The future of VL?


 
Edited

In 2011 I bought a second-hand Yamaha PSR-S910 arranger keyboard having found that on psrtutorial.com there were hundreds of style files for its predecessor the PSR-3000, which was the first top-line PSR to use a USB flash drive instead of floppy disks.? More recently I used in? a registration memory the S910's Super Articulation Saxophone voice, which combines the 4 General MIDI sax sounds into one, detects legato playing to switch seamlessly between monophonic and polyphonic modes, and adds breath noise by a footswitch.? I also found other VL-influenced sounds like GrowlSax, and also "MegaVoice Tenor Sax" which switches sax-type? effects based on velocity sensitivity.? So for now I will not develop this thread, but will keep VL Control Surface around for those who want a cheap way into VL.

I was unable to get the PSR-S910's sequencer to generate Sondius-XG midifiles, finding no way to override the selected PSR voice with the requisite Bank Select MSB 97, LSB 112 thru 119. These activate the VL-XG mode of the VL70m, PLG150VL, S-YXG100 and DS-XG (and possibly MU100R) but are treated as Bank Select MSB 0 LSB 1 (Key Scale Panning) by all non-VL XG synths. My Mid2VL program in VL Control Surface.zip could be used as a bit-hack to convert the bank select on channel 1, but it doesn't have the ability to add VL-XG system-exclusive part data (F0 43 10 4C 09 xx xx nn F7) as stored in my .syx initialisation files.
