Yamaha VL70-M PolyExpnd, AssignMode, 06(05): Mono/Poly, Assignment & Expansion

Assignment & Expansion06(05): Mono/Poly

•Monophonic/Polyphonic Mode

•Settings: mono, poly

Selects the VL70-m monophonic or polyphonic note mode. When the “mono” mode is selected note output will always be generated as long as a MIDI note-on message is being received. For example, if you play key “A” on your keyboard and then, while still holding “A”, play key “B”, note “B” will sound but will switch back to note “A” the instant key “B” is released. In the “poly” mode however, sound output will stop the instant key “B” is released.

•When “mono” is selected and the “14(10): Porta Sw” parameter is turned “on”, the “single-trigger” mode is engaged (i.e. the EG is not re-triggered if a new note is played while a previous note is held). In all other cases (e.g. the “poly” mode is selected or the “14(10): Porta Sw” parameter is turned “off”) the “multi-trigger” mode is engaged and the EG will be re-triggered every time a note is played.

07:AssignMode (VOICE mode only)

• Assign Mode

• Settings: Botm, Top, Last

Determines which note will be played when more than one note is played at a time. When “Botm” (Bottom) is selected only the lowest note in a group of notes played simultaneously will sound. When “Top” is selected only the highest note in a group of notes played simultaneously will sound. The “Last” setting causes only the last note played to sound.

08:PolyExpnd (VOICE mode only)

• Polyphonic Expansion

• Settings: 0ff, 02>01, 02>02, 03>01, 03>02, 03>03 … 32>32

This parameter is used when several VL70-m units are used together to increase the number of notes which can be played simultaneously (polyphony). The number preceding the “>” should be set to correspond to the number of VL70-m units to be used. The number following the “>” should be set to a different consecutive number for each VL70-m unit. For example, if you use four VL70-m units their “PolyExpnd” parameters should be set as follows:

VL70-m Unit No. PolyExpnd Setting

104>01

204>02

304>03

404>04
