The small parameter numbers in parentheses apply in the VL-XG sound module mode.
Detune & Voice Level

(04): Detune
•Detune
•Settings: -12.8 … +12.7 Hz
The “Detune” parameter allows the pitch of the
VL70-m to be shifted slighlty upward or down-
ward to produce detune effects in relation to other
VL70-m units or other tone generators being used
with the VL70-m. Positive values shift the pitch
upward by the indicated amount in Hertz, and
negative values shift the...

Assignment & Expansion
06
(05): Mono/Poly
•Monophonic/Polyphonic Mode
•Settings: mono, poly
Selects the VL70-m monophonic or polyphonic
note mode. When the “mono” mode is selected
note output will always be generated as long as a
MIDI note-on message is being received. For
example, if you play key “A” on your keyboard
and then, while still holding “A”, play key “B”,
note “B” will sound but will switch back to note
“A” the instant key “B” is released. In the “poly”
mode however, sound output will stop...

The horizontal axis represents keyboard velocity
and the vertical axis represents output level.
Other Edit Parameters
• Polyphonic Expansion will not function when
the “06(05): Mono/Poly” parameter is set to
“mono”.

•Settings: Full, Fngr
Portamento produces a “slide” effect between
subsequently played notes. The “Portamento

slide is produced. When “Full” is selected the
portamento slide will occur between any two
subsequent notes when the “14(10): Porta Sw”
parameter, below, is “on” even if the first note is
released before the second is played. When
“Fngr”(Fingered) is selected the portamento slide

The Store Function
Once you’ve created a new voice in the edit mode, it’s necessary to store the
voice to one of the VL70-m INTERNAL memory locations otherwise the edited
data will be lost when a new voice is selected.

 NOTES
• Any previous data in the memory location to which the new voice is stored will be
erased. If you want to keep the previous data, save it to an external MIDI data storage
device via the UTILITY mode DUMP OUT function (page 100).
• The STORE function is not available in the...

the EDIT sub-mode menu. Press [EXIT] rather than [ENTER] if you want to
abort the store operation.

Effects & Effect Editing
The VL70-m features a versatile internal effects system which consists of four
independent effect stages: REVERB, CHORUS, VARIATION, and DISTOR-
TION. Of these the REVERB and CHORUS stages function as “system ef-
fects”, the VARIATION stage can be used either as a system or “insertion”
effect, and the DISTORTION stage always functions as an insertion effect. See
the signal-flow diagrams below for the different between “system” and “Inser-
tion” effects.

 NOTES
• When the...
