System; 4: Tx816 Plus Cx5M - Yamaha TX 816 Owner's Manual

QX1
Digital
Sequence
Recorder,
which
can
store
up
to
80,000
notes (about
an
album's worth)
on
eight tracks,
with
virtually unlimited
overdubbing.
The QX1
then
transmits
this
data
to
the
TX816, with each
of
the eight
tracks of
data
driving
one
of the
TF1 modules
in
the
TX816. The MIDI
THRU
terminal of
TF1
module
6
is
connected
to
the
RX11/RX15
allowing
it
to
be driven by the
MIDI
clock
signal
transmitted
from
M
I
Dl
output 8
of the
QX1
.
What's more,
as
with any
of the
systems
in
this chapter,
you
can use the audio output
of
the
DX7
to
add
an
extra
voice
to
the
numerous
voices already
at
your
disposal.
The TX81
6
wilt
follow
any
voice
changes
programmed
into
the
QX1
.
It
would
thus
be an extremely simple matter
to
utilize
all
256
voices
in
the
TX816,
in
a single
highly sophisticated composition. Also, the
RX11/RX15
Digital
Rhythm
Prdo-
grammer
will
follow any
tempo
changes
programmed
into the
QX1,
adding
in-
creadibly
realistic
drum sounds
to
the
most complex
composition.
Not only can
all
the
music
data be stored
on
the
0X1
's
floppy
disk;
you can
also
save
all
the voice
and
funciton data
from each TF1 module onto
the
Floppy
disk,
by connecting up
the
TX816 MIDI
OUT
to
the
OX1 MIDI
IN.
See
the
Dump
All
voices
And
Functions Section
in
The
Utility
MODE
Chapter,
and
your
QX1
owner's
manual,
for details
of
this
procedure.
Finally,
the
MIDI
THRU
output
of the
0X1
passes
MIDI
signals
from
the
DX7
to
the
TX816,
so
that
you can
play the
TX816
directly,
merely by switching
all
the
TF1 modules from
"Individual" to
"Common"
Connecting
the
COMMON
THRU
output
of the
TX81
6
to the
RX1
1
/RX1
5
passes the
DX7
MIDI
signal
on once
again
to directly control
the
RX11/RX15.
There
is,
in fact,
no
limit to
how many
times
you can
pass
a
MIDI
signal IN to
an
instrument
and
THRU
to
another
one.
In this
way,
whole
chains
of
MIDI
devices can
easily
be
controlled
by
a single
MIDI
keyboard.
System
4
:
TX816
plus
CX5M
The
Yamaha
CX5M
Music Computer
is
a
hignly sophisticated yet easy
to
use
digital
programming
device which,
for
a very
moduest
outlay,
permits
you
to
produce
truly
orchestral-sounding
music
with
yourTX816.
It is,
of course,
MIDI
compatible,
and
its
enormous
range
of functions
depend on which
software
you
use with
it.
Par-
ticularly suitable,
when
using the
CX5M
with the
TX816,
are the
YRM-101
FM
Music
Composer
Program and
the
YRM-103 DX7
Voicing Program. These
require
slightly different setups, so
we
will
descrebe
them
separately.
