PRESS RELEASE

Free Yamaha VL1 Librarian Released

January 11, 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.
