 VL Part Parameter .......................................................................................

The parameters below can be divided into the following two types: ones for selecting the

controller (Control Number) by which the parameter will be controlled and the others

for setting the depth of the parameter. Even though you have designated the controller,

you cannot get audible changes if you set the parameter to be controlled to 0 or around 0.

For the relationship between the control numbers and controllers see page 23.

• Please note that pressure affects not only volume, but timbre and pitch as well. Accurate keyboard/controller

pitch is produced only at maximum pressure.

2. Pressure

Prs CC No. (Pressure Control Change Number) ..... Settings: off … 95, AT, VEL, PB

“Pressure” corresponds to the amount of breath pressure applied to a reed or mouth-

piece, or the speed of the bow applied to a string. Pressure variations affect both vol-

ume and timbre. The “Prs CC No.” parameter specifies the controller to be used for

pressure control. When set to “off” maximum pressure is applied at all times.

1. Filter EG Depth

FilEG Dept (Filter Envelope Generator Depth) ..................... Settings: -64 … +63

The “FilEG Dept” parameter determines to what degree the amplitude/filter envelope

generator affects the filter's cutoff frequency. Higher values allow the envelope gen-

erator to vary the filter cutoff frequency over a wider range.

IMPORTANT

When you use a sound card or a tone generator with no panel buttons...

To edit the VL part parameters you need to use a sequencing software and transmit the system

exclusive messages shown on the MIDI Data List (p. 36), to the “mother” sound card/tone generator.

Using the included “XGworks,” properly installed in your PC (which is connected to the sound card/

tone generator) allows you to access almost all the VL part parameters (except for Filter EG Depth)

for VL-XG voices through the “XG Editor window.”
