●Control Edit Parameter Descriptions

The small parameter numbers in parentheses apply in the VL-XG sound module mode.

Pitch Bend

01(01): PB Ctrl

•Pitch Bend Control

•Settings: -24 … +24

This parameter sets the maximum amount of pitch bend which will occur when the pitch controller is set to its maximum position (e.g. when the pitch bend wheel on a keyboard is rolled all the way up). Minus setting produce a downward pitch bend. Each increment corresponds to a semitone. A setting of “+12”, for example, results in maximum upward pitch bend of one octave.

•This setting automaically switches the plus/ minus status of the “PB LowCtrl” parameter, below: If “PB Ctrl” is set to a “+” value, “PB LowCtrl” is automatically switched to a “-” value, and vice-versa.

•Natural acoustic musical instruments have no “pitch parameter”. Pitch is determined by the properties of the instrument’s resonant body as well as the condition of the instrument’s driver. The same applies to Virtual Acoustic Synthesis: in the VL70-m pitch bend is simulated by manipulating the appropriate pipe/string length and driver characteristics. As a result, the pitch bend range may not always be “mathemati- cally” accurate.

02(02): PB LowCtrl

•Pitch Bend Low Control

•Settings: -24 … +24

“PB LowCtrl” sets the maximum amount of pitch bend which will occur when the pitch controller is set to its lowest position (e.g. when the pitch bend wheel on a keyboard is rolled all the way down).

Plus settings produce an upward pitch bend. Each increment corresponds to a semitone. A setting of “-12”, for example, results in maximum downward pitch bend of one octave.

03(03): PBLFO PMod

•Pitch Bend LFO Pitch Modulation

•Settings: 000 … 127

Sets the amount of LFO pitch modulation applied by the pitch controller (e.g. the pitch bend wheel on a keyboard). The higher the value the greater the amount of pitch modulation produced by pitch controller operation. A setting of “000” produces no pitch modulation.

•In the VL70-m pitch modulation produces extremely realistic vibrato effects by simulta- neously modulating the pitch, embouchure, and pressure parameters.
