Voice Organization
The VL voices have each program number and are organized into 12 banks. For the voice list see
page 36.

• Banks 112 through 119: VL-XG Banks

These banks are used when the PLG150-VL functions as the VL-XG tone generator.
The voices from the PRESET 1 and PRESET 2 banks are assigned to MIDI banks and program
change numbers conforming to the Yamaha XG format.
Since the PLG150-VL does not have a full set of XG-compatible voices, some voice numbers will be skipped (e.g.
22, 23, 25, 27, etc.). If the truncated number is designated, the XG voice having the same program number in the
bank 1 will sound, instead.

• Bank 000: PRESET 1 (Pr1)

The PRESET 1 bank contains 128 preset voices which have been created primarily to be played via a
keyboard.

• Bank 001: PRESET 2 (Pr2)

The PRESET 2 bank contains 128 preset voices which have been created to provide maximum
expressive capability when played with a breath controller or WX-series Wind MIDI Controller.

• Bank 002: CUSTOM (Cst)

The CUSTOM bank has 6 memory locations (program numbers 001 - 006) in which you can load the
voices created by the Yamaha VL Visual Editor (p. 7).
The loaded voices cannot be backed up. When the “mother” tone generator/sound card is turned off,
the voices are reset to their defaults, the sound-effect type voices from the PRESET banks.

• Bank 003: INTERNAL (Int)

The INTERNAL voices of the VL70-m can be received and loaded (bulk data). The loaded voices
cannot be backed up. When the “mother” tone generator/sound card is turned off, the voices are reset
to their defaults, the voices from the PRESET banks, set up to be played via a WX-series Wind MIDI
Controller.
●The edited voices cannot be stored in the INTERNAL voice bank.
●(When using a synthesizer/ tone generator) Saving a performance containing a VL voice as a part records the
program number of the VL voice and the VL parameter settings edited on the “mother” synthesiz er/ tone gener-
ator.
●The VL-XG voices edited with XG Editor Window of the “XGworks lite” can be saved as a part of the song data.
●Note that the “program numbers” here are 001–128 and the “MIDI program change numbers” are 000–127.
When selecting voices (programs) using an external MIDI device, subtract a value of “1” from the “program
numbers” to match the “MIDI program change numbers.”
