Interface Basics
SELECTION - using the modes
You can play your WX regardless of the mode you are in - in fact, the only time you
cannot play is when you are in the middle of a DISK LOAD ALL operation. You can even
play while you are formatting a disk!
To select the elements that make up the modes and to pass, therefore, from one mode to
another, use is made of a unique and instant selection system.
The fundamental element of the mode system is the “BANK” which consists of a group
of 8 elements, either Sounds, Performances, Styles or Songs.
Example:
If one of the SOUND BANKS are pressed, eight names corresponding to the eight
sounds belonging to the given “family” will be displayed in the lower part of the display.
By pressing one of the F1-F8 selection buttons, the sound corresponding to the button
pressed will be immediately selected in the reverse-highlighted track.
The same applies for the REAL TIME PERFORMANCES, the PROGRAMMABLE
STYLES, the INTERNAL STYLES and the SONGS.
Let’s go through some practical examples.
To select a Sound
The simplest thing about WX is Sound selection.
◆ Press one of the SOUND BANKS to select the required Sound family:
PIANO CHROM ORGAN GUITAR BASS STRING ENSEM BRASS
REED PIPE SYNLD SYNPAD SYNEFF ETHNIC DRUMS
SAMPLES
SOUND BANKS
The selected Family is shown in the lower display area:
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8
◆ Press one of the Function buttons (F1…F8) to assign the relative sound
1
to the
selected (reverse-highlighted) track in the display:
NOTE 1:
The newly selected
Sound Bank will not be
accessed until one of
the Sounds are selected.
This is a general rule
for all Banks.
