Adjusting The Playing Response - Yamaha WX7 Owner's Manual

DIP SWITCH #7 — Wind Curve Select
This feature allows you to select one of two breath response
settings. These are curves that determine the continuous
sensitivity of the response of the WX7 to breath pressure.
DIP Switch #7 allows you to change the shape, not the range,
of the Wind Curve. The actual range of the Wind Curve is
set using the WIND GAIN parameters (see the ADJUSTING
THE PLAYING RESPONSE section).
WIND CURVE
Set DIP Switch #7 to one of the following positions:
OFF: Linear response
Exponential response
ON:
DIP SWITCH #8 — Loose Lip/Tight Lip
This switch lets you select the Loose Lip mode or Tight Lip
mode, offering two different techniques for creating pitch
bends by lip pressure on the WX7's mouthpiece. (See the
PLAYING THE WX7 section for more information on these
modes.) The range settings of these modes are explained in
the ADJUSTING THE PLAYING RESPONSE section.
Set DIP Switch #8 to one of the following positions:
ON: Loose Lip Mode
OFF: Tight Lip Mode
ADJUSTING THE PLAYING
RESPONSE
The sensitivity of the Wind and Lip Sensors can be finely
adjusted to perfectly suit your style of playing. Four rotary
pots, located under a cover on the upper back of the WX7
(next to the DIP switches), control the playing response for
the sensors.
For each pot, turning the pot clockwise increases the pa-
rameter value; turning the pot counter-clockwise decreases
the parameter value. Use the WX7's screwdriver to adjust
these pots (be sure to replace the screwdriver in its holder
after use).
