Rare Yamaha keyboard with unique sounds and functions. This is Version 2 of this legendary synth. Works well and sounds great. The floppy disk drive has been replaced with a USB floppy emulator (compatible with USB memory sticks)...
More info from Yamaha:
'The first model of synthesizer to feature VA (virtual acoustic) tone generation based on physical modeling, a complete departure from sampling and FM. A VA tone generator creates sounds by simulating the physical mechanism by which wind, string and other instruments produce sound. The virtual instruments simulate characteristics such as the shape and materials of music instruments, allowing the creation of tonal changes that respond to the breathing and playing methods used. The VL1 was created with reed instruments and other wind instruments in mind, and thus is two-note polyphonic.'"
