BREATH CONTROLLERS.xlsx
If you want to buy a breath controller you will have to move fast, as in October 2011 Yamaha discontinued manufacture of the BC3A. This file now has all the sysex to assign transmit channel to 1 etc. for each relevant keyboard. This sysex can be copied then pasted into the Midi-ox Sysex window when you are creating Vl.syx, and if then sent to the keyboard will set up VL controllers (most notably control change 13, the default for Embouchure - which controls trumpet pitch and violin bow pressure - unless assigned to pitch-bend as it usually is for saxophones). I have not included some low-end keyboards like the DX21, DX27 and DX100 which are not velocity-sensitive. Nor have I included some high-end keyboards like the CS6X and S80 which can operate stand-alone with the PLG150VL plug-in board, and the EX5 which contains the equivalent of a VL70m anyway.

The future of VL?
2
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.

PSR-S910 with the VL Control Surface
I have updated VL Control Surface.zip with the new Mid2VL.For now, it converts only XG voices (such as those you would get out of XG-Gold) to VL. The PSR-S910's DSP1 is almost identical to the VL70m distortion block. The latter gives 3 options - Overdrive, Distortion and 3-band EQ - and supports insertion control depth only for Aftertouch and Assignable Control 1.

QY100 with the VL Control Surface
5
The VL Control Surface was developed using a Yamaha QY100 XG synth/sequencer/rhythm box. I programmed the QY100 to accept 3-, 4- and 5-note chords on notes C1-F2 on channel 4. As well as XG system exclusive, whose parameters were given as words rather than numbers, I could also insert non-XG system exclusive such as VL part data (F0 43 10 4C 09 xx xx nn F7). The QY100 also had an extra effects section with Overdrive, Distortion and Amp Simulator, but I did not try using this as if it were the VL70m distortion block (F0 43 10 4C 03 xx xx nn F7). The results are evident in vldemo.mid .

EL 900 VL and plg100vl in PSR9000Pro
8
I am repairing a EL900 from a nursing home and I have a PSR9000Pro and thinking of buying a PLG 100VL for it can I use your prog to edit and save the voices? Or can I download it and modify it to work? Thanks

VL Control Surface

1. If your keyboard has a foot volume pedal and no breath control, you may use the MidiOx map file to convert control change 7's (volume) on Channel 1 to control change 11's (expression) and merge BC-Expression.syx into Vl.syx. 2. A VL70m editor for Windows 7 and above is available at http://vl70m-editor.com/site 3. A forum for VL users is at https://yamahamusicians.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=161
