SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The W5/W7 s overall system is comprised of three distinct sections: the Controller
section, the Sequencer section and the Tone Generator section. The MIDI signal, originated
externally or from the keyboard and controllers, flows through the sequencer before
reaching the tone generator.
CONTROLLER SECTION
Controls the source of the MIDI data, whether from an external source, or via the
W5/W7 s keyboard and controllers, or from both.
SEQUENCER SECTION
Receives 16 channels of MIDI data from a source and routes each channel to the
corresponding 16 tracks in the sequencer. The sequencer lets you record, edit and
play back song sequences, and assign MIDI transmit channel for each track.
TONE GENERATOR SECTION (MIXER)
Can play up to 16 different Instrument voices simultaneously, as assigned to the
sequencer tracks. The tone generator s mixer lets you determine song multi
parameters including voice select, volume, pan, Insertion Effect on/off, System
Effect (1 ~ 3) send levels, tuning, note shift and pitch bend range for each track,
as well as overall settings which affect all tracks equally.
