an editor / librarian for the Yamaha VL series synthesizers

• Bidirectional editing – changes on synth immediately seen in software, and vice-versa
• Every Common and Element parameter included (including physics parameters not editable on synth), with values expressed in the synth’s units
• Elements page laid out as the VL’s signal flow, with editable graphic envelopes and key scaling
• New Randomize and Morph features
• Pop out windows to visualize and edit parameters from both Elements side by side
• Tuning support, including Autotune and per-key Tuning
• Most features of Yamaha’s legacy Expert, Visual and Analog editors implemented
• Preset librarian: get, send and store presets, drag and drop rearrangement of presets
• Reads SysEx, MIDI, VL1 disk and VLibrarian files
• Copy an Element, or one section of it, to the other Element
• 100 steps of Undo/Redo
• Built-in virtual keyboard, or play the VL from a controller keyboard through the editor
• Standalone application for both Mac and Windows platforms, as well as VST3, AU and CLAP plugins

• macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later, Apple Silicon or Intel (runs natively on Apple Silicon)

• Windows 10 (version 1607 or later) or Windows 11, 64-bit (x64)

• VL Editor works with version 2 of the Yamaha VL1, VL1-m and VL7 synthesizers.  Version 1 is not supported.

You’ll also need a MIDI interface connected bi-directionally to your VL synth. Plugins require a VST3, AU or CLAP host.

“VL Editor is something that I, and many others, have been waiting for a long time – a clean, well laid out and efficient editor for modern OS’s. The inclusion of the Analog and Visual Editors is a great bonus. Dan, thanks for taking this on – you just made my OS9 Macs very lonely!”

“VL Editor is intuitive, well-organized, and makes programming the VL1 a pleasure. Seeing my suggestions implemented was a real joy. At this price point, it’s a complete no-brainer compared to the substantial effort and expense of building a dedicated hardware controller.”
