Octave SW Hold
¯ off, on, Half PB, Full PB
New settings for the Octave SW Hold parameter allow the octave hold
switches to be used as trill switches to produce semitone and whole-tone trills. When
Half PB is selected pressing the UP or DOWN octave hold switch shifts the pitch up
or down by a semitone. With the Full PB setting the octave hold switches shift the
pitch a whole tone. In both cases pitch returns to normal when the switch is released.
NOTES Do not use the octave hold switches while operating the PITCH
wheel!

UTIL/SYSTEM/TG SETTING
WX Lip
¯ Normal, Expand
The keyboard-based VL models the VL1 Ver.2 and VL7 Ver.2 now include
the WX Lip parameter originally found only in the VL1-m.
This parameter can be set to Expand when using a WX11 or WX7 Wind Con-
troller in the tight-lip mode to expand the normally limited lip pitch bend range of these
controllers to the full range available on the VL instrument. Set to Normal when using
a WX11 or WX7 in the loose-lip mode, or when using an external keyboard or other non-
wind controller.
