Connecting to a Tone Generator

Connecting to a Tone Generator with a

WX Connector

The Yamaha VL70-m Virtual Acoustic Tone Genera-

tor was designed for optimum matching with Yamaha

WX-series Wind MIDI Controllers, and is recommended

for use with the WX5 to make the most of the WX5's

expressive capabilities.

To connect the WX5 to the VL70-m, simply connect

the supplied WX cable to the WX5's WX OUT connec-

tor, and to the WX IN connector on the VL70-m. No other

connections are required (the VL70-m supplies power to

the WX5 via the WX cable).

WX5 Connection

Connect the end of the WX cable with the screw

ring to the WX5. Insert the connector with the arrow on

the cable connector facing upward, then tighten the screw

ring to ensure a solid connection. Finally, clip the cable

into the cable holder for extra security.

VL70-m Connection

Align the protrusion on the VL70-m end of the cable

with the groove in the VL70-m WX IN connector, and

plug in firmly. Also be sure to set the HOST SELECT

switch on the VL70-m rear panel to "MIDI", and set the

VL70-m breath mode to BC/WX (refer to the VL70-m

owner's manual for details).

• The WX5 can also be directly connected to the Yamaha

WT11 Wind Tone Generator via the WX cable.

Connecting to a Standard MIDI Tone

Generator

In addition to connecting an AC adaptor or installing

batteries as described on page 8, connect the MIDI OUT

connector of the WX5 to the MIDI IN connector of the

tone generator or synthesizer to be used via a standard

MIDI cable (sold separately).

Before using the WX5 to control a standard MIDI tone

generator, it may be necessary to make several settings

on the tone generator side. Refer to your tone generator's

owner's manual for details, as well as the "Tone Genera-

tor Settings" section of this manual (page 27).

Also be sure to set the SW1-1(Vel), SW1-2(Win), and

SW1-3(Win) DIP switches (page 22) as shown below to

ensure smooth breath volume and timbre control.

• In order to make the most of the WX5's expressive

capabilities, it is recommended that you use a tone

generator which is capable of receiving MIDI Breath

Controller control change data (control change num-

ber 2). Breath control is ideally suited to controlling

volume and timbre via breath pressure, as well as ap-

plying a range of other effects.

• When using an XG tone generator, the tone generator's

Assignable Controller parameter is set to allow recep-

tion of breath controller data, but setting the WX5's

"Wind Controller to MIDI Data" setup switches to "Ex-

pression" (page 22) can produce better results for vol-

ume control in some cases.

• The WX5 can also be connected to a MIDI tone gen-

erator via the WX cable and an optional Yamaha BT7

Power Box.
