Microtonality on the VL70-m Using the Expert Editor

I just finished writing up a detailed, step-by-step web page on how to use
Yamaha's "Expert Editor" to tune VL70-m sounds to arbitrary microtonal
tunings (or at least a tuning that can work with a single
completely-arbitrary tuning table). Without this technique, it only allows
for 12-tone-per-octave tables wherein the pitches within each octave only
vary from 12TET by no more than 64 cents. Feel free to check it out:

Nice page, Gary! I've heard the VL70, and they sound great! I wonder
if anyone (besides you) has one around here?

Great. Glad ya liked it.

I'm about to buy a couple more of them so that I don't have to keep bouncing to audio tracks as
often! Being monophonic is a bit of a limitation, but the interactivity and naturalness of the
sounds is liberating.
