Set the Breath Mode to “Touch EG”
Once the Version 2 voices are loaded you’re almost ready to try them out —
“almost” because there’s one more step necessary to play the voices without a breath
controller:
NOTES■ The procedure below sets the breath mode to “Touch EG” so
“breath” control can be applied via keyboard touch response. This setting is
automatically selected when the VL1-VER2.ALL or VL7_VER2.ALL file is loaded,
so you may not need to bother with these steps if you’ve just loaded one of
these files. It is a good idea to check, anyway.

lected when the utility mode display appears, press the ¡ button to select the “
Sys-
tem
” function page.
2.
Set the Breath Mode to “Touch EG”
Use the cursor keys to move the cursor to “

easier response. The default values can be instantly recalled by pressing the • (
