Selecting Voices
The VL voices can be selected as you do with the XG voices. However, you have to select XG
Mode or Performance Mode from the “mother” tone generator/sound card Sound Module Mode,
first. You also have to designate the Part, to which you want to assign the VL voice, in the Utility
sub-mode (PLUGIN).
• The sound cards like the SW1000XG do not include “Performance Mode.” Please check the owner’s manual of the
“mother” tone generator/sound card whether it include the Performance Mode, or not.
• The steps how to select a VL voice, set up the utilities and edit the VL part parameters shown below are explained
using the MU100. Therefore, the illustrations may be somewhat different from the LCDs of your instrument.
IMPORTANT
When you use a sound card or a tone generator with no panel buttons...
To select a VL voice, to set up the utilities and to edit the VL part parameters, you need to use a
sequencing software and transmit the MIDI messages such as XG System On, Bank Select MSB/
LSB, program change and parameter change to the “mother” sound card/tone generator, instead of
following the steps below.
Using the included “XGworks,” properly installed in your PC (which is connected to the sound card/
tone generator) allows you to access the VL-XG voices through the Voice List dialog of the “XGworks.”
