Other Controller Views
If you press the ∞ function button from the play mode you’ll see the following
controller view:
The controller parameters listed in this screen are not in the same category as those
discussed in the preceding section, and therefore need to be introduced separately. All of
the related parameters will be discussed in detail in the Feature Reference manual (pages
listed below).
This line shows which controller is currently assigned to polyphony mono/poly
control.

Feature Reference manual, page 36)
Indicates whether sustain control is on or off.

The VL1 has three different pitch bend modes — Normal, Bottom, and Top.
The Bottom and Top modes are only effective when the Poly or Unison
polyphony mode is selected. When Bottom is selected the lowest of two notes
played will be affected by the pitch wheel, and when Top is selected the high
note will be affected. When the Normal mode is selected both notes are
affected.

The VL1 offers a choice of portamento modes with or without MIDI control
capability. This line indicates the current portamento status.

Feature Reference manual, page 40)
Any physical controller can be assigned to control certain of the VL1’s effects in
certain ways: the wet/dry balance of the pitch change effect, the feedback delay
send level, or the reverb send level. This line indicates which effect parameter
is assigned for control by which controller.

The § function button calls the Continuous Slider (“CS”) controller view, which
will look something like this:
The continuous sliders can not be assigned to the instrument controller parameters
listed above, but can be independently assigned to several other parameters that you can
control in real time while playing. The parameters available for editing via the continuous
sliders are individually preset for each voice. You can select from the available range by
using the “Continuous Slider” assignment function described on page 43 of the Feature
Reference manual.
The continuous slider view shows you which parameters are assigned to which
controller as well as the current positions of the controllers and their corresponding
values.
