Playing and Editing VL Voices Playing and Editing VL Voices The VL section of the MU100R is a tone generator incorporating Yamaha's revolutionary "Virtual Acoustic Synthesis" tone generation system. Based on sophisticated computer physical modeling technology, Virtual Acoustic Synthesis produces sound that is more realistic, more expressive, and more musical than any other system to date. The VL section is a monophonic* tone generator, with its own set of separate controls, yet is completely integrated with the other Parts of the MU100R. VL Voices can be used only in the XG and Performance modes, and only one Part can be used to play a VL Voice at a time. For more details on VL Voices, see "About the VL Voice Section," below. * A "monophonic" tone generator plays only one note at a time.

About the VL Voice Section Main Features • Allows you to play back song data which has been programmed with the VL-XG Voice data. • Allows you to simulate the sound of acoustic musical instruments by editing the VL parameters directly from the MU100R (page 119). • Allows you to play VL Voices with a WX11 Wind MIDI Controller (via BT7) connected by MIDI to the MU100R. VL Voice Edit • Editing VL-XG Voices If you want to edit the existing MIDI files using VL Voices from the VL tone generator section, you'll need to use an external sequencer which is capable of editing system exclusive messages and transmitting the parameter changes to the VL tone generator section. See MIDI Data Format for more information on system exclusive messages. 62 Guided Tour
