is described in the next section of this manual), and compare it with the D02 BaritonSax
voice. The difference should be obvious.
●
A04 Jazz Trumpt
Use this voice to play a trumpet phrase. Like the previous voice, you should fairly
easily be able to produce the sound of a trumpet played by a highly accomplished artist.
Version 2 allows a much more accurate simulation of the trumpet tubing, resulting in a
highly responsive, realistic trumpet voice. This voice is ideal for jazzy phrases.
Also try the following: press the £ (Cnt3) button to call the corresponding con-
troller assignment display, and note that the dynamic filter (“D.Filter”) is off. While most
PCM synthesizers — and even the original VL — employ a dynamic filter to simulate
timbral variations across the voice’s dynamic range, the Version 2 simulation is so
realistic that the dynamic filter is not needed. Note how the trumpet tone varies from soft
to hard in response to keyboard velocity.

B11 C Flute
Let’s use this voice to try a simple experiment which illustrates one of the new
features of the Version 2 physical modelling section:
1. Press the E button to select the edit mode. If the entry-level edit display
shown below does not appear when the E button is pressed, press the
] button a few times until it does.
2. Press the ™ (E1) button.
3. Press the ™ (Misc) button.
