Setting Up
Stereo Sound System
The VL1 voices and effects are designed to sound their best in stereo, so you should
always use a stereo sound system to appreciate the full impact of the VL1 voices and
expressive features. The VL1 OUTPUT L and R jacks can be connected directly to
musical instrument amplifiers designed for keyboard use, or to the line inputs of a mixing
console. It is also possible to connect the VL1 outputs directly to the inputs of a
multitrack or stereo tape recorder.
NOTES If you need to drive a mono amp or other device the VL1 output can
be switched to mono — the same signal appears at the L and R outputs — by
using the Output parameter described on page 154 of the Feature Reference
manual.
Make sure that both the VL1 and your sound system are turned OFF when
making connections.
MIDI Connections
Like any other MIDI instrument the VL1 can be used with MIDI tone generators,
sequencers, computer software, and controllers for virtually unlimited system expansion
and control capability. You might, for example, like to control it from a Yamaha wind
controller such as the WX11 rather than the keyboard for even more realistic wind-
instrument feel and expression.
To ensure reliable error-free transmission of MIDI data always use high-quality
MIDI cables obtained from your Yamaha dealer or music equipment store. Also avoid
MIDI cables that are longer than about 15 meters, since cables longer than this can pick
up noise which can cause data errors.
The VL1 MIDI transmit channel, receive channel, local on/off, and device number
parameters are available in the utility mode “MIDI Setting” page described on page 155
of the Feature Reference manual. Make sure these parameters are set to match the corre-
sponding settings of the external MIDI device(s) used with the VL1.
The VL1 transmits and receives the following MIDI data:
The played key(s) and velocity value.
Modulation wheel, foot controller, breath controller, and other controller
data.
Voice numbers from 1 to 128.
Keyboard aftertouch pressure.
Pitch bend wheel position.
Voice and system parameters transmitted in the form of “bulk dumps”.
