Yamaha VL70M Virtual Acoustic Tone Generator

Sound Modules

Unique to Yamaha, computer-based "physical modeling" technology which accurately simulates the complex vibrations, resonances, reflections, and other acoustic phenomena that occur in real wind or string instruments to produce high-quality monophonic voices.

REVIEWS
Feature:
I have the WX5 next generation instrument which is a great looking unit and easy to play which the exception of the lower E flat key and the lower C sharp key. It takes some getting used to on this two keys.

Quality:
Well constructed and a fine looking instrument.

Value:
too expensive for the quality of sound I am able to produce with the unit.

Sound:
It is too difficult to set all of the parameters to get a good sound. I have an older model which if feel is easier to work with than the VL70M. The sounds are too difficult to set. I have even written many letters to Yamaha and have had some success with their tips, but they are still not true sounds.

Support:
I have sent many emails trying to get someone to help me set the paramenters. Did get some help on the woodwinds, but nothing on the brass sounds.

Overall:
I am not really satisfied with the unit. I paid over $1,200 for the instrument and the sound module and I must say that it is not worth that much money since no one can actually give the parameters that make it worth using.
