Voice Selection

The VL1-m’s 128 voices are organized into 8 banks — “A” through “H” — of 16

voices each (8 x 16 = 128). These can be selected in sequence by using either the data

dial or the = and - buttons. Note that the voice number which appears on the

play mode display includes both the voice bank/number (“A01” through “A16”, “B01”

through “B16”, etc.) and the absolute voice number in parentheses following the bank/

number (“001” through “128”).

● = and - Buttons

These are best for small, step-wise changes —

e.g. selecting adjacent voice numbers, or

numbers that are only a few steps away. Press

the = or - key briefly to decrement or

increment the voice number by one, or hold

either key for continuous decrementing or

incrementing in the corresponding direction.

The = and - buttons also have a

largestep function which allows you to skip

ahead or backward in increments of 16: press

either the = or - button while holding

the other button. The bank will switch auto-

matically if you cross a bank voice-number

boundary.

● Data Dial

The data dial provides a fast, efficient way to

cover a broad range of voice numbers when,

for example, you’re looking for a voice but

don’t know the voice number. Simply rotate

the data dial clockwise for higher voice

numbers or counter-clockwise for lower voice

numbers while watching the display. The

banks are automatically switched when neces-

sary as the voice numbers are changed.
