Realistic wind-instrument type response and playability

offers unprecedented expressive control.

A 16-key layout similar to the standard saxophone lay-

out, and a choice of four fingering modes, make the WX5

easily accessible to most wind players. Beginners can

select the fingering mode that they find easiest to play.

With a WX5, a tone generator, and a pair of headphones,

you can play anytime, anywhere, without worrying about

disturbing neighbors.

Dedicated connector and cable provides direct connec-

tion to Yamaha WX-series tone generators such as the

VL70-m Virtual Acoustic Tone Generator.

Built-in MIDI output connector means the WX5 can be

directly connected to any standard MIDI tone generator

or synthesizer without the need for an external MIDI in-

terface.

High-resolution wind sensor achieves precise breath re-

sponse for smooth, natural velocity/volume control. 5 sen-

sitivity settings provide optimum response for all players.

Responsive lip sensor allows lip control of pitch and other

parameters when used with the reed (saxophone type)

mouthpiece.

Thumb-controlled pitch-bend wheel allows convenient

pitch bend control when either the reed (saxophone type)

or recorder type mouthpiece is used.

Octave keys allow pitch to be shifted over a 3-octave

range.

MIDI program change transmission means that voices

can be switched directly from the WX5.

Four key-hold button modes - normal, follow, portamento,

and sustain - provide a range of expressive control op-

tions.

Built-in LED display facilitates lip-zero adjustment.

Stable, precise response eliminates false triggering and
