VL Voice Edit
Editing VL-XG Voices
If you want to edit the existing MIDI files or create a MIDI song using various VL-XG
voices from the PLG100-VL, you need to use a sequencing software which is capable of
editing the system exclusive messages and transmit bank select/program change messages
and/or parameter changes to the PLG100-VL. See MIDI Data Format (p.34) for more
information on the system exclusive messages.
However, using the XG Editor Window of the included music sequencing software,
“XGworks” or “XGworks lite” (a Windows application, provided in the included CD-
ROM) lets you visually and easily enter the VL program change data and edit its data
instead of inputting rather complicated system exclusive messages.
Creating Your Own VL Voices
Even if you have no experience in voice creation, the “VL Visual Editor” (also provided in
the included CD-ROM) lets you easily create VL voices. The “VL Visual Editor” is one of
the plug-in software for the “XGworks” (P.10).
• To use the “XGworks” and “VL Visual Editor” you need to connect the “mother” tone generator/sound card
to your PC, and properly set the “Driver” and “Input/Output devices.” For the details refer to the owner’s
manual of the “XGworks.”
