UTIL/SYSTEM/KBD SETTING

●
Octave SW Hold
¯off, on, Half PB, Full PB
New settings for the “Octave SW Hold” parameter allow the octave hold
switches to be used as trill switches to produce semitone and whole-tone trills. When
“Half PB” is selected pressing the UP or DOWN octave hold switch shifts the pitch up
or down by a semitone. With the “Full PB” setting the octave hold switches shift the
pitch a whole tone. In both cases pitch returns to normal when the switch is released.
NOTES ■ Do not use the octave hold switches while operating the PITCH
wheel!

UTIL/SYSTEM/TG SETTING

●
WX Lip
¯Normal, Expand
The keyboard-based VL models — the VL1 Ver.2 and VL7 Ver.2 — now include
the “WX Lip” parameter originally found only in the VL1-m.
This parameter can be set to “Expand” when using a WX11 or WX7 Wind Con-
troller in the tight-lip mode to expand the normally limited lip pitch bend range of these
controllers to the full range available on the VL instrument. Set to “Normal” when using
a WX11 or WX7 in the loose-lip mode, or when using an external keyboard or other non-
wind controller.
