@4 FOOT CONTROLLER 1 and 2 Jacks
These jacks accept Yamaha FC7 Foot Controllers which can be used to control any
of the VL1’s controller parameters. One FC7 Foot Controller is supplied with the VL1,
and this should normally be plugged into the FOOT CONTROLLER 2 jack. The second
FC7 foot controller is optional.

@5 FOOT SWITCH 1 and 2 Jacks
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch can be connected to one or both of
these jacks for sustain, portamento, and other control functions.
Getting Started page 23.
@6 MIDI IN, OUT and THRU Connectors
The MIDI IN connector receives the data from an external sequencer or other MIDI
device which is to control or transmit data to the VL1. The MIDI THRU connector
simply re-transmits the data received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing convenient
chaining of MIDI devices. The MIDI OUT connector transmits data corresponding to all
VL1 performance operations, or bulk data when one of the MIDI data transmission
functions are activated.
