VL Editor

One of the issues with Yamaha's VL line of synths (hmmm, well with Yamaha in general really) is the availability and ongoing support of software for the MAC. In the case of the VL synths, the last editor / librarian for the MAC only runs under OS9.

One of the most popular librarians for the MAC is MIDIQUEST. I downloaded their demo but the module for the VL70 has no ability to actually edit the voices.

If all you want is a librarian, your best bet is the s n o i s e SysEx Librarian

My problem was solved when a kind soul posted a link to Bruno Degazi's site. His VLONE/70 edits both the VL70 and the VL1 and can even convert voices between the two. It also has a MIDI Thru capability that lets you route your controller to the desired synth
