From the VL70-m manual: The VL70-m voices are organized into four main banks. Additional banks are used when the VL70-m is set to operatie in the VL-XG sound module mode. The four main banks are as follows: PRESET 1 The PRESET 1 bank contains 128 present voices which have benn created primarily to be played via a keyboard. PRESET 2 The PRESET 2 bank contains 128 presetn voices which have been creted to provide maximum expressive capability when played with a breath controller or WX-series Wind MIDI Controller. CUSTOM The CUSTOM bank has 6 memory locations in which voices can be edited in detail via an appropriate personal computer and the Ymaha VL70-m Expert Editor application software... INTERNAL The INTERNAL bank has 64 memory locations in which voices you have edited can be sotred and easy [sic] recalled for use as required... Banks 112 through 119 become available when the VL70-m is set to the VL-XG sound module mode. 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.). -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com http://www.cybmotion.com/aliaszone http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/directory.cgi?autostart=rz
