WHAT’S NEW IN VERSION 2

Welcome to Version 2—a powerful system upgrade package for the Yamaha W5/W7 Music Synthesizer that adds an exciting new dimension to one of the most versatile all-in-one music production workstations ever made.

Version 2 provides additional Preset voice banks, more than a hundred greatsounding new voices, a long list of unique performance, song play, recording and remixing functions, plus many convenient shortcuts and other useful new features which further streamline the W5/W7’s already simple operation.

New Features

• A total of three Preset voice banks, plus hot new techno, dance music and other voices which add unprecedented sonic dimension and musical range to the W5/W7’s high quality digital sound. (For details, see page 8.)

• Cue Play, which lets you trigger-start a song or sequence phrase from a specified measure simply by pressing a Track button. Lining up a different phrase for each of the 16 Track buttons lets you cue up the right groove or music “hit” at the right time as the mood of the party dictates. (For details, see page 11.)

• Multitrack Loop Recording, which lets you jump from track to track and spot overdub new parts in a specified series of measures to capture inspiration as it strikes. (For details, see page 13.)

• Song Remix, which lets you mix alternate versions of your tunes complete with automatic track solo, mute and other commands which you can input in realtime. The result is greatly expanded on-board “automated mixdown” options. (For details, see page 14.)

• Playback Effect, which lets you apply “groove templates” with pre-programmed quantizing and swing factors to the playback of specified tracks without altering the original music data. The right Playback Effects can literally breathe new life into your tracks. (For details, see page 15.)

• Quick Split/Layer, which lets you easily select two split voices, or add a second layered voice, on the fly as you play. The new Dynamic Split feature lets you play two voices with a “floating split point” that’s determined by note prioritization based on how you play the keyboard. (For details, see page 19.)

• Tempo Delay, which automatically calculates the delay time of System Effect 3 to the tempo of the song, which eliminates unnatural sonic clashes in order to smooth out or tighten up your mix. (For details, see page 22.)

• Faster voice selection features, simplified voice element assign and other convenient voice editing features, expanded voice and multi storage functions, additional song record and edit features, automatic song loading from disk, and much more.

How to Use This Guide

• This W5/W7 Version 2 System Upgrade Information Guide is a supplement to the original W5/W7 Owner’s Manual and W5/W7 Technical Information booklet.

• The “New Features Overview Chart” shows at a glance just what’s new and where it’s located in relation to the existing features, and the “New Features in Version 2” section provides descriptions of each new feature and how to access it.

W_DEMO.A1A file

Five songs are sequentially arranged in the file:

• SONG 01 : Isn’tItHip

• SONG 02 : Metal Bomb

• SONG 03 : Gavotte

• SONG 04 : Halftime

• SONG 05 : RAM-Jam

The various songs showcases how great the W5/W7 sounds across different genres of music. There’s more to each demonstration song than just an impressive performance, however, since they are also great examples for study of clever ways to allocate voices, optimize the various effect and other settings, and more. Note that there are special Song voices used in Song 01 and Song 05 which are not included in the factory presets.

INTVOICE.A1V file

This file contains a safety backup of the factory-programmed bank of Internal voices.

About the Accompanying Floppy Disks

The demonstration floppy disk “W5/W7 FACTORY SET & DEMONSTRATION” comes bundled with Version 1 and the “W5/W7 Version 2 DEMONSTRATION” disk is additionally bundled with Version 2. Each disk contains factory-programmed song and other data which especially highlight the exceptional capabilities of the W5/W7. (For information about loading files from a disk, see the Owner’s Manual, pages 52 and 136.)

The contents of each demonstration disk are listed and described below.

W5/W7 FACTORY SET & DEMONSTRATION

There are two types of files on the disk, as follows:

W_DEMO.A1A

All Data type file

INTVOICE.A1V Voice type file

NOTE

When loading an All Data type file, the settings in Utility mode will also be replaced. Therefore, be sure to save any important All Data type settings to floppy disk before loading an All Data type file.

ENGLISH

W5/W7 Version 2 DEMONSTRATION

There are three types of files on the disk, as follows:

W_DEMO2.A1A All Data type file

AUTOPLAY.A1S 1 Song+Voice type file

VOICE_EDIT.A1S 1 Song+Voice type file

NOTE

W_DEMO.A1A file

Three songs are sequentially arranged in the file:

• SONG 01 : Dancyndrom

• SONG 02 : Whale Song

• SONG 03 : Push Track

Version 2 features a Preset 3 voice bank which includes various voices perfect for techno and dance music.

Song 3 (“Push Track”) is a special demonstration song which lets you try out the new Cue Play function (see page

11). When you start the song from the top, the W5/W7 automatically enters Cue Play mode. In the screen you will notice which measure has been assigned as the start point for each Track button. Press a Track button to start the Cue Play from the designated measure.

AUTOPLAY.A1S file

This file contains the same song data as “SONG 01: Dancyndrom”. However, since this was saved as an Auto Play file (see page 26), if you insert the disk while the power is off, then switch the power on, the file will automatically be loaded in the first song memory and begin playing.

VCE_EDIT.A1S file

This file is a special demonstration for editing a voice. When you start the song from the top, the W5/W7 plays the intro of the demo song “Isn’t It Hip” (same as in the “W5/W7 FACTORY SET & DEMONSTRATION” disk, above), then stops, selects Track 7, then goes on to give a visual demonstration of how to edit the voice “Needle”. A note in the screen will explain what’s happening. Watch the screen as the various parameters are selected, including element assignment, template selection and parameter adjustments, Insertion Effect type selection and parameter adjustments, and others—including System Effect adjustments to various tracks. The new Remix mute and solo (see page 14) and Playback Effect features (page 15) are also introduced.

NOTE

Do not stop the playback in the middle of the song when playing VCE_EDIT.A1S, since stopping it may cause data error.

ENGLISH

PRESET VOICE BANKS

Version 2 includes two additional Preset voice banks, making a total of three Preset voice banks, or 384 Preset normal voices in ROM. Preset voice bank 2 contains the same voices as the Internal voice bank (RAM). Preset voice bank 3 includes 128 new voices, including many techno and dance music oriented voices, and several unique voices which can yield various characteristics as you play, controlled by the modulation wheel.

Including the GM voice bank, Version 2 comes complete with a total of 512 normal voices and 12 drum voices in ROM (excluding those available in the External voice bank when an Expansion Wave/Voice Board is installed), and 128 normal voices and 2 drum voices in RAM— for a total of 640 normal voices and 14 drum voices. Additionally, there are 128 Song voice memories and 2 Song drum voice memories which can be dedicated to up to 10 songs.

For a list of the new normal voices in the Preset 3 voice bank and the two new drum voices in the Preset drum voice bank, as well as the additional new elements available, see page 27.

The process of selecting voices and voice banks in Version 2 is the same as before, but there are several convenient new options as well, including Voice Category Search, Quick Voice Bank Select and Quick Program Change.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s in each of the voice banks:

ENGLISH

P3-03:Blue Lead This is a classic high-resonance analog synth type lead voice. The filter cutoff is assigned to the CS, so you

can control the amount of resonance applied to the voice at any time by moving the CS as you play.

P3-10:N-Hall Airy, futuristic sound effect type voice. The filter cutoff is assigned to the CS, so you can greatly modify the

quality of the voice in realtime by moving the CS.

P3-13:HaHahaha A whimsical simulated laughter type voice. Control the speed of the laughing with key velocity, and the

quality of the sound with the CS and Modulation Wheel.

P3-17:MwScratch1 A highly useful voice which simulates the sound of record scratching commonly used in rap and other dance-

oriented music. Adjust the CS to control the characteristic of the sound, and simulate the DJ scratching with the Modulation Wheel.

P3-32:Gang Soft but powerful, versatile resonant synth voice with rotary speaker Insertion Effect applied. Use the CS to

control the speed of the rotary speaker effect.

P3-53:Feed Pad Grungy but distinctively pleasant distortion pad voice. Control the amount of resonance with the CS.

P3-120:S.O.S. Cumulative chaos of a frantic S.O.S. signal from a submarine in distress. Use the CS to control the balance

between bell timbre and “muffled voices”.

❑Voice Category Search

Version 2’s Voice Category Search feature makes it easier than ever to locate just the right voice when you want it. This is critical considering the many hundreds of voices that are now available at any given time.

Voice Category Search lets you select the next voice number with the same Voice Category code as the current voice simply by pressing function key F5 (Ctg), in either Song Multi Play Mode or Voice Mode—including when the Voice Directory is displayed. This is really helpful when searching for similar types of voices as the currently selected one— such as piano type voices assigned with the “Pf” Voice Category code, for example.

To select the next voice number with the same Voice Category code as the current voice:

Press [F5].

Each time you press F5, the next voice with the same Voice Category code will be selected within the current voice bank, starting back at the lowest numbered voice after the highest numbered voice has been selected. You don’t need to press the Enter key.

SONG MODE

VOICE MODE

❑Voice Category Display in

the Voice Directory

Version 2 not only lets you view the voice program numbers in the Voice Directory, but also gives you the option of viewing the two-letter Voice Category codes assigned to each voice—in both Song Multi Play Mode and Voice Mode.

To view the Voice Category codes in the Voice Directory:

Press [F8] (Dir) twice.

When the Voice Directory is selected, pressing F8 will toggle back and forth between voice program numbers display and Voice Category codes display in the Voice Directory.

Version 2’s Preset 3 voice bank features an assortment of modern music sounds including techno, dance music and other voices—which add a completely new dimension to the W5/W7’s sonic possibilities. Below are descriptions of a few of the more intriguing voices which rely on the CS and Modulation Wheel to achieve maximum flexibility and impact:

ENGLISH

❑Quick Voice Bank Select

Version 2 provides a convenient shortcut for selecting voice banks within Voice Mode or from the Voice Directory in Song Multi Play Mode.

Simply pressing the Shift button will display the first letter of each voice bank (E*, I, S, G, P1, P2, P3) above function keys F1*~F7—by which you can jump directly to a desired voice bank.

To select a different voice bank:

Hold [SHIFT] and press a function key [F1]~[F7] above the desired voice bank.

When you press a function key, the desired bank is selected; the voice number is the same as for the previously selected bank. It is not necessary to press Enter as with the normal procedure for selecting banks.

When you select one of the Preset voice banks, the voice bank prefix which appears to the left of the voice program number will be denoted with one, two, or three dots, respectively, as follows:

• Preset 1

• Preset 2

• Preset 3

Note that pressing F8 (Drum) while holding the Shift button lets you alternate between normal (“Norm”) and drum voice banks.**

To select a drum voice bank:

1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F8].

2. Press a function key [F2]~[F5] above the

desired drum voice bank.

* F1 can only be used for accessing the External voice bank when an

Expansion Wave/Voice Board is installed.

** When Track 10 is selected, you cannot access the normal voices,

since channel 10 is dedicated to the drum voices.

F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F8

F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8

SHIFT

❑ Quick Program Change

Version 2 has a new Quick Program Change feature in Voice Mode. When Quick Program Change is activated, you can quickly select program numbers within a group of ten with the same first digit using buttons 0~9 on the numeric keypad—each of which corresponds to the last digit of the program number of each voice.

For example, say the currently selected voice number is 35. With Quick Program Change, you can jump directly to any voice between 30~39 simply by pressing buttons 0~9 on the numeric keypad.

To activate Quick Program Change:

1. In Voice Mode, press the [VOICE] button.

2. Press a number [0]~[9] on the keypad

corresponding to the last digit of the program number you want to select.

When in Voice Mode (see the Owner’s Manual, page 106), pressing the Voice button will toggle back and forth between Quick Program Change and normal Voice Play Mode. The words “Quick PC” will display in the upper area of the screen when Quick Program Change is active.

When you press the desired number on the keypad, the corresponding voice with the same last digit will be selected instantly, and therefore you need not press Enter to lock in the selection, as in the normal voice selection procedure. You can also press F6 and F7 to select a different voice bank, and then press a number on the keypad to select it—within the group of ten also with the same first digit.

Quick Program Change also lets you select voices outside the group of ten using the Jog dial and the Inc/Dec buttons. Also note that when you press F8 to view the Voice Directory, Quick Program Change will be bypassed, and you can select voices and banks in the normal way. However, when you exit the Voice Directory, Quick Program Change will be reactivated.
