Yamaha W5 Electronic Keyboard User Manual


 
VOICE MODE
112
PAN (-31 ~ +31) - To determine the stereo positioning of
the element between the left and right outputs, from
within the Element parameters function, press [F6] ( Pan ).
PAN POSITION - Specify the pan position using the
JOG, INC/DEC or the KEYPAD. L values will move
the sound towards the left output, while R values
will move the sound towards the right output. A value
of +0 is straight-up center position. The indicator to
the left of the numeric value provides a graphic display
of the setting.
NOTE: If you set the voice pan to the left or right side in
Voice Edit Mode, then set the pan to the opposite side on
the mixer, the voice may not be audible, or the result may
be different from your intention.
VELOCITY LIMIT - To determine the range of key-on
velocities that will play each element, from within the
Element parameters function, press [F7] ( VelL ). (The
black horizontal bar in between the low and high fields
provides a graphic representation of the range setting.)
LOW (1 ~ 127) - Position the cursor over the left
field and use the JOG, INC/DEC or the KEYPAD to
determine the low velocity limit value, which is the
lowest key-on velocity for which the element will
sound.
HIGH (1 ~ 127) - Position the cursor over the right
field and use the JOG, INC/DEC or the KEYPAD to
determine the high velocity limit value, which is the
highest key-on velocity for which the element will
sound.
With settings of Low = 1 and High = 127 you can play an
element over the full range of key velocities. You can use
the velocity limit parameters to make strongly played
notes play different elements than softly played notes.
ELEMENT
The Element parameters function lets you perform opera-
tions which determine the fundamental characteristics of the
element.
ACCESSING ELEMENT PARAMETERS
To access the Element parameters function, from within
Voice Edit Mode, press [F2] ( Elem ) or TRACK [10].
ASSIGN - To designate the elements that will make up
the voice, from within the Element parameters function,
press [F5] ( Assign ). Within Element Assign you can
specify the element bank and the AWM sample (i.e., the
element number) within it which forms the fundamental
characteristic of each element. To select either the
element bank or the element number, use the CURSOR-
LEFT and CURSOR-RIGHT keys. To select an element
(1 ~ 4) to assign an element bank and element number
to, use the CURSOR-UP and CURSOR-RIGHT keys.
(NOTE: The names of assigned elements will display in
the left area of the screen in all Voice Edit functions.
Unassigned elements will display only dashes [ ] in
all relevant fields.)
ELEMENT BANK (off, P.1 [Preset 1], P.2
[Preset 2], I [Internal], S [Song], E [External]) -
Position the cursor over the left-most field and use
the JOG or INC/DEC to choose the element bank.
When the W5/W7 is shipped from the factory, the
two preset element banks are the only banks with
samples in them. (For a listing of the elements, refer
to the Element List in the
W5/W7 Technical Informa-
tion
booklet, provided separately.)
NOTE: Bank E is accessible only if the optional
Expansion Wave/Voice Expansion Board has been
installed. Banks I and S contain no data and will
therefore display ********. These banks are reserved as
space for additional Internal and Song elements which
may be loaded into the W5/W7 by optional song disks. If
Song elements are loaded they will be cleared when the
power is turned off.
ELEMENT NUMBER - Position the cursor over the
element number field and use the JOG, INC/DEC or
the KEYPAD to choose the desired element.
