Using MIDI
For this example, we'll use the Upper manual to trigger sounds in the module. Sounds from the module will
then be sent to the W-5000 where they will be played through the internal speakers. Refer to your sound
module's manual for information on using it in this type of setup.
The [MIDI] buttons in each of the three sections (UPPER, LOWER and BASS) control whether or not note
data is sent to the external module (they function as ON/OFF switches). Controller data (volume, pitch
bend/modulation, expression etc.), however, is always sent to the MIDI OUT ports regardless of the settings
of the [MIDI] buttons. The [MIDI] buttons represent 'layers' in the W-5000 and can be affected by the
[VOICING] button, as well as controllers assigned to them under the [CONTROLS] button. However, some
of these advanced capabilities require a GS Format sound module.
Press the [MIDI] button in the UPPER section. Set the parameters as indicated below:
Upper MIDI
Port: 1, 2
This parameter determines from which port on the W-5000 (1 or 2) the MIDI data is sent. Select port '1' with
the [+] and [-] buttons.
Upper MIDI
Channel: 1-16
This parameter determines on which channel (1-16) the data will be sent. Press [NEXT] to select this
parameter. Use the [+] and [-] buttons to select channel '1'.
Upper MIDI
Prg: 0-128 Bnk: 0-127
This parameter determines which Program Change Number (1-128) and Bank (Variation) Number (MSB; 0-
127) is sent when the UPPER [MIDI] button is pressed. Press the [NEXT] button to select the 'Prg' field.
Select the desired 'Prg' Number with the [+]/[-] (or [++]/[--]) buttons. Press [NEXT] to select the 'Bnk' field.
Select the desired 'Bnk' Number with the [+]/[-] (or [++]/[--]) buttons. (Select Prg '0' or Bnk '0' if you do not
want Program and/or Bank select messages sent to the MIDI port.)
Upper MIDI
Bank LSB: 0-127
This parameter selects the Bank LSB (Least Significant Bit) Number. Press the [NEXT] button to select this
parameter. Use the [+]/[-] (or [++]/[--]) buttons.
Upper MIDI
Transpose: -127-127
This parameter allows you to transpose the pitch of outgoing note data (-127-127). Press the [NEXT] button
to select this parameter. Use the [+]/[-] (or [++]/[--]) buttons to set the transposition. (If you do not wish to
transpose note data, set this parameter to '0'.)
Upper MIDI
Volume: 0-127
This parameter allows you to set the volume of note data sent to the sound module. Press the [NEXT] button
to select this parameter. Use the [+]/[-] (or [++]/[--]) buttons. (Set the volume to maximum, that is, to '127'.)
These parameters, along with the setting of each [MIDI] button (on/off), can be stored in the General Presets.
In addition, changing these parameters will result in the data being sent to MIDI port 1 allowing you to hear
the changes as you make them.
MIDI Layer
Exp CC#: 7, 11
This parameter determines which Control Change command is executed when the Expression pedal is
moved: 7 or 11. Press [NEXT] to select this parameter. Use the [+]/[-] buttons to select '7'.
