"Step into a new dimension of expressive sound with the Yamaha VL1 Version 2 Virtual Acoustic Synthesizer.
Designed to authentically recreate the nuanced tones and playing characteristics of real instruments without relying on samples, the VL1 V2 is a marvel of Yamaha’s pioneering Virtual Acoustic (VA) synthesis technology. This advanced engine uses mathematical models to replicate the physics of sound production, delivering stunningly realistic, dynamic, and expressive performances.
What Sets the VL1 V2 Apart?
Unlike traditional Sample & Synthesis (S&S) methods, which merely replay recordings of instruments, the VL1 V2 generates sound using detailed physical models of real instruments. This groundbreaking approach means the synthesizer doesn’t just recreate static tones—it captures the fluid transitions, tonal shifts, and expressive nuances that bring instruments to life. Whether it's the breathy vibrato of a flute, the bowing dynamics of a violin, or the growl of a saxophone, the VL1 V2 provides an unmatched level of realism.
Key enhancements in the Version 2 include refined synthesis algorithms and expanded sonic capabilities, making this unit even more versatile and expressive than the original.
Tailored Control for True Expressiveness
Every control on the VL1 V2 is designed to mimic the performance characteristics of live instruments. For example:
Modulation Wheel: Adjusts virtual embouchure for wind instruments or bow pressure for strings, letting you shape every note with precision.
Breath Controller (optional): Offers unparalleled realism for wind and brass sounds.
This deep level of interaction allows musicians to truly “play” the instrument, bridging the gap between synthesizer and performance art.
Expanded Sound Library
This VL1 V2 comes loaded with an extensive external sound library, including rare and highly sought-after expansion discs:
VLD-01
VLD-02
VLD-03
VLD-04
VLD-06
VLD-07
These expansions provide a treasure trove of additional instrument models and sonic possibilities, making this VL1 V2 a complete and versatile solution for musicians and producers."
