The System Parameters
The UTILITY SYSTEM sub-mode includes parameters that affect overall operation of the VL70-
m.
M.Tune
Master Tuning
Settings: -102.4c +102.3c
Fine tunes the overall pitch of the VL70-m in 0.1-
cent steps (a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone). The
maximum minus and plus settings produce a
downward or upward pitch shift of just over a
semitone. A setting of “+000.0” produces no pitch
change.
RcvSysExcl
System Exclusive Receive
Settings: off, on
This parameter determines whether or not the
VL70-m will receive MIDI system exclusive
messages. System exclusive data is received when
this parameter is “on”, and ignored when this
parameter is “off”.
TransmitCH
MIDI Transmit Channel
Settings: 1 16
Selects the MIDI channel via which data corre-
sponding to operation of a breath controller
connected to the VL70-m will be transmitted.
WX Lip
WX Lip Mode
Settings: Norm, Expd
WX-series Wind MIDI Controllers produce pitch
bend data ranging from “-16” to “+32” in response
to lip (reed) pressure. The “WX Lip” parameter
determines whether these values are used as is
(“Norm”), or expanded to a full “-64” through
“+63” range (“Expd”). When the “Expd” mode is
selected, the expanded pitch bend data is also
transmitted via the MIDI OUT and TO HOST
connector. The “Expd” setting is recommended
when using a WX controller in the “tight lip”
mode. The “Norm” setting is recommended when
using the WX controller “loose lip” mode.
WX LipLock
WX Lip Lock
Settings: off, on
When this parameters is “off” the VL70-m “WX
Lip” parameter (above) will be automatically set to
“Norm” whenever a MIDI “XG SYSTEM ON” or
“VOICE MODE ON” message is received. Turn
this parameter “on” if you do not want received
MIDI messages to affect the “WX Lip” setting.
