The WX5 is your key to vastly expanded expression and musical scope. Youll be able to use familiar fingering and techniques to play an unlimited range of new sounds. Play the WX5 like a saxophone, for example, but sound like a trombone, piano, electric guitar, bass ... literally any sound that gives you the musical effect you want. Why leave this type of sonic versatility to the keyboard players? If you can play a wind instrument such as saxophone, clarinet, flute, or even recorder (the WX5 comes with a reedless recorder type mouthpiece in addition to the saxophone type mouthpiece)you can already play the WX5! |

MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is the standard used by virtually every modern MIDI tone generator or other electronic music device available from any manufacturer. Since the WX5 is a 100% MIDI-compatible controller, it can be used to play any MIDI tone generator on the market today starting with the extensive lineup available from Yamaha.The Yamaha VL70-m Virtual Acoustic Tone generator, for example, is a perfect match for the WX5. Although a mono tone generator, its advanced computer-modeling technology delivers some of the most realistic and expressive wind-instrument sounds available in any tone generator system. The Yamaha MU-series XG tone generators are also an excellent choice. But youre in no way limited: choose the MIDI tone generator that provides the type of sound you want. |

The WX5 translates the players breath and lip pressure to MIDI data via high-resolution wind and lip sensors that can be precisely calibrated to match individual playing characteristics. If you normally play sax, for example, you can set up the WX5 so that it plays almost exactly the same as your acoustic instrument. That way you can switch back and forth between instruments without even having to think about adjusting your style. |

The WX5 is easy to learn. You can choose a fingering that youre most comfortable with right from the beginning.

The reedless recorder type mouthpiece supplied in addition to the saxophone type mouthpiece makes playing even easier. An extensive range of customizable parameters lets you set up the WX5 to play the way you want it to. If you play a keyboard or other instrument, the WX5 can open the door to a whole new world of expression and musical versatility. |
