I'll have to visit the links you've posted, but don't forget Yamaha makes other
products, such as a hardware VL board for a number of their hardware
synthesizers and keyboards. Without confirming this, I think that's what the
PLG150VL is.

>>Says it is based on the VL70m, is this much the same as the VL7?<<

The VL70m is a small half rack size module, and the VL7 is a keyboard. I
believe they are the same functionally. The VL1 is a duophonic VL7. However I
seem to remember Yamaha adding a new resonator type to the VL1 or VL7 that the
VL70m didn't have. The're still all basically the same thing though.

>>So I guess that the available downloads are for the trial/demo version.<<

Since it isn't available in the US I'm assuming the software is probably all in
Japanese and would be little use to us english speaking people.
