Yamaha VL70-M Breath Controller

Breath Controller

If you will be using the VL70-m with a keyboard, a breath controller is an essential expressive tool — both for realistic expression with wind-instrument voices and unprecedented expressive control with string voices. Plug an

optional Yamaha BC3, BC2 or BC1 Breath Controller into the front-panel breath controller jack. If the controlling MIDI keyboard has a breath controller jack, it might be more convenient to plug the breath contoller in there rather than directly into the VL70-m. The Breath Controller is ideal for controlling parameters that would normally be affected by a wind player’s breath: dynam- ics, timbre, pitch, and others.

■IMPORTANT!

•If you will be using a BC3, BC2, or BC1 breath controller plugged into the BREATH jack, the “Breath Mode” parameter must be set to “BC/WX” (page 96). This is also necessary if you plug the breath controller into the keyboard’s breath controller jack.
