Voice Organization
The VL70-m voices are organized into four main banks. Additional banks
are used when the VL70-m is set to operate in the VL-XG sound module
mode (page 29). The four main banks are as follows:
The PRESET 1 bank contains 128 preset voices which have been
created primarily to be played via a keyboard.
The PRESET 2 bank contains 128 preset voices which have been
created to provide maximum expressive capability when played
with a breath controller or WX-series Wind MIDI Controller.
The CUSTOM bank has 6 memory locations in which voices can
be edited in detail via an appropriate personal computer and
the Yamaha VL70-m Expert Editor application software (page
25). When the VL70-m is initially shipped CUSTOM voice num-
bers 001 through 006 contain a selection of sound-effect type
voices from the PRESET banks.
The INTERNAL bank has 64 memory locations in which voices
you have edited can be stored and easy recalled for use as
required. Unlike CUSTOM voices, INTERNAL voices can be edited
via the VL70-m panel controls. When the VL70-m is initially
shipped INTERNAL voice numbers 001 through 064 contain a
selection of voices from the PRESET 1 and PRESET 2 banks, set
up to be played via a WX-series Wind MIDI Controller.
Banks 112 through 119 become available when the VL70-m is set to the VL-XG
sound module mode (page 29). In the VL-XG sound module mode some voices
from the PRESET 1 and PRESET 2 banks are assigned MIDI bank and program
change numbers conforming to the Yamaha XG format. Since the VL70-m does
not have a full set of XG-compatible voices, however, some voice numbers will
be skipped (e.g. 23, 24, 27, etc.).

NOTES
• PRESET 1, PRESET 2, and CUSTOM voices can be edited via the VL70-m panel controls,
but the edited voices cannot be stored to the PRESET 1, PRESET 2, or CUSTOM bank.
Edited voices can only be stored to the INTERNAL bank, and only when the VL70-m is set
to the VOICE sound module mode (page 29).
• The factory preset CUSTOM and INTERNAL
voices can be restored by using the Factory Set
Initialize function described on page 102.
• Refer to the separate “List Book” for a com-
plete listing of the VL70-m voices.
• Use the MIDI bank MSB (control number 00)
and LSB (control number 32) numbers listed at
right to select VL70-m banks from an external
MIDI device. In the VOICE sound module mode,
the MSB is ignored (recognized as 33) and only
LSB numbers 0 through 3 are recognized.
