VL70-M Virtual Acoustic Tone Generator

Yamaha's half-rackspace monophonic Virtual Acoustic Tone Generator delivers rich, resonant acoustic sounds. The VL70-M module features 256 presets in 2 banks, VL-XG mode with effects, BC and WX input, and more. VA Synthesis unique to Yamaha offers computer-based physical modeling technology which accurately simulates the complex vibrations, resonances, reflections, and other acoustic phenomena that occur in real wind and string instruments to produce high-quality monophonic voices.

The tone generator's effects section includes reverb, chorus, variation, and distortion effects. While many parameters can be edited via the panel controls, Yamaha's website has peripheral voice editing software to extend your capabilities.
The Visual Editor GUI offers easy-to-understand palettes and clickable buttons. The Analog Editor software lets you make selections using familiar analog-style knobs and switches.

An Expert Editor application provides full access to the complete range of physical modeling parameters, ideal for creating entirely new voices.

Designed for compatibility with various types of external devices, a WX In jack lets you connect a Yamaha WX-series Wind MIDI controller. The "VL Extension for XG" feature significantly enhances and expands the musical capabilities of the XG format. A To Host connector lets you connect a personal computer for editing, sequencing, and other musical applications without a separate MIDI interface. Use your VL70-M Virtual Acoustic Tone Generator from a keyboard, a wind MIDI controller, or a guitar MIDI converter.
