WindWorks Releases Free VL1 Librarian
 January 12, 2000
WindWorks Design announced the release of a new software
program, VL1 Librarian. This free program is a software librarian tool
for the PC to assist in the management of voice files (patches) used with
Yamaha's VL1 and VL1-m synthesizers. The program will allow you to select
any voices from any VL1 file input source (.1vc, .1bk, .avc) and copy
them into a destination file. The librarian utilizes a graphical user
interface, incorporating simple "highlight and move" type file
manipulation.
The voice selection follows most window-type conventions, including multiple
selections through ctrl-click and shift-click functions. The interface
also supports ASCII sorting of the destination list, as well as promotion
and demotion file sorting, plus deletion.
When voice selection is complete, the destination list is written to
a single file, with the program automatically determining file format
that is compatible with the VL1 synthesizer. The written file can be directed
to a floppy for direct loading into a VL1, or to a file on another drive
for future use or library cataloging.
"With the introduction of this free software tool, we mark our
first product release," said Art Whitfield, president of WindWorks
Design. "We hope the core of VL1 and VL1-m synthesizer users enjoy
this much needed librarian program. In the future we hope to provide additional
tools for the electronic musician."
The program is available as a free download from the web.
