This is a great sounding tone module, Bachus...the modeled sounds were very realistic. A friend of mine used one of these in the studio, controlled by a wind controller, a Yamaha WX-11, I believe.
What did you use to control it? Did you use a breath controller?
Why did you sell/trade it...were you able to get its equivalent in another instrument or module?

Well, as a big fan of the VL series, i never realised how much a breath controller was needed... what then happened was almost like a nightmare...
So after buying and playing the unit, i decided to get the breathcontroller, only to find out that the WX series of breathcontrollers where full wind emulation instruments and not what we envision with a keyboard solution breathcontroller..
Luckilly we found a device that converted the Yamaha BC1 breathcontroller information directly into Midi, this midi got connected to my keyboards midi IN.. with the Midi out connected to the VL70m...
It was a great sounding unit, at a great price, and probably way better then the VL plugin board i curently have in my Motif rack.
I never understood why Yamaha abandoned this track of VL synthesis..
Good thing is, this box allows me to connect my current BC3 to any Keyboard i want... i personally just love breathcontrollers and their expressiveness. Not being a singer adds even more to the usefullness..
