[mannystr.txt] This bank is the first in a series of VL1 developmental voices. It contains String type timbres & behaviors. These voices are unfinished, in progress, exploratory and experimental voices, many of which eventually evolved into various VL preset, option disk and factory support voices. They are being provided to the VL tweaker who may want to explore some of the 'roads not taken' by the official VL series 'release' voices. You can start at various branches of the VL voicing evolutionary tree and continue in directions not completed or explored by the 'release' voices. General note: None of the series are tailored to Wind Controllers, and even for the VL keyboard/BC players, there are many non-standard controller routings because of what was/wasn't operational in various VL prototypes. All the voices to sound, so if you are having difficulty, verify your controller assigns, especially the MIDI controllers assigned to Breath Pressure and Amplitude. I hope you find them useful, interesting, and educational. Modelingly yours, Manny Fernandez
