This setting defines the delay interval between each individual voice sysex table being send to the VL70m. During the initial setup you better keep this to a value of 50ms. You can bring this value down to 0ms you see that you have a reliable communication with the VL70m. If you see a sysex error on the display of your VL70m then you will have to keep this value to 50ms or higher. INTERVAL BETWEEN BYTES Similar to the above, this settings allows you to define the delay interval between bytes. Again, take a value of 50ms to start with and bring this down when you have no errors on the VL70m display.
FORCE VOICE LEVEL
This setting allows you to set a default volume level for each voice you want to load. Putting this value to 0 does disable this feature, meaning that the voice level will be loaded as original stored in the voice parameters.
DEVICE CHECK
This is used to check the two-way communication with the VL70m. Click the check button to initiate the test.

This setting is only relevant when using multiple VL-Devices. It forces the VL-Device Note Mode into Poly or Mono. Keep this to Mono when using a single VL70m.

The UNISON/EXPERT mode allows you to layer voices and make interesting combinations. Example combining a Upright bass with a AltoSax. load a Tenor of the lower and Alto Sax for the higher ranges. etc.
TOTAL UNITS
This setting tells the VL-Wizard if it has to handle multiple VL-Devices. Up to 8 VL-Devices are supported. The total rows of the Device Assign settings does reflect the Total Units number.
PLGVL MODE
When you selected a PLGVL type in the Device Assign section then the VL-Wizard will use this parameter to decide what sysex tables to send to the VL-Device.
There are 4 mode A, B, C, D.
In most case use mode A for a PLGVL card. But Mode D also works for MU units.
A: table 15
B: table 1 2 3 4 5 15
C: table 1 2 3 4 5 14 15
D: table 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

FORCE EFFECT DRY
This setting does tells the VL-Wizard to overrule the effects that are included in the VL-voice and force them to DRY during the loading.
FORCE NATIVE HEADERS
This setting tells the VL-Wizard send each sysex table using the VL native header and not the VL-XG header. This feature is included to ensure maximum compatibility. Best is to keep this setting ON= force native header.
COLOR THEMES
The VL-Wizard allows you to change the look and feel of the common and the element editor. You can do this by opening the settings selecting the a different colorscheme. You could also decide to define one yourself by selecting “User Defined”. When you do this a color selector will appear.

The setting “Total VL-Units” does set the number of rows available. Each row represents a connected VL-Device.
DEVICE ID# : It is recommended to provide each VL-device a specific device ID. You have to do this on the Yamaha synth itself. The advantage of give each device a separate ID is that you are sure that the sysex data will only be received by that device. This is very useful with working with complex setups in Unison/layered mode.
PART# and SERIAL# are settings that are available to allow for maximum compatibility, normally you will not need to use these.
NOTE# is used in Poly mode. This settings is automatically set by the VL-Wizard when setting the “Voice Mode” to Poly. You can overrule this setting anytime.
TYPE is used to tell the VL-Wizard that this slot is a VL70m or PLGVL.
MIDI OUT port name and CHANNEL is set for each VL-Device slot. Use the little Refresh button to reload the midi-port names. This is useful when you connected a midi-interface after you did launch the VL-Wizard.
The field LIBRARY does contain the path towards the VL-Voice library.
The field SYSEX LIST does contain the path where you store all your midi and sysex files that you use to configure your synth.
The field INIT FILE does contain the path and filename of the midi or sysex that is send to your Yamaha synth during start-up of the VL-Wizard. This can be handy to force your synth into VL-mode.
