifies the
controller to be used for throat formant control.
When set to “off”, no throat formant variation can
be produced via a controller, but a continuous
throat formant value is determined by the “39(25):...

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).

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...

49: Abs  Curve (VOICE mode only)
•Absorption Curve
•Settings: -16 … +16
Determines the relationship between the controller
value and absoprtion. When set to “+00” the
relationship is linear. That is, a change in the
controller value produces a corresponding change
in absorption. 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...

Filter & Envelope Generator Editing
The VL70-m has two envelope generators which can be independently pro-
grammed to produce time-based variations in the sound.
 Amplitude & Filter EG
The Amplitude & Filter Envelope Generator controls both the amplitude of the
sound and the cutoff frequency of the VL70-m filter from note attack to release.
This envelope generator has three parameters which can be edited via the VL70-
m panel: attack time, decay time, and release time. Amplitude control defines
the...
