Quick Guide - Yamaha WX7 Owner's Manual

CARRYING CASE
The WX7 carrying case is a light and durable case designed
to hold the WX7 plus all accessories, so you can easily carry
everything you need to your concert or recording session.
When not using the WX7, always store it in the carrying case
to protect it from damage from dust and impact. Use the
special compartments in the carrying case to store the ac-
cessories. We recommend that the inside of the carrying case
be cleaned at regular intervals, using the supplied polishing
cloth (a slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stains).
POLISHING CLOTH
Use this special anti-static soft polishing cloth to clean all
parts of your WX7, before and after every performance or
session. Difficult stains may be removed with a slightly damp
cloth, then dried with this polishing cloth. If the polishing
cloth becomes soiled, it can be washed by hand in lukewarm
water.

QUICK GUIDE

This section gets you playing the WX7 in minutes, without
having to study the detailed information in the rest of this
manual. Refer to the GUIDE TO THE CONTROLS and
ACCESSORIES AND MAINTENANCE sections for ex-
planations of the equipment mentioned in this Quick Guide.
1. Remove the WX7 from its carrying case and carefully
but firmly attach the mouthpiece by sliding it into po-
sition.
2. Insert the six batteries into the MIDI/Power Pack, in
the direction indicated in the battery compartment.
3. Use the MIDI/DC cable to connect the WX7 to the
MIDI/Power Pack. The cable connections can be locked
by turning the outer sleeve of the connectors in a
clockwise direction.
4. Use the MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT terminal
of the MIDI/Power Pack to the MIDI IN terminal of
your MIDI synthesizer or tone generator.
5. Check the following conditions on your MIDI synthe-
sizer or tone generator:
(i) It is set to receive MIDI data on MIDI channel 1,
or on all 16 MIDI channels (Omni mode).
(ii) It is connected to a sound system.
(iii) A voice (program) has been selected which responds
to Breath Control.
6. Turn on the power on the WX7's MIDI/Power Pack (its
LED will light) then turn on your MIDI synthesizer or
tone generator, and sound system.
7. You can now play your WX7. Experiment with varying
lip pressure, breath pressure, the Octave Transpose keys,
Pitch Bend Wheel, and the Hold Key. While holding
down the Program Change key, press the Octave
Transpose key to change the voice (program) on your
MIDI synthesizer or tone generator.
8. After you have satisfactorily produced a variety of
performances from your WX7, go on to read the rest
of this manual in detail, so as to get a full understanding
of this versatile and powerful MIDI instrument.
