VP1 OWNER’S MANUAL
Features
Revolutionary Virtual-Acoustic Sound System
The VP1’s VA (virtual acoustic) sound production is entirely different from
techniques used on conventional synthesizers. The system generates a computerized
model of the target instrument’s acoustic characteristics, creating a virtual instrument
that sounds and feels like the real thing.
Conventional synthesizers create sound by mixing monotone oscillations or by processing
a memorized set of waveform samples. Results are often uninteresting, or too far from what
you are aiming at. You can try to improve the sound by manipulating a host of seemingly
arbitrary settings, but the process frequently becomes tedious and discouraging.
Yamaha’s VA system changes this picture entirely. Operation is intuitively
reasonable, and the resulting sound is far more realistic.
The VP1 utilizes an F/VA (free-oscillating VA) sound system — one of the two
variants of the VA approach. The system creates a computerized model consisting of
two modules: a “driver” component and a “string” component. The driver component
simulates the action of the striking system (analogous to the action of a pick or finger
against a guitar string), while the string component simulates the action of the
vibrating system (analogous to the combination of the guitar’s string, fret, and bridge).
The VP1 fine-tunes the properties of each of these modules to produce a virtual
instrument with an extremely realistic sound.
You can use the VP1 to reproduce the sound of existing acoustic instruments, or to
design fanciful virtual instruments that could never exist in the real world. Regardless
of the type of instrument you choose, the resulting sound will have an authentic, real-
world quality not available from conventional synthesizers.
Powerful Controllers
The VP1’s powerful controllers allow you to achieve an expressive range previously
available only to skilled performers of acoustic instruments.
Consider a guitar player. The guitarist’s sound is determined not just by the finger on
the fret and the pick against the string. Many different actions are involved — the force
and direction of the pick, the left hand’s muting, vibrato, glissando, and trill effects,
the right hand’s muting and harmonic effects, the motion of the right arm, and so on.
It would be impossible to simulate all of these different actions using only the
keyboard. This is why the VP1 supports a full assortment of controllers — a pitch
wheel, two modulation wheels, a two-directional modulation ball, a breath controller,
two foot controllers, two foot switches, and two continuous sliders. By mastering the
use of these controllers, you can achieve a high level of expressiveness on any voice
you happen to be playing.
