VL7 Version 2 Voices
●
File name: VL7_VER2.ALL
Loading this file with the “ALL” load option restores the VL7 Version 2 to its initial state as shipped from the factory.
The UTILITY/SYSTEM/BREATH MODE parameter is set to “Touch EG”, so until this is changed to “BC/WX” the breath controller or a
WX wind controller cannot be used. Many voices can be played more expressively with a breath controller, so for the notes, below, we
assume that the “Breath Mode” parameter is set to “BC/WX”.

A03 (003) AnaBottle This voice is a combination of an analog sounding square wave type sound with breath noise. It
uses the straight horn algorithm and new fricative waves. It has a very speedy response which is
fun for solos.

the cello and viola ranges.

A09 (009) Warm Dist Distorted amplified electric guitar.

are on the continuous sliders (CC16, CC17).
