NOTES For detailed MIDI specifications refer to the “MIDI Data Format”
section in the “Voice Lists & MIDI Data for Version 2” document.
When using the VL1-m Ver.2 with other MIDI equipment, it is a good idea to
refer to the MIDI specifications (implementation chart, MIDI data format) of the
equipment used to ensure compatibility.
Load the Pre-programmed Voice Data
Although the factory pre-programmed voices are stored in the instruments internal
memory when it is initially shipped, there is always a possibility that all or part of the
memory has been erased or modified by the time the instrument gets to you. Its a good
idea to re-load all the pre-programmed data from the supplied FACTORY SET voice
disk, as follows.
NOTES Loading the pre-programmed voices overwrites any other data that is
in the internal memory, so if you have any important voices in memory make
sure they are safely saved to disk before loading the data, as described in the
Feature Reference manual:
